UKSSSC PA & Stenographer Recruitment 2026 — 101 Posts, Apply Online by 14 Oct (Uttarakhand)

The Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) has released Advertisement No. 81/UOSSC/CHA/2026, dated 8 September 2026, for direct recruitment to 101 Group "C" government job vacancies across Personal Assistant, Stenographer, Stenographer Grade-3, and Stenographer Grade-2 posts spread across 19 department combinations in Uttarakhand — including the Commercial Tax Tribunal, Industrial Tribunal & Labour Court, Uttarakhand Forest Development Corporation, Power Transmission Corporation of Uttarakhand, Commissioner Kumaon Division, and the Housing Department across multiple District Development Authorities. Selected candidates will be posted at the specific department corresponding to the post applied for — from 2 posts at the Commercial Tax Tribunal to 22 posts across the Housing Department's various District Development Authorities. Candidates who have passed Intermediate (12th) or hold a relevant degree, meeting the shorthand/typing speed prescribed for each post (ranging from 80 wpm Hindi shorthand for most Personal Assistant posts to 60-80 wpm in both English and Hindi for Stenographer posts), are eligible to apply. The selection process for UKSSSC PA & Stenographer Recruitment 2026 consists of a 100-mark, 2-hour written objective examination, followed by a qualifying typing and shorthand/dictation test for candidates shortlisted at 4 times the number of vacancies; the typing/shorthand stage does not count toward final merit. Pay ranges from Level-04 (₹25,500–₹81,100) up to Level-07 (₹44,900–₹1,42,400) depending on the specific post. The UKSSSC PA & Stenographer 2026 online application is available at sssc.uk.gov.in. The application window is open from 14 September 2026 to 14 October 2026, with a correction window from 17 to 19 October 2026. The tentative written examination date is 20 December 2026. Application fee is ₹300 for Unreserved/OBC candidates and ₹150 for SC/ST/EWS/PwBD candidates, with Orphan candidates exempted. Candidates must read the complete official notification carefully before applying, and should note a documented inconsistency in the source notification — the section heading for a block of 57 Personal Assistant-titled rows reads "Junior Assistant" (कनिष्ठ सहायक), though every individual row lists "Personal Assistant" as the post name; candidates should verify the exact post code and department directly against the official PDF.
