The wait is over for thousands of stenographer aspirants in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission, or UPSSSC, declared the Stenographer Skill Test Result 2026 on 27 October, clearing 1,598 candidates across two recruitment advertisements for the next stage of document verification.
The result covers the Hindi shorthand and Hindi typing proficiency test, a qualifying stage that decides who moves forward even though its marks do not count towards the final merit. Candidates can now check the advertisement-wise roll-number PDFs on the commission website, upsssc.gov.in.
1,598 qualify for 1,557 stenographer posts
The commission released separate results for two advertisements. Under Advertisement No. 13-Exam/2024, which carries 1,224 vacancies, 18,556 candidates were eligible for the skill test, 10,813 appeared, and 1,329 qualified. Under Advertisement No. 09-Exam/2023, which carries 333 vacancies, 3,815 candidates were eligible, 2,179 appeared, and 269 qualified.
Put together, 12,992 candidates took the skill test and 1,598 qualified for 1,557 posts. The gap between qualified candidates and vacancies is narrow, which is why the document verification stage still matters. Qualification in the skill test confirms speed and accuracy standards, not a final appointment.
The skill test was held from 5 to 16 September 2026. Candidates were tested on Hindi shorthand dictation at 80 words per minute along with Hindi typing at 25 words per minute, the standard benchmarks for the stenographer post in Uttar Pradesh government departments.
How to check the UPSSSC Stenographer Result 2026
The result has been published as roll-number PDFs, one for each advertisement. Candidates should check only the official UPSSSC website and avoid unofficial links or forwarded PDFs that may be incomplete or outdated.
- Visit the official website, upsssc.gov.in.
- Open the Results or Notice Board section on the homepage.
- Find the notice for the Hindi Shorthand and Hindi Typing Skill Test Result for the Stenographer Mains Exam.
- Open the PDF for your advertisement, 09-Exam/2023 or 13-Exam/2024.
- Search for your roll number with Ctrl+F on a computer or Find in page on a phone.
- Download and save the PDF, and keep a copy with your application records.
If your roll number is in the list, you have cleared the skill test stage. If it is not there, the commission has not shortlisted you for document verification under that advertisement. Candidates who applied under both advertisements should check both PDFs separately.
What happens next: document verification
Qualified candidates will now move to document uploading and eligibility verification. The commission has said the schedule for this stage will be announced separately, so candidates should watch upsssc.gov.in and not rely on social media posts for dates.
Final selection will depend on marks in the mains written examination, successful document verification and medical fitness, as set out in the recruitment rules. The skill test itself is qualifying in nature, which means it opens the door to the next stage without adding marks to the final merit list.
Candidates should start gathering their documents now rather than waiting for the verification dates. Keep original certificates ready, along with self-attested photocopies, and check that names, dates of birth and category details match across documents.
Why this result matters for UP government jobs
Stenographer posts sit at the heart of day-to-day government working in Uttar Pradesh, from district offices to state departments. The shorthand and typing test is deliberately demanding because the job itself is: taking dictation accurately at speed, then turning it into clean typed notes without delay.
That is also why the numbers tell a clear story. Of the 18,556 candidates eligible under the larger advertisement, only 10,813 appeared, and only 1,329 cleared the speed test. The pass rate reflects how specialised the skill is.
