No Candidates Qualify for UPPSC APS 2023 Third-Stage Exam; 331 Vacancies Carried ForwardPreviousNext

The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) announced that no candidate qualified for the third stage of the Additional Private Secretary (APS) Examination 2023. Despite 4,240 candidates appearing in the second-stage Hindi shorthand and typing tests held between June and July 2024, none met the mandatory shorthand speed of 80 words per minute. Consequently, all 331 vacancies remain unfilled and will be carried forward for future recruitment.
