Check whether you're on the Main Exam shortlist
Overview
The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has approved the shortlist of candidates eligible for the Pharmacist (Ayurvedic) / Bheshajik (Ayurvedic) Main Examination, under Advertisement No. 01-Exam/2024. The shortlist is based on normalized scores from the Preliminary Eligibility Test 2023 (PET-2023). 2,678 candidates have been shortlisted against 1,002 vacant posts, which are under the control of the Directorate of Ayurved, Uttar Pradesh.
A Long Gap Between Application and Shortlist
Online applications for this recruitment closed on 3 March 2024. This shortlist notice is dated 28 July 2026 — roughly two and a half years later. The notice itself does not explain this gap, so we're not speculating on the reason; candidates who applied back in 2024 should simply note that this shortlist is for the same recruitment they originally applied to, however long ago that was.
1,002 Posts, 2,678 Shortlisted — What This Means
These figures are not comparable, and neither is wrong. 1,002 is the number of vacant posts. 2,678 is the number of candidates who cleared the PET-2023 eligibility bar (after candidates with zero or negative scores were separated out) and are now eligible to sit the Main Examination — a separate exam that will determine final selection. Being on this shortlist is not a job offer or a final selection — it only means you may now appear for the Main Exam. Note that this shortlist-to-post ratio (about 2.7 shortlisted per post) is much smaller than in some other UPSSSC shortlists — this notice states candidates were shortlisted "to the extent of availability," which reads as a more limited shortlisting pool than a large standard multiplier.
No Cutoff Marks Published in This Notice
Unlike some other UPSSSC shortlist notices, this particular one does not publish category-wise or horizontal cutoff marks. It states only that candidates with zero or negative actual/normalized PET-2023 scores were excluded, and that the remaining 2,678 candidates were shortlisted based on their normalized score. If UPSSSC releases a separate cutoff-marks notice for this recruitment later, we'll cover it separately rather than guessing at figures here.
