UPSSSC Forensic Science Laboratory Recruitment 2026

The UPSSSC Forensic Science Laboratory Recruitment 2026 notification has been officially released for 208 vacancies in the Forensic Science Laboratory under the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC). Eligible candidates who have qualified UPSSSC PET 2025 can apply online within the prescribed dates. This recruitment includes vacancies for Scientific Assistant and Lab Assistant posts. Before submitting the application form, candidates should carefully check the eligibility criteria, age limit, educational qualifications, category-wise vacancies, important dates, application fee, and the complete online application process.

Key Dates at a Glance

Since the exam date itself hasn't been fixed yet, candidates should treat this as a rolling notification — keep checking back rather than assuming a fixed exam month, and don't finalize travel or leave plans until the official exam city and admit card windows open.

Application Fee

This is a notably flat, low fee structure — UPSSSC has kept it uniform across every category, and payment is accepted via UPI, debit card, credit card, or net banking. There's no separate female-candidate concession listed for this particular notice, unlike some other recruitment cycles.

Age Limit (As on 01/07/2026)

The 40-year upper limit is relatively generous for a technical post, which works in favor of candidates who completed their PET qualification a while before this Main exam window opened.

Post-Wise Vacancy & Eligibility

Note the qualification gap between the two main posts: Scientific Assistant requires a postgraduate (M.Sc.) degree, while Lab Assistant only requires a Bachelor's (B.Sc.) — worth double-checking against your own degree level before applying to avoid a rejection at the document-verification stage.

Category-Wise Vacancy Breakdown

The "Special Selection" rows appear reserved specifically for OBC/SC/ST candidates in this cycle — UR and EWS show zero allocation in those rows, which is a detail easy to miss if you're skimming the notification quickly.

How to Apply for UPSSSC FSL Main Exam 2026

1. Confirm your PET 2025 status first. This form is only open to candidates who already qualified UPSSSC PET 2025 — check your PET scorecard before starting.
2. Read the full notification. UPSSSC notices often carry post-specific subject equivalence rules that a summary can't fully capture.
3. Gather your documents. Degree certificates (M.Sc./B.Sc./B.Tech as applicable), PET 2025 result, category certificate, and ID proof.
4. Prepare photo and signature scans as per UPSSSC's specified format and size.
5. Fill the form and select your post carefully — Scientific Assistant and Lab Assistant have different qualification bars, so pick the one matching your actual degree.
6. Pay the ₹25 fee via UPI, card, or net banking.
7. Preview thoroughly before final submission, then print your confirmation page.

Applications can be submitted through the official UPSSSC recruitment portal, and it's worth bookmarking that page directly rather than relying only on aggregator links for updates.

What to Watch For Next

1. Correction window (24 August 2026): This is your only chance to fix category, post preference, or personal-detail errors — after that, the form is locked.
2. Exam date announcement: Since the notice lists this "as per schedule," keep checking UPSSSC's official notice board — the exam date, city, and admit card release will follow separately.
3. Document verification: Given the smaller vacancy count, expect a tighter and more detail-scrutinized DV process than mass-recruitment drives typically have.
