FAQs
Do I need to qualify UPSSSC PET before applying for UP Lekhpal?
Yes — UP Lekhpal recruitment is open only to candidates who have already qualified the UPSSSC PET (Preliminary Eligibility Test); PET acts as the mandatory screening qualification.
Is there negative marking in the Lekhpal main exam?
Most secondary sources report 0.25 marks deducted per wrong answer, but this should be confirmed against the official notification since UPSSSC pattern details are occasionally revised between recruitment cycles.
What subjects should I focus on for UP Lekhpal?
General Knowledge, General Hindi, and Rural Development & Society are consistently reported subjects; Mathematics has been reported as removed in at least one revised version of the pattern, so check the latest official syllabus before skipping it.
Is there an interview after the written exam?
Selection for UP Lekhpal is generally through the written exam and document verification, without a separate personal interview, but confirm this against the specific recruitment notification.
