UPSSSC PET OTR 2026: Registration Mandatory

Candidates must complete One Time Registration (OTR) before filling out the PET 2026 application form. The OTR system allows applicants to submit their basic personal and educational information once, which can then be used for subsequent UPSSSC recruitment applications.

Existing candidates can log in using their OTR number or registered mobile number and verify their account through OTP. Candidates should carefully check the information available in their OTR profile and make necessary corrections before submitting the PET application.

For fresh OTR registrants, details can generally be edited except the registered mobile number. Previous PET registrants have certain restrictions on editing details such as name, date of birth and mobile number.

Once the PET application is submitted and the registration number is generated, the OTR details or PET application cannot be changed.
