UPSSSC declared the Nakshanavish (Cartographer) and Manchitrak Mains Result on 07 September 2026 under Advertisement No. 11-Exam/2023. Against 283 total posts, 997 candidates have been shortlisted for Eligibility/Document Verification. General cut-off stands at 51.50, OBC 50.00, EWS 47.50, SC 41.25, and ST 38.75.
This is not the final selection. It's the qualifying list for the next stage — records scrutiny. Being on the list of 997 gets you a DV call letter. It doesn't get you the job yet.

Key Highlights: Advt 11-Exam/2023 Selection Stats & Vacancy Ratio
Here's the math behind the shortlist, because most portals just print "997" without explaining what it means.
283 posts → 997 shortlisted → roughly 3.52x screening ratio.
That ratio isn't arbitrary. UPSSSC typically shortlists 3 to 4 times the number of vacancies for DV, because a chunk of candidates get rejected at the document stage — wrong caste certificate format, expired EWS income certificate, diploma from an unrecognized institute, and so on. A 3.52x buffer gives the commission enough surplus to still fill all 283 seats after rejections.
Post-wise Vacancy Split (As Per the Original 2023 Notification)
| Post Name | General | EWS | OBC | SC | ST | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nakshanveesh (Cartographer) | 86 | 17 | 29 | 112 | 4 | 250 |
| Manchitrak | 16 | 3 | 6 | 6 | 2 | 33 |
| Total | 102 | 20 | 35 | 118 | 6 | 283 |
Pay structure: Both posts sit at Level-5 of the UP State 7th Pay Commission matrix — ₹29,200 to ₹92,300 basic pay, plus applicable DA, HRA, and other standard state government allowances. This is a step below Level-6 (₹35,400–₹1,12,400) that some technical posts carry — if you've seen that figure floating around for this exam, it's incorrect. Level-5 is what's attached to Nakshanavish/Manchitrak specifically.
Official UPSSSC Nakshanavish & Manchitrak Cut-Off Marks 2026 (Advt 11-Exam/2023)
Vertical (Category-Wise) Cut-Off
| Category | Cut-Off Marks |
|---|---|
| UR / General | 51.50 |
| OBC | 50.00 |
| EWS | 47.50 |
| SC | 41.25 |
| ST | 38.75 |
Horizontal Reservation Cut-Off
| Category | Cut-Off Marks |
|---|---|
| Women | 34.00 |
| Dependents of Freedom Fighters (DFF) | 28.00 |
| Ex-Servicemen (ESM) | 7.00 |
| PwBD – Hearing Handicap (H.H.) | 1.25 |
| PwBD – One Arm (O.A.) | 26.25 |
| PwBD – One Leg (O.L.) | 31.25 |
| PwBD – Both Leg (B.L.) | 22.75 |
| PwBD – Locomotor (L.C.) | 13.50 |
The notice also states that candidates were not available in a few PwBD sub-categories (including Dwarfism and Acid Attack Victims), and some horizontal categories weren't advertised for these two posts at all — so don't be alarmed if your specific sub-category doesn't appear.
Why the Ex-Servicemen and DFF Cut-Offs Look "Low"
If you're comparing this to other UPSSSC exams, the Ex-Servicemen cut-off of 7.00 and DFF cut-off of 28.00 might look surprisingly low next to the general cut-off of 51.50. This isn't a typo — horizontal cut-offs are calculated within the pool of candidates who qualify under that specific reservation category and clear the minimum eligibility threshold, not against the full applicant pool. A small number of ESM/DFF applicants for a niche technical post like Nakshanavish naturally produces a lower internal cut-off. It doesn't mean the exam was "easier" for that category — it means fewer people competed within it.
Cut-Off Dynamics: What Actually Moved the Needle
Two things typically decide where a technical-post cut-off lands:
- PET 2022 score weightage in the applicant pool — since eligibility to sit the mains exam was gated by UPSSSC PET, the pool skewed toward candidates who'd already cleared a competitive screening, which tends to push cut-offs up slightly compared to open-entry exams.
- Paper difficulty on 16 November 2025 — technical/drafting-heavy papers (civil engineering diploma-level content) usually produce a wider score spread than generic GK papers, which is part of why SC/ST cut-offs sit noticeably lower than UR/OBC/EWS here — a steeper drop-off in the mid-score range is typical for technical papers.

UPSSSC Nakshanavish / Manchitrak Document Verification (DV): What's Confirmed and What Isn't
Status as of this writing: UPSSSC has not yet released a formal DV schedule (dates, reporting slots, or venue notice) for Advt 11-Exam/2023. The commission's result notice states only that eligibility/document verification is the next stage — candidates need to keep checking upsssc.gov.in for the call letter and schedule. Any site giving you a specific DV date right now is guessing; treat it as unconfirmed until UPSSSC publishes an actual notice.
What we do know:
- UPSSSC's headquarters — where DV for most of its central recruitment drives is conducted — is located at 3rd Floor, Pickup Bhawan, Vibhuti Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow – 226010. This is the commission's standard verification venue for Lucknow-based DV rounds, though UPSSSC can also assign satellite venues for large candidate pools.
- The DV call letter, when released, will be downloadable the same way as the mains result — via registration number and DOB login on the official portal.
Technical Eligibility Scrutiny: Civil Engineering Diploma vs. ITI Draftsman Certificate
This is the part most portals gloss over, and it's where a real chunk of the 997 candidates could get rejected. The original notification lists two separate qualification routes to the same post:
- Route 1 — Diploma in Civil Engineering (3-year, AICTE/state board recognized) OR Certificate in Cartography from specified institutions (Roorkee University, AMU, BHU, Govt. Art College Lucknow)
- Route 2 — ITI Certificate in Nakshanveesh (Draftsman trade)
At DV, scrutiny officers verify these very differently:
| Check Point | Civil Engineering Diploma Route | ITI Draftsman Certificate Route |
|---|---|---|
| Recognizing Body | AICTE / State Board of Technical Education | NCVT / SCVT |
| Duration Requirement | Full 3-year diploma (part-time/lateral entry diplomas face extra scrutiny) | 2-year ITI trade certificate, typically accepted as-is if from a recognized ITI |
| Marksheet Cross-Check | All semester marksheets + provisional/final diploma certificate | Trade certificate + NCVT/SCVT verification |
| Common Rejection Reason | Diploma from an unrecognized private polytechnic, or a "diploma equivalent" certificate not on the state's approved list | Certificate from an unrecognized private ITI, or an expired/unrenewed registration |
| Typically Favored For | General technical drafting proficiency + broader civil engineering fundamentals | Post-specific drafting and tracing skill validation |
The practical takeaway: candidates coming through the diploma route need their institution to appear on the UP Directorate of Technical Education's recognized list, and candidates coming through the ITI route need NCVT/SCVT affiliation proof, not just the certificate itself. Scrutiny officers commonly ask for the original registration/enrollment number alongside the certificate — carry that even if it's not explicitly listed on the checklist.
Mandatory DV Document Checklist (Standard for UPSSSC Technical Posts)
Based on UPSSSC's standard document-verification format for technical drafting/cartography posts, keep these ready:

- Diploma in Civil Engineering / Cartography Certificate / ITI Draftsman Certificate (original + attested photocopy)
- UPSSSC PET 2022 scorecard
- Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC), issued within the validity window UPSSSC specifies in the DV notice
- EWS certificate for the current financial year (EWS certificates typically expire annually — an old one will get you rejected on the spot)
- Domicile / residency certificate for Uttar Pradesh
- Aadhaar card or another government photo ID
- Character certificate, where required
- Passport-size photographs matching the ones uploaded during application
- Original mains admit card and result printout
