The UP PCS-J (Civil Judge, Junior Division) 2026 notification is awaited. As of 5 June 2026, UPPSC has not released the official notification — it is issued on the Allahabad High Court's requisition. A widely-reported change is that 3 years of legal practice may now be mandatory for eligibility (aligning with a Supreme Court ruling), but this should be confirmed in the final official notice. The vacancy count has not been notified yet.
UP PCS-J 2026 — When Will the Notification Come?
UPPSC has not announced a date. PCS-J is a high-demand judiciary exam, and the notification is expected once the High Court finalises the requisition and the revised eligibility rules. Do not rely on unofficial "apply now" links or invented dates — the genuine notification will appear at uppsc.up.nic.in. This page will be updated when it is released.

The reported 3-year practice rule
Following a Supreme Court judgment on judicial-service eligibility, several states are moving to require a minimum of 3 years of legal practice to apply for Civil Judge (Junior Division). UP has reportedly approved this change. Until it appears in the official UP PCS-J 2026 notification, treat the exact requirement (and any transitional relaxations) as not final — read the notice carefully when it is published.
UP PCS-J Selection Process
PCS-J selection has three stages: a Preliminary exam (objective, screening), a Mains exam (descriptive, law papers), and an interview/viva. The final merit is based on the Mains and interview. Eligibility is an LLB degree with enrolment as an advocate; the age limit and the new practice requirement will be specified in the notification.
Practical Tips
- Notification isn't out — don't trust unofficial dates or apply links.
- Vacancy is not confirmed — figures circulating (218 vs 250–400) are unverified.
- The 3-year practice rule is reported, not final — confirm in the notice.
- Start Prelims prep early — PCS-J is highly competitive.
