Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) Veterinary Pharmacist Recruitment 2026 - 1,308 Posts

The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has released Advertisement No. 18-Exam/2026 for 1,308 Veterinary Pharmacist posts to support animal healthcare services across Uttar Pradesh. UPSSSC recruits for these subordinate posts on behalf of the state's Animal Husbandry Department, and Veterinary Pharmacists work in veterinary hospitals and centres, helping animal healthcare reach farmers and livestock owners across the state. Only candidates who already have a valid PET-2025 (Preliminary Eligibility Test) score can apply — this score is used to shortlist candidates for the Main written exam, so you do not need to appear for a separate preliminary round if you already cleared PET-2025. This is a good opportunity if you hold a diploma in veterinary pharmacy and want a stable government job with a clear pay scale and long-term career growth.

Who Can Apply?

• Qualification: You must have passed Class 12 (Intermediate) with Biology, along with a Diploma in Veterinary Pharmacist of at least 2 years 3 months duration from a recognized institution.
• PET Requirement: You must have a valid PET-2025 (Preliminary Eligibility Test) score to apply — fresh applications without a PET score are not accepted for this recruitment.
• Domicile: You should be a resident of Uttar Pradesh, though the exact domicile conditions and any relaxations are laid out in the official notification.

Category-wise Vacancies:

• General: 576 posts
• OBC: 359 posts
• SC: 237 posts
• EWS: 130 posts
• ST: 6 posts

Age Limit

• You should be between 18 and 40 years old as on 1 July 2026.
• Age Relaxation: Applicable for SC/ST/OBC candidates and UP government employees as per state government rules.

Salary

• Selected candidates will get a salary of Rs. 29,200 to Rs. 92,300 per month under Pay Matrix Level 5.
• You will also get DA, HRA and other allowances as per Uttar Pradesh government rules.
• This pay scale reflects a stable, long-term government career with regular increments as per the pay matrix.

Application Fee

• All Categories (General/OBC/EWS/SC/ST): Rs. 25
• Payment mode: Online, through the UPSSSC portal.

Since shortlisting uses your existing PET-2025 score, this recruitment charges only a small processing fee instead of a full exam fee — a big saving compared to recruitments that require a fresh preliminary exam.

Selection Process

The selection will be done in these stages:

1. PET-2025 Shortlisting: Candidates are shortlisted for the Main exam based on their PET-2025 score, so your prior PET performance directly decides whether you get called for the next stage.
2. Main Written Exam: 100 questions for 100 marks in 2 hours, covering subjects related to veterinary and animal husbandry. Negative marking of 0.25 marks per wrong answer.
3. Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates must verify their educational certificates, PET scorecard, and category documents.

There is no interview for this recruitment — your Main exam score decides the final merit list.
