UPSSSC Youth Welfare Officer & Physical Training Instructor Recruitment 2026 (412 Posts): What the Evidence Confirms

Short answer: The recruiting body named for this post is the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC), and the posts are Youth Welfare Officer and Physical Training Instructor. The evidence reviewed for this page, as of 10 October 2026 (IST), does not include the official notice or advertisement for this recruitment. So the 412-post figure, eligibility, fee, dates and application link cannot be confirmed here.

Quick facts: confirmed and unconfirmed

What the evidence does and does not show

The UPPSC notifications page

One source is the notifications page of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC), which is a different body from UPSSSC. It lists two direct-recruitment advertisements, D-6/E-1/2025 and D-2/E-1/2026, with their own application windows. The listing does not name the posts, so there is no basis for linking either one to the Youth Welfare Officer or Physical Training Instructor posts. Those dates should not be used for this recruitment.

The UPSSSC PET 2026 page

The other source is a third-party site covering the UPSSSC Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2026, Advt. No. 16-Exam/2026. It is not about the Youth Welfare Officer or Physical Training Instructor posts. It is useful only as background on how UPSSSC runs its processes.

• Completed as of 10 October 2026: According to that page, PET applications ran from 3 August to 7 September 2026, and corrections closed on 8 September 2026.
• Scheduled, not yet held: The same page gives revised PET exam dates of 25 October, 30 October and 1 November 2026. These are upcoming, and the admit card date is listed as "notify later".
• PET basics: It is an eligibility test with a score valid for three years, per that page. The page also calls it mandatory for most UPSSSC Group C and Group B recruitments. That is a third-party claim, so check the official notice to see whether PET applies to these posts.

The PET fee, age limit and 10th-pass qualification apply to PET only and must not be read as requirements for the Youth Welfare Officer or Physical Training Instructor posts.

How to apply: what to do now

No application procedure for this recruitment is confirmed, and no application window can be described as open, upcoming or closed. A safe approach is:

1. Open the UPSSSC official website, upsssc.gov.in, and look for the advertisement covering these posts in its notifications section.
2. Read the advertisement itself for post-wise vacancies, educational qualification, age limit and relaxations, fee, selection stages and the exact application dates.
3. Check whether One Time Registration (OTR) is required. The PET page says OTR is mandatory for PET, but do not assume the same for other posts without the notice.
4. Keep your documents and photo ready, and apply only through the link given in the official advertisement.

Permanent job or apprenticeship?

The evidence does not describe the nature of the engagement. An apprenticeship is a time-bound training arrangement, while a regular recruitment leads to a service post. Nothing reviewed here marks this opening as either. Confirm the service terms in the official notice before relying on a label.

FAQ

Is the 412-vacancy figure confirmed?

No. It appears in the topic given for this page, but none of the reviewed documents confirm it or break it down by post.

Is the PET 2026 form the application for these posts?

No. PET 2026 is a separate eligibility test, and its application window closed on 7 September 2026. It is not the application for the Youth Welfare Officer or Physical Training Instructor posts.

Where will the last date be?

It will be in the official UPSSSC advertisement for this recruitment, which was not available in the reviewed evidence. No date is given here to avoid misleading readers.
