Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Screening Examination | 150 objective MCQs, 450 marks, 2 hours, one-third negative marking |
| 2. Screening Result | Candidates must meet the minimum efficiency standard and qualify as per the standard fixed by UPPSC |
| 3. Interview | 50-mark Personality Test for candidates qualified for interview |
| 4. Document Verification | Original documents are verified as required by the Commission, including at the interview stage |
| 5. Final Merit / Selection | Prepared according to the notified 75:25 Screening Examination–Interview weightage |
This selection is conducted under the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (Direct Recruitment through Screening Examination) Regulations, 2025. Only candidates who qualify the screening examination are entitled to appear for interview.
Minimum Qualifying / Efficiency Standard: SC/ST candidates – 35%; Other categories – 40%. Candidates scoring below the applicable standard are not placed in the merit/select list.
Final Merit Weightage (as stated in the original advertisement): Screening Examination – 75% weightage; Interview – 25% weightage. The revised corrigendum separately states the interview/personality test carries 50 raw marks.
UPTaiyari Clarification: The revised screening examination carries 450 raw marks and the interview carries 50 raw marks. However, the original recruitment notification states that final merit will be determined using 75% weightage for the screening examination and 25% weightage for the interview. Candidates should therefore not treat the final merit simply as a raw total of 450 + 50 marks.
What Has Changed in the Revised Exam Scheme?
The 1 July 2026 corrigendum revises the screening examination scheme that was earlier notified on 8 April 2026. The revised structure is:
- Total Questions: 150
- Question Type: Objective / Multiple Choice
- Total Marks: 450
- Duration: 2 Hours
- Negative Marking: One-third of the marks assigned to the question
- Interview: 50 Marks
- Exam Date: 24 October 2026
What has not changed: UPPSC explicitly states that the syllabus issued through the 8 April 2026 notice remains unchanged. Only the examination scheme, the pattern, question count and marks distribution, has been revised.
UPTaiyari Note: Do not prepare from an older exam-pattern table downloaded before July 2026. The syllabus itself is the same, but the screening test now follows the revised 150-question, 450-mark scheme.
UPPSC Homoeopathic Medical Officer Revised Exam Pattern 2026
| Part | Subject | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part I | General Studies | 50 | 150 |
| Part II | Subject prescribed for Homoeopathic Medical Officer | 100 | 300 |
| Total | — | 150 | 450 |
Total Duration: 2 Hours. Each question carries 3 marks (150 questions × 3 marks = 450 marks). For every wrong answer, one-third of the marks assigned to that question is deducted, since each question carries 3 marks, this works out to approximately 1 mark per incorrect answer. If more than one option is marked, the response is treated as incorrect; a question left unanswered does not attract the same penalty.

Under the original advertisement, candidates must submit the hard copy of their application and supporting certificates after the screening examination or whenever required by UPPSC, within the period specified by the Commission.
