The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) extends the PET 2026 registration deadline to September 7, 2026. The extension comes after candidates report difficulties completing applications, including problems accessing the UPSSSC website and issues related to OTP (one-time password) verification.

Multiple outlets report that applicants raise complaints about technical glitches and failed or delayed OTP verification while submitting forms. In response, UPSSSC issues a corrigendum/official notice updating the timeline. The outlets also state that, besides the extended registration window, other aspects of the recruitment process—such as application requirements and eligibility conditions—remain unchanged.

While the reports focus on different facets of the disruption—some highlighting website access problems and others emphasizing OTP verification—the overall account is consistent that the commission adjusts the deadline to address the technical issues affecting applicants.
