UPPSC PCS Result 2026: PCS 2025 Mains Out, Final Awaited

The PCS 2026 cycle has not reached a result yet: its Prelims is scheduled for 6 December 2026 (proposed date in the Exam Calendar). The live result is the PCS 2025 final selection, which is pending after interviews held from 28 September to 24 October 2026. The PCS 2025 Mains result, published with a press note dated 17 September 2026, declared 2,297 candidates successful for interview.

How the PCS result works, stage by stage

Prelims: a screening list of roll numbers

The Prelims result is a PDF of roll numbers with a press note, with no marks. Under the 2026 advertisement, fifteen times the number of vacancies are declared successful for the Mains. Ranking uses Paper I marks only; Paper II must be cleared at 33%. In the PCS 2025 Prelims result of 1 December 2025 the Commission declared 11,727 candidates provisionally successful for 920 posts (814 PCS and 106 ACF/RFO). Prelims-qualified candidates must then fill a separate application form for the Mains and pay its fee.

Mains: shortlist for interview

The Mains is conventional, with papers including General Hindi (150 marks), Essay (150) and General Studies papers of 200 marks each. The advertisement says three times the number of vacancies are called for interview. The Mains 2025 result press note of 17 September 2026 gives the numbers: 10,284 candidates sat the Mains from 29 March to 1 April 2026, in Prayagraj and Lucknow. There were 814 vacancies across 28 types of posts. Two vacancies are filled on the written exam alone, so 2,297 candidates were called for interview against the other 812. The result was pasted on the Commission's notice board and posted on uppsc.up.nic.in.

Interview and final merit

Final selection is made on the total of Main (Written) Examination and Interview marks; for some posts the advertisement allows selection on written marks alone. Post preferences are taken at the interview and treated as final, original certificates are verified there, and selected candidates then undergo a medical examination under the rules. For PCS 2025, the interview notice of 18 September 2026 ran interviews from 28 September to 24 October 2026 in two sessions daily.

When are PCS marks and cut-offs published?

Only after the final result. Both the 1 December 2025 and 17 September 2026 press notes say candidates' marks and cut-off marks will be released after the final selection result is declared, and ask candidates not to file RTI applications for them meanwhile. Until the PCS 2025 final result appears, no PCS 2025 scorecard is available at any stage.

What happens after the PCS 2026 Prelims?

If the 2025 cycle is a guide, the result will be a roll-number list on uppsc.up.nic.in with a press note giving the numbers who appeared and qualified. Then comes a separate Mains application with document upload. In the 2025 cycle that application was due by 27 December 2025, under a notice of 12 December 2025. The 2026 cycle is for about 500 vacancies, and the advertisement's rule calls fifteen times the vacancies to the Mains.
