On 25 September 2026, UPSSSC moved it, for unavoidable reasons, to 25 October, 30 October and 1 November 2026, with the same two shift timings. The notice of 12 October 2026 repeats the new dates. The old dates of 23 and 24 October are no longer in the schedule.
The exam is proposed in 60 districts of Uttar Pradesh. The notices do not say which date or shift each candidate will get.
