As per the official UPSSSC graphic, candidates can register afresh or using their PET-2025 registration number, must verify their mobile number via OTP (email OTP is optional), and must submit specific details, a recent color photo, and a Hindi handwritten signature in prescribed formats.

๐ผ️ Photo & Signature Specifications
As per the official UPSSSC graphic, file specifications are strict — mismatched files are a common reason OTR submissions get stuck:
- Photo: Color, taken within the last 6 months, 50–100 kb, JPG/JPEG format.
- Signature: Your name written in Hindi, in your own handwriting, below your Hindi/English signature. English CAPITAL LETTERS are explicitly stated as not valid. File size 30–50 kb.

As per the official UPSSSC graphic: "Once the O.T.R. number is issued, no correction/amendment can be made to the details."

Double-check your name, parents' names, date of birth, address, and qualification details carefully before final submission — there is no stated process to fix errors afterward.
๐️ About UPSSSC and PET
(General background on UPSSSC and its exam structure — not additional facts stated in this specific graphic.) The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) conducts recruitment to various subordinate (Group C and equivalent) posts across Uttar Pradesh government departments. PET, commonly understood as the Preliminary Eligibility Test, is UPSSSC's common screening exam — candidates typically need to qualify PET before becoming eligible to apply for individual UPSSSC recruitment exams ("Main" examinations) for specific posts. OTR is designed to sit ahead of this process, giving each candidate a standing registration number usable across multiple future exam cycles.
๐ What This Guide Does and Does Not Cover
To be explicit about the source: this guide is based on an official-looking UPSSSC informational graphic that explains OTR requirements in a visual format. It does not carry a reference number, signature, or printed date the way a formal notice does, and Sarkari Nokrii was not able to independently verify it against a live UPSSSC URL. It does not cover the actual step-by-step OTR portal navigation (screens, buttons, exact form fields), the OTR registration deadline (if any), or fee/payment details — none are shown in the source graphic. For the live registration portal and any time-bound instructions, use UPSSSC's official website directly.
⚠️ Critical Warnings

- No correction after O.T.R. number issuance — as per the official UPSSSC graphic, review every detail carefully before final submission.
- Incorrect information risk: as per the official UPSSSC graphic, providing incorrect information may invalidate future applications.
- File specifications are strict — photo and signature outside the stated size/format ranges are a common cause of submission issues.
- Always register only through the official UPSSSC website — never through unofficial links or third-party apps claiming to offer OTR registration.
