ExploreAbout this exam
The Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC, उत्तराखण्ड अधीनस्थ सेवा चयन आयोग) is a state body constituted under the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission Bill, 2014 (Adhiniyam Sankhya 20 of 2014), published vide Notification No-181/XXXVI(3)/2014-39(1)/2014 dated June 24, 2014. The Governor's consent for its formation, with headquarters at Dehradun, was notified by the Personnel Section-2 of the Government of Uttarakhand vide Notification No-106/XXX(2)/14-03(01)/2014 TC-III dated September 17, 2014. The Commission's current Chairman is Shri G.S. Martolia, I.P.S. (Retired).
UKSSSC conducts recruitment for subordinate-service posts across Uttarakhand state departments and corporations. Its homepage shows live recruitment activity spanning posts such as Junior Assistant, Computer Assistant, Stenographer, Assistant Accountant, Scaler, Technician Grade-II, Tourism Officer, Livestock Extension Officer, Surveyor, Driver and Artist/Cartographer, together with advertisement numbers (for example Advt. 74, 76, 78, 79 and 70/UKSSSC/2025). The site also publishes written-examination notices, admit cards, provisional answer keys with an online objection link, typing and stenography rules, document-verification formats, provisional merit lists, recommendation lists and a debarred list.
The public source does not state a question count, duration, passing score, fee, retake policy or subject-wise weightings, and the syllabus is notified per advertisement. Preparation should therefore begin from the syllabus page for the specific post, then move to old question papers, then to the typing/stenography rules where applicable. Candidates should track the Recruitment & Notification, Admit Card, Answer Keys and Result sections directly, since dates shift and examinations are sometimes postponed.
What you'll study
About UKSSSC Group C preparation
What exactly is UKSSSC and who is it for?
It is the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission, constituted under the 2014 Act and headquartered at Dehradun. It recruits candidates for subordinate-service posts in Uttarakhand government departments and state corporations - clerical, technical, driver, stenography and similar roles advertised from time to time.
What is the exam format?
The public source does not specify a format, question count or duration. Notices on the site refer to written competitive examinations, typing and stenography tests, document scrutiny, document verification and interviews for certain posts. Treat the format as post-specific and confirm it in the advertisement and syllabus for your post.
Where do I find the syllabus for my post?
The site has a Syllabus section under Candidate Corner, and recent news items link syllabi for specific posts, such as Law Assistant, Research Officer, Assistant Boring Technician and other technical qualifications. Always match the syllabus to the advertisement number, because different posts carry different papers.
How hard is the exam?
Difficulty varies by post and by the number of applicants per vacancy, and the source publishes no cutoff or passing score. Skill-based posts add typing or stenography tests governed by separate rules. Objective preparation plus timed practice on old question papers is the most reliable way to judge your own readiness.
Can I retake the exam if I fail?
The source states no retake policy. In practice you may apply again whenever a fresh advertisement for a suitable post is published, subject to the age and eligibility conditions in that advertisement. Watch the Recruitment & Notification section for new advertisements rather than assuming a fixed retake window.
How much time do I get, and can exams be postponed?
Duration is not stated in the source. Postponement is documented: a notice dated 18 Oct, 2026 announced deferment of the written examination for Junior Assistant/Stenographer (Advt-78) and Assistant Accountant (Advt-79). Check the site before travelling to a centre.
In what order should I study?
First read the advertisement and confirm eligibility, then the post-specific syllabus, then work through old question papers under timed conditions, then drill the typing and stenography rules if your post requires them. Finish by reviewing the document verification format so paperwork does not derail you after selection.
What are the most common failure modes?
Missing a postponement or admit-card notice, preparing from a syllabus belonging to a different advertisement number, ignoring typing and stenography rules for skill posts, and submitting documents in the wrong format at verification. Answer keys are published provisionally with an online objection link, so check them and object within the stated window.
How do I check results and answer keys?
Use the Result & Recommendation and Answer Keys sections. The site publishes provisional answer keys, provisional merit lists, selection recommendation lists and a debarred list, with dates shown against each item. Always read the date on a notice, since the homepage carries entries across several months.
