Selection process & exam pattern

The selection process typically includes two major stages:

1. Written Examination (Total: 750 marks)
   • Paper I — General Hindi & Subject Paper — 375 marks
   • Paper II — Subject Paper / General Studies — 375 marks
2. Interview — 100 marks

Final merit will be based on the combined marks of the written exam and interview. Paper contents are highly post-specific: expect technical depth in subject papers and language/teaching-focused items in General Hindi.

Syllabus pointers — how to approach subject papers

Because subject papers are trade-specific, focus on:

• Core engineering textbooks covering fundamentals and applications for your trade (e.g., Thermodynamics, Strength of Materials, Electrical Machines, Control Systems, Fluid Mechanics as applicable).
• Practical lab-based knowledge and test procedures relevant to polytechnic teaching — many questions test applied knowledge rather than pure theory.
• Recent developments and standard codes (IS codes, latest practices) where relevant to the discipline.
• General Hindi: grammar, précis, translation (Hindi↔English), essay writing, comprehension and official language usage in a classroom/administrative context.

12-week preparation plan 

UPPSC Polytechnic Lecturer Recruitment 2025–26: This plan assumes you have foundational knowledge (a degree in the trade). Allocate 3–5 hours daily; increase during the final 6 weeks.

Weeks 1–2: Foundation & notification study

• Read the official notification thoroughly — finalise the post code you will apply for.
• Collect standard textbooks and previous UPPSC technical papers for your trade.
• Create a topic list from the syllabus; mark strong and weak areas.

Weeks 3–6: Core coverage

• Daily: 2–3 chapters of core subject + 30–45 minutes of General Hindi practice.
• Solve end-of-chapter problems and keep concise formula sheets.

Weeks 7–9: Practice & past papers

• Attempt previous years’ UPPSC papers and timed mocks (subject-wise).
• Revise error list and weak topics — convert recurring weak spots into “revision cards”.

Weeks 10–12: Revision & full mocks

• Take at least 4 full-length timed mocks (subject + Hindi sections) and evaluate strictly.
• Polish interview answers: basic self-introduction, subject teaching methodology, lab safety and question-answer clarity.
