UPPSC Admit Card: District Slip, OTR Login, Exam Rules

UPPSC issues e-Admit Cards on uppsc.up.nic.in, and for its recent written exams in two steps: a District Information Slip first, then the admit card three days before the exam. For the flagship PCS 2026, the Prelims is scheduled for 6 December 2026 (a proposed date in the Exam Calendar of 30 January 2026), and no slip or admit card had been issued as of 27 October 2026. Every download uses your OTR number, the one registration number the Commission uses for all its applications.

How does UPPSC's two-step call letter work?

The pattern is laid out in two October 2026 notices. One is the Dental Surgeon (Screening) Exam-2025 notice of 16 October 2026 and the other is the Lecturer, Government Ayurveda College (Screening) Exam-2023 notice of 23 October 2026.

1. District Information Slip. Log in with your OTR number and download the DISTRICT INFORMATION SLIP to see the district of your centre. The Commission states plainly that this slip is advance information, not an admit card. For the Ayurveda lecturer exam it opened on 24 October 2026, 10 days before the exam date; for the Dental Surgeon exam, on 19 October 2026.
2. Admit card. Released 03 days before the exam: 25 October 2026 for the Dental Surgeon exam on 28 October 2026, and from 30 October 2026 for the Ayurveda lecturer papers on 2 to 6 November 2026. Download it with the instructions sheet, again through your OTR number.

The Download Segment on uppsc.up.nic.in lists each live admit card with a start and end date. On 27 October 2026 it showed only the Dental Surgeon admit card, open from 25/10/2026 to 28/10/2026, so download early.

What UPPSC's admit-card notices require on exam day

• Bring two photographs and an ID proof in original plus a photocopy; the photocopy is handed to the invigilator.
• Entry starts 1 hour 30 minutes before the exam and the centre gate closes 45 minutes before the start.
• Sit only at the centre in the district printed on the admit card, on the stated date and time.
• Every notice quotes the Uttar Pradesh Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024 (Act No. 8 of 2024, published 6 August 2024). Copying, leaking or conspiring to leak a paper can mean a fine of up to one crore rupees and life imprisonment.

Interview letters work differently

In the PCS 2025 cycle, interview letters were downloaded through the OTR login, and candidates then filled and submitted an online post-preference (adhimanyata) form. In the PCS 2025 cycle, letters opened on 22 September 2026, with authentication by OTR number and password/OTP, for interviews from 28 September to 24 October 2026.

What if the details are wrong?

UPPSC advertisements, such as the PCS 2026 advertisement, ask that every letter to the Commission quote the examination name, advertisement number, OTR number, application ID, name, date of birth, father's/husband's name and roll number. The homepage lists online[dot]uppsc[at]nic[dot]in for queries. The same advertisement says no request to change a centre is entertained.
