🔎 Advertisement Number Clarification
Why two numbers appear :When you try to download the admit card on the official UPPSC website, the link appears to say A-6/E-1/2026. The original notification for this recruitment came in 2025, so the old list of qualifying candidates and the main advertisement also say A-6/E-1/2025. The exam is scheduled for 2025, but the Mains exam and admit card process are taking place in 2026, so the link on the website says 2026. When you open a link to download the admit card or view a notice, don't just look at the year (2025 or 2026). Be sure to read the full name on the link, such as: "LECTURER (MALE/FEMALE) GOVERNMENT INTER COLLEGE (MAINS) EXAM - 2025." If the name matches completely, then that is your correct link, even if it says A-6/E-1/2026 at the front.
