UKSSSC Scaler Recruitment 2026: Apply Online for 200 Scaler Posts, Check Eligibility

The Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) has opened applications for 200 Scaler posts in the Uttarakhand Van Vikas Nigam. This is a direct recruitment opportunity for eligible candidates who have passed Intermediate with Science or Mathematics and can meet the prescribed physical standards.

The online application process started on 22 September 2026 and eligible candidates can submit their applications up to 22 October 2026. Before applying, candidates should pay particular attention to the physical requirements because the recruitment includes a qualifying Physical Standard Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET) before the written examination.

UKSSSC Scaler Recruitment 2026: At a Glance

CareerAlert24 Insight

This recruitment is more physically demanding than a typical 12th-pass Group-C vacancy. Candidates should not look only at the 200 vacancies and Level-2 salary before applying.

The PET includes a qualifying 25 km race for male candidates and 14 km race for female candidates, both to be completed within four hours. Shot put, long jump and high jump are also part of the qualifying physical test.

Therefore, candidates who meet the educational requirement but cannot comfortably meet the prescribed physical standards should check their suitability before paying the application fee.

Another important point is that the written examination carries the marks used for preparing merit, while the PST/PET is qualifying in nature.
