The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) advertised 3,446 Technical Assistant Group-C posts in the Uttar Pradesh agriculture department under Advertisement 07-Exam/2024. Online applications ran from May 1 to May 31, 2024. That window is closed, so this page is a reference record of what the recruitment required, how the written exam was structured, and where the timeline stood when last reported. It is not an application guide.
Current status of this recruitment

Both dates are now in the past. This article does not state a final selection outcome, merchandise-style appointment list or joining details, because those were not established in the reporting it draws on.

Eligibility conditions
Eligibility had three parts as reported in 2024. Each is taken from contemporaneous coverage, so the official notice governs any detail that differs.
#1 Best Overall
UP PET 2023 appearance
Reports say candidates had to have appeared in the UP PET 2023 test. Candidates with a zero or negative absolute score, or a zero or negative normalized score, were excluded from shortlisting.
Educational qualification
The reported requirement was a bachelor’s degree in agriculture, horticulture, or forestry from a recognized university.
Age limit
Candidates were required to be between 21 and 40 years old as of July 1, 2024. Reserved-category candidates were eligible for upper-age relaxation under the rules described in the notice.
Application fee and the deadline discrepancy
The reported application fee was ₹25. The May 31 closing date for applications is consistent across reports. The later date for fee payment and application correction is not: Jagran Josh gave June 6, 2024 as the fee deadline, while Careers360 gave June 7, 2024 for fee adjustment and amendment. Neither date should be treated as definitive without checking the official notice or corrigendum.

If you are preparing for a similar exam
Exams with a multi-subject syllabus like this one often lead candidates to buy a preparation book or question bank. When comparing such materials, the reported syllabus above is the most useful checklist:
- Coverage of the agriculture topics, and whether the weighting roughly matches the question counts in the table above.
- Coverage of computer and IT, and of Uttar Pradesh general information, which together account for 35 of the 100 questions.
- Practice questions or solved papers that follow the 100-question, 120-minute format.
- Edition or publication date, since syllabi and schemes change between recruitment cycles.
No specific book, publisher or current listing was verified for this recruitment, so no title is recommended here.
How to confirm the current status
- Open the official website of the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission.
- Search for Advertisement 07-Exam/2024 and read the full notice, including its eligibility and age-relaxation sections.
- Check for any corrigendum or amendment that changes the fee, correction or application dates.
- Look under the results or notices section for the Technical Assistant mains result and any later appointment notice.
- Compare your roll number and category details against the official list, rather than relying on news summaries.
Media reports are useful for the outline of a recruitment, but where they differ, as they do on the June fee deadline, the commission’s own notice is the controlling document.
