UPPSC and UPSSSC Exams Compared
Uttar Pradesh splits recruitment between two bodies rather than numbering groups 1 to 4. Which exam suits you depends on your qualification, how much time you can commit and whether you want a descriptive paper in the process.

|---|---|---|---|
| UPPSC PCS | Bachelor’s degree | Prelims, descriptive Mains, interview | SDM, DSP, BDO and other senior state-cadre posts |
| UPPSC RO and ARO | Bachelor’s degree | Prelims, Mains; Hindi typing as an ARO qualification | Review Officer and Assistant Review Officer in state offices |
| UPSSSC Group C | Intermediate or degree per post | PET, Mains, document verification | Junior Assistant, Forest Guard and other Group C posts |
| UPSSSC Lekhpal | Intermediate | PET, Mains, document verification | Revenue Lekhpal posts in the districts |
| Technical posts | Relevant engineering or commerce degree | Written examination with a subject paper | AE, JE and departmental technical roles |
| Police | Per notification | Written test, physical standard and efficiency tests | Sub-Inspector and Constable recruitment in Uttar Pradesh Police |
Questions
Uttar Pradesh Government Exams — FAQs
Which Uttar Pradesh exam should I start with?
Most candidates start with the UPSSSC Group C and Lekhpal posts, because they are decided on a written examination and the syllabus overlaps heavily with UPPSC PCS. Read the job categories above, pick the group your qualification allows, then attempt one free mock before buying any material.
Are Uttar Pradesh government exams available in Hindi?
Yes. UPPSC and UPSSSC papers are set in Hindi and English, and the free mock tests on this page carry both versions, so you can practise in the medium you will actually write in.
How different is UPPSC PCS preparation from RO and ARO?
The reading overlaps a great deal — history, polity, economy, geography, science and Uttar Pradesh state-specific topics. The difference is the descriptive Mains in UPPSC PCS: the same ground, answered in prose against a clock, which needs writing practice rather than more reading. Check the UPPSC PCS page for the stages that follow it, because those vary between commissions.
