UKSSSC Graduate Level Recruitment 2026: Apply 229 Posts

UKSSSC Graduate Level Recruitment 2026: VDO & VPDO Vacancy, CCC Rules, Pay Scale & 100-Mark Exam Pattern

Important correction to be aware of: Some recruitment blogs are still spreading the figure of "229 posts including VDO, VPDO and Assistant Social Welfare Officer (ASWO)". However, that figure comes from an older, separate UKSSSC advertisement. The present UKSSSC Graduate Level Group C recruitment (Advertisement No. 70/2025) includes 221 posts—specifically 205 Village Development Officers (VDO) and 16 Village Panchayat Development Officers (VPDO)—with no Assistant Social Welfare Officer (ASWO) position linked to this recruitment. You should always verify that the post name matches the one on your admit card and in the notification PDF before concluding that you are eligible. .

The 2026 recruitment drive by UKSSSC is the one that candidates are currently following for the positions of Village Development Officer and Village Panchayat Development Officer, as advertised on sssc.uk.gov.in. The article provides information regarding the number of vacancies, eligibility criteria, the CCC rules, salary, the 100-mark exam structure, and the application process, all based on the UKSSSC notices that were verified as of August 2026.

The Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission is conducting its Group C recruitment exercise for 2026, offering 221 positions as Village Development Officer and Village Panchayat Development Officer, for graduates who are within the specified age limit, via the website sssc.uk.gov.in.

UKSSSC Graduate Level Recruitment 2026: Overview

UKSSSC Graduate Level Vacancy 2026

Here's the verified post-wise split. Figures for ASWO or "Assistant Manager" are not confirmed under this advertisement — do not assume they exist here.

One notification, several eligibility rules — don't treat every Graduate Level post as interchangeable.

CCC Certificate Requirement: Which Posts Need It?

Is CCC Mandatory for VDO?

Yes, according to the available notification-based reporting, a CCC level or an equivalent computer certification is given as an additional requirement together with the graduation degree. However, it is necessary to find out which equivalent certificates (for example, O-level, CCC++, or similar) the UKSSSC accepts, as the lists of equivalents differ from cycle to cycle.

Computer qualification is also a condition for eligibility in most notification summaries. The exact phrasing and whether or not an equivalent certificate is accepted should be checked in the notification PDF rather than being assumed from the requirement in the post.

Can Candidates From Other States Apply?

In the case of the UKSSSC recruitment for these Group C positions, domicile or residency requirements specific to Uttarakhand have in the past been applied. This article does not state the exact domicile rule as it applies to the current advertisement—so regard this as unverified and refer directly to the eligibility section of the notification.

UKSSSC Graduate Level Eligibility Criteria

• The educational qualification required is a graduate degree or one equivalent to it from a university that is recognized.
• Computer qualification: CCC or equivalent, as required for the job. Check the exact clause.
• Nationality: This applies to Indian citizens, and in the case of Tibetan refugees who were settled before 1 January 1962 and persons of Indian origin who migrated from certain countries, the standard UKSSSC nationality provisions apply.
• As for domicile: it has not been confirmed in this article — you should check the notification.
• For relaxation: in accordance with the rules of the Government of Uttarakhand — the exact percentages are not confirmed here.

Age Limit and Relaxation

For this recruitment cycle the reported age group is 21 to 42 years, the ages being calculated on the cut-off date mentioned in the notice. In respect of category-wise relaxations (for SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD/ex-servicemen) the rules of the Uttarakhand government apply, but the exact number of years of relaxation is not verified in this article — you should check the relaxation details in the notification PDF.

UKSSSC Graduate Level Salary Pay Level 4, 5, 6

The reported salary range for the position of VDO/VPDO is from ₹25,500 to ₹81,100, which corresponds to a mid Pay Matrix level within the 7th Pay Commission framework. However, the specific Pay Level (either 4, 5, or 6) for each post has not been independently verified in the documents examined for this article – check the notification before using the figure for salary calculations.

The basic pay forms part of the gross salary and includes allowances (DA, HRA, TA) as well as the standard deductions (NPS, professional tax) in accordance with the norms of the Uttarakhand government. The basic-pay amount given above should not be regarded as the in-hand salary.

UKSSSC Graduate Level Exam Pattern 2026

Uttarakhand VDO Syllabus: 100 Marks Exam Pattern

The paper is usually divided into three main sections: General Hindi (which covers the language and literature, including the major dialects of Uttarakhand such as Kumaoni, Garhwali and Jaunsari), General Studies/General Knowledge, and Uttarakhand-specific General Knowledge. However, the exact subject-wise breakdown of marks is not consistently confirmed in different sources – therefore, any specific figure (for example, "40 marks for Uttarakhand GK") should be regarded as unverified until it has been cross-checked with the official syllabus PDF.

The Uttarakhand GK Component: Why It Matters

Just a quick remark: candidates generally fail to adequately prepare the part that is specific to the state. Whether the exact proportion of it in the present cycle is or is not specified, Uttarakhand GK always includes topics such as the state's history, geography, rivers and districts, culture, administration, economy, government schemes, environment, and current state affairs. Because these subjects are more limited and more predictable than general Indian GK, focused revision on them usually results in a better return in terms of marks per hour.

UKSSSC Graduate Level Application Form 2026

Applications for this cycle were first accepted online from 15 April 2025 until 15 May 2025. The written examination, which had been initially arranged for 21 September 2025, was cancelled and then held as a re-exam on 14 June 2026. In the event that the UKSSSC establishes a new application period under a new advertisement in 2026, regard the dates given below as belonging to the historical Advt. No. 70/2025 cycle and check again ss sc.uk.gov.in for any further notice.

1. Visit the official UKSSSC website, sssc.uk.gov.in.
2. Complete or update your OTR (One Time Registration).
3. Log in using your OTR credentials.
4. Select the relevant Graduate Level (VDO/VPDO) application link.
5. Upload required documents/photograph and pay the applicable fee.
6. Submit the form and save the final application receipt.

Documents Required

Mandatory:

• Recent photograph and signature (as per prescribed specifications)
• Educational certificates (graduation marksheet/degree)
• Government-issued identity proof

Conditional (post/category dependent):

• CCC/computer certificate, where prescribed for the post
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), where applicable
• Domicile certificate, where applicable
• Other documents specified in the notification

UKSSSC OTR Registration

The OTR form collects your personal information, details about your education, your mobile number or email address, identity verification data, photograph and signature, as well as your category information once, so that it can be used again in future applications with UKSSSC. When you are completing the eligibility fields as part of the OTR process, make sure they are correct because an incorrect graduation year, category, or contact information at this stage could lead to problems later on, including when going through the document verification process, even if the details you entered on your actual application form were correct.

1. Selecting the wrong educational qualification field
2. Entering an incorrect category
3. Missing the CCC certificate where mandatory
4. Uploading a non-compliant photograph or signature
5. Leaving OTR details incomplete or outdated
6. Choosing the wrong post preference (VDO vs VPDO)
7. Not completing final submission after saving a draft
8. Failing to save or print the final application receipt

VDO vs VPDO: Quick Comparison

VDO requires a formally recognised graduation degree, together with a computer certificate of the CCC type as an additional condition; similarly, VPDO has a graduation requirement alongside its own clause relating to computer qualification. In fact, the two positions have a great deal in common with regard to the basic degree but differ in terms of department, the number of vacancies and the specific pay levels—so it is necessary to examine each of the clauses separately.

Preparation Strategy

Priority 1 — Uttarakhand GK, since it is a state-specific, narrower syllabus with a strong marks-per-hour return.
Priority 2 — General Hindi, including local dialects likely to feature in language questions.
Priority 3 — General Studies covering national and current affairs.
Priority 4 — Any remaining prescribed sections named in the official syllabus.

With 100 questions in 2 hours and 0.25 negative marking, accuracy matters more than attempting every question. Allocate a fixed daily revision slot to Uttarakhand-specific history, geography, culture and current affairs, since this segment is the most differentiating part of the paper for candidates outside the state's core recruitment coaching circuit.
