Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
- Candidates are generally required to have passed the Intermediate/Class 12 examination with Biology or Agriculture as a relevant subject from a recognised board.

- Applicants may need a valid score from the applicable UPSSSC Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) for shortlisting to the main examination.
- The required qualification must have been obtained by the eligibility cut-off date specified by the commission.
- Candidates should read the official advertisement before applying, as merely holding Class 12 qualification may not be sufficient without the prescribed technical credential.

- The expected upper age limit is 40 years.
- The crucial date for calculating age will be mentioned in the detailed recruitment advertisement.
- Relaxation in the upper age limit will be available to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Class and other eligible candidates under Uttar Pradesh government rules.
Fees
- The category-wise application or processing fee will be confirmed in the detailed notification.

- Payment, where applicable, must be completed through the online facilities provided on the UPSSSC portal.
- Bank charges or payment gateway charges may apply in addition to the prescribed fee.
Selection Process
The recruitment process is expected to include the following stages:
- PET-based shortlisting and written examination: Eligible candidates may first be shortlisted using their valid UPSSSC PET score and then called for the Livestock Extension Officer main written examination.
- Document verification: Shortlisted candidates will have to produce original educational certificates, technical qualification records, category certificates, identity proof and other required documents.
- Medical examination and final merit: Candidates who clear document scrutiny may undergo a medical fitness examination before the final selection list is prepared.
Meeting the minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee selection. Final appointment will depend on performance, verification of claims, reservation rules and availability of vacancies.
