Frequently Asked Questions — UPPSC GIC Lecturer
The Preliminary examination has 120 objective questions worth 300 marks in total, attempted in 2 hours: General Studies (40 questions, 100 marks) and the Subject Concerned (80 questions, 200 marks). Both sections carry 2.5 marks per question with 1/3rd negative marking for a wrong answer.
Yes. Each wrong answer in the Preliminary examination costs 1/3rd of the marks allotted to that question — 0.83 marks out of the 2.5 marks a correct answer earns. Unattempted questions are not penalised.
Candidates who clear the Prelims sit the Mains, which is descriptive rather than objective: a General Hindi & Essay paper (100 marks) and a Subject Paper (300 marks). Document verification follows for those who clear Mains.
A Master's degree in the subject you're applying for, plus a B.Ed from a recognised institution. Age must be between 21 and 40 years as on the notified date, with the usual UPPSC relaxations for reserved categories.
You can only apply for the subject in which you hold your Master's degree — there's no separate 'general' lecturer post. Since the Subject Concerned section carries 200 of the 300 Prelims marks, depth in that one subject matters far more than broad general studies coverage.
