UPSSSC PET 2026 enters its final day with tightened security at centres and special trains arranged for candidates across Uttar Pradesh.
As the UP PET examination security reaches its peak, authorities across Lucknow and other districts have ramped up vigilance for the final day of the tests. The Uttar Pradesh Preliminary Eligibility Test (UP PET) 2026, organized by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC), is concluding its multi-day schedule after being held on October 25, October 30, and November 1, 2026.
Lucknow on High Alert
In Lucknow, the atmosphere remained tense but organized on Sunday as security checks were intensified at various examination centres. The administration ensured that all protocols were strictly followed to maintain the integrity of the examination process as candidates gathered for the final stretch of the PET.
Massive Logistics Operation in Moradabad
The scale of the examination necessitated an enormous logistical effort, particularly in Moradabad. District Magistrate Anunay Jha revealed that the administration had to take extraordinary measures to handle the surge of candidates.
Special Train Arrangements
To prevent chaos at railway stations and ensure candidates reached their centres on time, eight special trains were commissioned in Moradabad. These trains were crucial in managing the heavy rush of aspirants traveling for the exams.
Security Deployment
The security umbrella was expanded to include multiple agencies. Personnel from the local Police, the Government Railway Police (GRP), and the Railway Protection Force (RPF) were stationed at railway hubs. A primary focus was placed on the safety and security of women passengers navigating the crowded stations.
Coordination Across Districts
The coordination between the district administration and the Railways was a key factor in the smooth conduct of the tests. SP City Kumar Ranvijay Singh noted that the three-day examination cycle began with a successful first session.
According to Singh, the authorities had planned well in advance, coordinating with the Railways to provide special transport for candidates heading toward key hubs including:
- Lucknow
- Ayodhya
- Barabanki
To further ease the movement of students, additional special trains were scheduled to operate following the second examination session, which took place between 3 pm and 5 pm, ensuring that candidates could return home or move to their next destination without facing extreme congestion.
