The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has rescheduled the GIC Lecturer 2025 preliminary exam once again. The test, which falls under advertisement number A-6/E-1/2025, will now take place on June 14, 2026.
This marks the second time the exam date has changed. The commission first scheduled it for June 3, then moved it to June 7 due to unavoidable reasons. Now, they have pushed it to June 14 to avoid a clash with the UP Police Constable recruitment exam.
Why Did UPPSC Change the Date?
The commission made this decision because the UP Reserved Civil Police recruitment 2025 written exam is scheduled from June 8 to 10, 2026. To prevent any overlap and give candidates appearing for both exams enough breathing room, UPPSC moved the lecturer exam to June 14.
This kind of rescheduling happens more often than you might think. When multiple large-scale exams occur around the same time, state commissions juggle dates to ensure smooth operations and fair opportunities for all candidates.
Exam Format and Pattern
The UPPSC GIC Lecturer preliminary exam will be conducted offline in OMR mode. You will face 120 questions worth 300 marks, and you will have 2 hours to complete the paper.
Here's what you need to know about the scoring:
- Each correct answer earns you marks
- Each wrong answer results in negative marking of one-third of the allotted marks
- So choose your answers carefully
The paper tests your knowledge across various subjects related to the lecturer position you are applying for. Make sure you brush up on your subject fundamentals and practice previous year papers.
Admit Card Details
UPPSC will release the admit cards for the GIC Lecturer 2025 exam at the right time. You will need your application number and password to download your hall ticket from the official website.

Selection Process Explained
