Mukhya Pariksha 2026 vs PET-2025 — Key Differences Explained
Many aspirants are confused about the difference between PET-2025 and this Mukhya Pariksha. Here is a direct comparison to clarify both stages of selection:
| Parameter | PET-2025 (Preliminary Eligibility Test) | Mukhya Pariksha 2026 (Main Exam) |
|---|---|---|
| Stage | Stage 1 — Preliminary Screening | Stage 2 — Main Written Exam (Final Selection) |
| Purpose | Eligibility screening for all UPSSSC posts | Final selection for Pashudhan Prasar Adhikari 1,251 posts |
| Questions | 100 questions, 100 marks, General subjects | 100 questions, 100 marks — Animal Husbandry + IT + UP GK |
| Duration | 2 hours | 2 hours (120 minutes) |
| Negative Marking | 1/4 mark per wrong answer | 1/4 mark per wrong answer |
| Shortlisting | All PET-2025 applicants | 15x the vacancy (category-wise) from PET-2025 normalised scores |
| Score Used For | Eligibility only (not added to final merit) | Final merit = Mukhya Pariksha marks only |
| Fee | Already paid at PET registration | Rs.25 at Mukhya Pariksha application stage; main exam fee separate (paid before admit card download) |
| Syllabus | General aptitude, Hindi, GK, etc. | Animal Husbandry (65 Qs), Computer & IT (15 Qs), UP State GK (20 Qs) |
| Best For | All UP govt job aspirants | Livestock Extension Diploma holders with Animal Husbandry expertise |
PET-2025 acts only as a gateway — it does NOT contribute to your final merit. Your rank in the Mukhya Pariksha (Main Exam) is what determines selection. Focus all preparation energy on the 100-mark Main Exam paper: Animal Husbandry subject knowledge carries 65 marks, making it the decisive section. Candidates who scored just above the PET cutoff can still crack the final selection if they excel in the Mukhya Pariksha. We recommend prioritising Animal Husbandry syllabus topics, especially Dairy Management, Animal Breeding, and Disease Management — these carry the most questions.
