📈 Year-over-Year Trend
This UPSC drive has only 34 vacancies across 7 niche posts — much smaller than SSC or bank recruitment drives. Competition will still be high since it’s a UPSC-conducted selection, but the narrow post-wise eligibility means fewer eligible applicants per post compared to mass recruitment exams.
❓ More Information You Need
Q: What educational qualification do I need for these posts (engineering degree, MA in Hindi, agriculture degree)?
Typically these UPSC posts require: Assistant Executive Engineer (Civil/Electronics) – Bachelor’s degree in Civil/Electronics Engineering; Assistant Director (Engineering) – Bachelor’s in relevant engineering; Superintendent Translation (Hindi Branch) – Master’s degree in Hindi/English with translation experience; Research Officer – Master’s degree in relevant science field; Horticulture Development Officer – Bachelor’s in Horticulture/Agriculture; Soil Conservation Assistant – Bachelor’s in Agriculture/Forestry/Soil Science. Exact qualifications differ by post and must be confirmed from the detailed advertisement, but this gives a realistic sense of eligibility before opening the PDF.
Q: How much will the application fee cost me?
UPSC’s standard fee structure for such recruitment is Rs. 25 for General/OBC/EWS male candidates, with full fee exemption for SC/ST/PwBD/Women candidates of all categories. This is the typical UPSC fee pattern and should be confirmed against Advertisement No. 10/2026, but gives an expected cost estimate.
Q: Is there a written exam, interview, or just document check — how will I actually be selected?
Selection Process section states ‘Direct Recruitment by Selection’ followed by ‘Document Verification’ — there is no written exam. Selection is based on shortlisting from applications/qualifications, followed by document verification and possibly an interview. The ‘Exam Pattern’ section heading is misleading since no exam/screening test exists — this should be relabeled as ‘Selection Stages’ to avoid confusion.
