Uttarakhand Government Jobs 2026

Uttarakhand's state government recruitment is managed by the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission (UKPSC) and the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC). UKPSC conducts the Uttarakhand Combined State (Upper Subordinate) Services Exam for posts including Deputy Collector, Finance Officer, Block Development Officer, District Probation Officer, and other Group A and B posts. UKPSC also recruits for Assistant Professor, Lecturer Government Inter College (LT Grade), and various departmental heads. The commission is based in Haridwar and serves all 13 districts of Uttarakhand.

UKSSSC handles Group C and D recruitment for posts including Patwari, Lekhpal, Forest Guard, Junior Assistant, Computer Operator, and Statistical Inspector. Uttarakhand Police Recruitment Board recruits Constable (GD), Constable (Driver), Sub-Inspector (Civil Police), and Fireman posts. The Education Department recruits teachers (LT Grade and management posts) through UKPSC. Given Uttarakhand's forest-rich terrain, the Forest Department recruits Forest Guards and Forest Rangers in significant numbers. State enterprises like UPCL (Uttarakhand Power Corporation) and Jal Sansthan recruit engineers and technical staff.

Uttarakhand government employees receive salary under the 7th Pay Commission with state-specific pay scales. The state has a strong tradition of employment in the defence and paramilitary sector — Army (Garhwal Rifles, Kumaon Regiment), ITBP, and BSF recruit heavily from Uttarakhand's hill districts. State employees also benefit from Hill Allowance for postings in remote mountainous areas. Uttarakhand domicile is required for state-level posts, and Hindi is the medium of all state exams. Applications are submitted online through UKPSC at psc.uk.gov.in and UKSSSC at sssc.uk.gov.in.
