🏢 Updated Category-Wise Vacancies (Total: 7,994)
Following an official review in late December 2025, the UPSSSC released a revised vacancy list to strictly adhere to reservation guidelines.

📉 Expected PET 2025 Cutoff for Lekhpal Mains
Since UPSSSC typically shortlists candidates at a ratio of roughly 30 times the number of vacancies (considering all candidates with the same marks as the last shortlisted candidate), the estimated cutoff raw marks are as follows:
| Category | Expected Cutoff (Raw Marks) |
| General / OBC / EWS | 62 – 65 |
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 58 – 61 |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 44 – 47 |
| Female (All Categories) | 63 – 65 |
Note: These are expert projections based on the difficulty level of the PET exam held in September 2025 and the total number of applicants (~19 lakh). The official cutoff will be released only after the application window closes on January 28, 2026.
