Selection Process

1. Shortlisting: Based on the UPSSSC PET Score (Preliminary Eligibility Test).
2. Mains Written Exam: The 100-mark test detailed above.
3. Document Verification: For candidates clearing the written cutoff.

The cutoff for the UPSSSC Netra Parikshan Adhikari (Eye Testing Officer) recruitment is determined in two stages: first, for shortlisting candidates from the PET (Preliminary Eligibility Test) to appear in the Mains exam, and second, the final cutoff after the Mains exam for selection.

Based on the recent cycle (Advt No. 06-Exam/2023), here are the key cutoff details:

1. PET Shortlisting Cutoff

To sit for the Mains exam, candidates were shortlisted based on their PET 2022 scores. Unlike general exams where the cutoff is high, specialized posts like Netra Parikshan Adhikari often have a lower PET cutoff because of the mandatory professional qualification (Diploma in Ophthalmology/Optometry).

Note: For specialized technical posts with a low number of total applicants (relative to the 15x vacancy multiplier), the Commission often allows all candidates with a positive (non-zero/non-negative) PET score to appear for the Mains.

2. Mains Exam Expected Cutoff

The Mains exam is conducted for 100 marks. Since the exam for the 2023 advertisement was held in early 2025, the estimated safe scores for final selection (based on difficulty and past trends for level-5 technical posts) are:

Factors Influencing the Final Cutoff

1. Specialized Eligibility: Because a Diploma in Ophthalmology/Refraction is required, the competition is limited only to those in this medical field, keeping the cutoff lower than general posts like Junior Assistant or Lekhpal.
2. Vacancy Count: There are only 157 total vacancies, which can push the cutoff slightly higher among the qualified professionals.
3. Negative Marking: The 0.25 negative marking penalty usually keeps the average score within the 60-75 range.
