Who can apply: qualification, PET-2025 and age

You need High School from the UP Board or an equivalent exam, and a three-year diploma in Agricultural Engineering from the Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh, or an AICTE-approved equivalent. Only candidates who appeared in PET-2025 and received its score card could apply. The age limit is 18 to 40 years on 1 July 2026, and the date of birth is taken only from the High School certificate. Candidates who are not domiciled in Uttar Pradesh cannot claim reservation and are treated as unreserved.

Exam pattern and syllabus

The main exam has one objective paper of 100 one-mark questions to be finished in two hours. Part 1 carries 65 questions, five each from thirteen topics: farm power and non-conventional energy, I.C. engines, tractors, biogas, wind and solar energy, post-harvest technology, agro-based industries, farm machinery, irrigation and drainage, water requirement of plants, irrigation methods and minor irrigation, soil and water conservation, and land and ravine reclamation. Part 2 has 15 questions on computers and information technology, and Part 3 has 20 questions on Uttar Pradesh. Each wrong answer costs a quarter of a mark.

Fee, dates and how the form worked

Registration and fee payment opened on 17 September 2026 and closed on 7 October 2026. Every category paid only the ₹25 online processing fee; shortlisted candidates pay the main exam fee separately before downloading the admit card. Applicants logged in with their PET-2025 registration number. Payments not yet reconciled by the bank, and corrections to address, category details, qualification and marital status, can be completed until 14 October 2026.

Shortlisting and selection

Selection is through the written exam alone, as interviews for these posts have been abolished. Candidates are first shortlisted by their normalised PET-2025 score, about 15 times the category-wise vacancies. If the exam is held in more than one shift, scores are normalised as per the Commission's notice of 22 May 2019. Applicants must keep their certificates ready, because the Commission can cancel a candidature at any stage if a qualification was not held by 7 October 2026.
