What This Corrigendum Says

UPSSSC has issued a corrigendum (शुद्धि-पत्र) to its Auditor and Assistant Accountant Main Examination advertisement (Advt. No. 14-परीक्षा/2026, originally dated 03-06-2026). Point 4 of the original advertisement had noted that the department-wise vacancy count could rise or fall. Acting on that clause, the Commission has now added 20 new Assistant Accountant posts under UP Jal Nigam (Rural), Lucknow to the same recruitment. With this addition, the total vacancy under Advt. 14-परीक्षा/2026 rises from 1,937 to 1,957.

New Posts Added: UP Jal Nigam (Rural), Lucknow — Assistant Accountant

Pay scale: ₹5,200–₹20,200, Pay Band-1, Grade Pay ₹2,800. Post nature: Permanent (स्थायी). Horizontal reservation among these 20: 1 post for Ex-Servicemen, 4 for Women; no posts earmarked this time for PwBD or Dependents of Freedom Fighters.

Eligibility for the New Posts

Educational qualification: Bachelor's degree in Commerce from a university established by law in India, OR a postgraduate diploma in Accountancy from a recognised university/institution — plus an 'O' Level computer diploma from a government-recognised institute.

Age limit: 21 to 40 years, reckoned as on 1 July of the calendar year in which the vacancies were advertised, as per the UP Jal Nigam (Accounts Staff) Service Rules, 2020. Standard age relaxation applies for SC/ST/OBC (non-creamy layer) and other state-notified categories.

Do You Need to Reapply?

No — if you have already submitted your final application under the original advertisement, you do not need to submit a fresh application or pay the fee again. You only need to edit your already-submitted form through the standard correction process to (a) opt in for the newly added UP Jal Nigam (Rural) post if you wish to, and (b) re-mark your complete revised order of preference across all posts you're applying for.

If you don't update your options and preference before the correction deadline, your candidature will be considered strictly on the basis of your originally submitted application and preferences — the Commission has stated no claims regarding these newly added posts will be entertained after the correction window closes.

Important Dates (Unchanged from the Original Advertisement)

All other terms — application process, fee, basis of selection, and conditions — remain exactly as published in the original advertisement.

Good to Know: A Note on the Vacancy Numbers

Some earlier reports from mid-July, when applications opened, cited the total vacancy for this exam as 1,829. The corrigendum itself states the pre-corrigendum figure as 1,937, before this 20-post addition takes it to 1,957. We could not locate an intermediate notice confirming the step from 1,829 to 1,937, so we're not treating 1,829 as current — the corrigendum, being the Commission's own dated document, is the authoritative figure as of today.
