UKPSC PCS Admit Card 2026: Download from 13 Nov, Exam on 29 Nov

The UKPSC PCS Admit Card 2026 is available from 13 November 2026. The Uttarakhand Public Service Commission issued the admit card notice on 6 November, and the preliminary exam follows on 29 November 2026, a Sunday, in two sessions across 18 towns in the state. The exam is the Uttarakhand Combined State Civil/Upper Subordinate Services (Preliminary) Examination 2026, under Advertisement A-1/E-1/2026-27, for 67 posts.

Download the admit card from the Commission website, psc.uk.gov.in. The link in the admit card section leads to the application portal, pscuk.net.in. The Commission will not send the admit card by post, and it will not consider any request to change the examination centre, so the centre printed on your card is the centre you report to.

One practical note. The notice puts the release on 13 November, but the portal link can take time to appear during the day. If you open pscuk.net.in and do not see the PCS entry yet, check the Admit Card section on psc.uk.gov.in again later.

Do not use links from other websites. Only the Commission site carries the real admit card.

What the admit card notice says

The notice is short, and it is worth reading as it stands. It carries the number 176/06/E-01/DR/PCS/2026-27 and the date 6 November 2026, and it is signed by Ashok Kumar Pandey, Secretary of the Commission.

It covers only the admit card and the exam day. It does not repeat the eligibility rules or the post list. Those sit in the advertisement itself, A-1/E-1/2026-27 dated 9 September 2026, which puts the total vacancies at 67.

Three points in the notice matter most. First, the admit cards go up on 13 November 2026 on the Commission website. Second, no admit card will be sent separately by post. Third, no request for a change of examination centre will be considered.

The notice also carries detailed scribe provisions for Divyang candidates in paragraphs 3 to 8, so candidates who claimed a scribe should read those paragraphs in full before the exam.

The notice tells candidates to follow the instructions printed on the admit card. That line does more work than it looks. The card itself carries the reporting time, the centre address and the exam day rules, and those details override anything you read elsewhere.

29 November, two papers, 18 towns

The UKPSC PCS Prelims 2026 runs on 29 November 2026, a Sunday, in two sessions on the same day. General Studies runs from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon under code 98. The General Aptitude Test runs from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM under code 99. Both papers are objective, and both count toward shortlisting for the mains.

The exam runs in 18 towns across all districts of Uttarakhand. The exact centre is printed on your admit card, and since centre changes are not allowed, the town you are allotted is the town you travel to. Check the centre the day you download the card, not the night before the exam. If the centre is in another town, sort out travel and stay while there is still time.

How to download the admit card

Open psc.uk.gov.in and go to the Admit Card section. Find the link for the Uttarakhand Combined State Civil/Upper Subordinate Services (Preliminary) Examination 2026. The link takes you to pscuk.net.in, where you log in with your registration number and password. Download the admit card PDF, save a copy on your phone, and print at least two copies.

Print on clean white paper, and check that the photograph and signature are clear on the printout. A faded print can cause trouble at the gate even when the details are right. Keep one copy at home and carry the other to the centre with an original photo identity proof.

If the link is not visible when you first open the portal, do not assume the admit card is delayed. The notice fixes the release on 13 November, and the portal entry can appear later in the day. Check again after some time, and check only on the Commission website.

The Lower PCS exam, a separate recruitment with 54 posts, has its own form window closing on 26 November, so do not confuse the two recruitments when you look for your link. You can read the UKPSC Lower PCS Recruitment 2026 post for that exam. Other hall tickets live this week are listed on the site's latest admit cards page.

Check this the moment you download it

Read every line on the card before you put it away. Your name and photograph should match your application. The exam date should read 29 November 2026, with General Studies in the morning session and the General Aptitude Test in the afternoon. The centre name and address should be complete, and the reporting time should be clear.

If anything is wrong, contact the Commission at once through the contact details on psc.uk.gov.in. A wrong photograph, a misspelt name or a wrong date of birth can keep you out of the centre, and the correction has to come from the Commission, not from the staff at the gate. Do not wait till the exam day to raise it.

The scribe rules deserve the same attention. If you claimed a scribe, the notice sets out the conditions in paragraphs 3 to 8, including the certificates and documents in the prescribed format. Read them now, while there is time to arrange the paperwork.

What comes after the prelims

The prelims only decides who writes the mains. The mains and the interview decide the final selection. With 67 posts on offer, the prelims is a filter, not the finish line, so a safe score that clears the cut is enough, and the real contest starts after it.

Use the days left for revision rather than new topics. The two papers test General Studies and aptitude, and the admit card in hand means the schedule is now fixed: 29 November, two sessions, no centre change. Download the card today, check the centre, and plan the travel.
