Once you’ve submitted a UPSRTC recruitment application, the real question becomes: what happens next? UPSRTC’s recent conductor recruitment cycles (450+ posts across districts like Gorakhpur, Lucknow and Prayagraj) skip a written examination entirely — selection runs purely on a merit list based on your 10+2 marks, followed by a medical examination and document verification. This guide walks through each of those post-application stages in detail, plus exactly how and where to check your merit list and result once it’s out.
Quick Facts

How the UPSRTC Merit List Is Prepared
Because most recent UPSRTC non-technical recruitment (such as conductor posts) does not include a written examination, your rank is decided almost entirely by your 10+2 (Intermediate) marks, applied district-wise and category-wise:
- District-wise ranking: Since posts are allocated per district (for example, a 2026 cycle listing 54 posts for Gorakhpur and 50 for Lucknow), your merit is calculated separately within your chosen district rather than against the entire state’s applicant pool.
- Category-wise reservation: Merit lists are further split by category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS) in line with UP’s reservation policy, so your effective competition is against candidates within your own category and district.
- Tie-breaking: Where two candidates have identical marks, UPSRTC typically applies a tie-breaker based on age (older candidates ranked higher) or date of application submission — always confirm the specific rule in your notification’s selection-criteria clause.
Because there is no exam to “prepare” for in the traditional sense, the single biggest factor within your control at this stage is making sure your submitted marks and category details are entered correctly — a data-entry mismatch is one of the most common reasons candidates get excluded from a merit list despite otherwise qualifying.
What Happens at the Medical Examination
Shortlisted candidates are called for a medical fitness check before document verification. While the exact standard varies by post and notification, UPSRTC’s medical examination for conductor and driver posts generally checks:
- General physical fitness for duty involving long working hours and travel
- Vision standards (particularly important for driver posts)
- Absence of conditions that would materially affect public transport duty
Driver posts carry a stricter medical bar than conductor posts, in line with the additional responsibility of vehicle operation. Candidates found medically unfit at this stage are typically removed from the merit list and, depending on vacancy availability, replaced by the next-ranked candidate on the waiting list.
Document Verification: What to Carry
| Original + photocopy | 10th and 12th mark sheets/certificates |
| Category certificate | Original SC/ST/OBC/EWS certificate, where applicable |
| CCC certificate | Original computer course certificate |
| Identity proof | Aadhaar card or other government photo ID |
| Application acknowledgement | Printed copy of your submitted application/confirmation slip |
| Photographs | Additional passport-size photographs, as specified in your verification call letter |
Document verification is usually held at a designated regional office or depot on a scheduled date communicated through your registered mobile number/email — missing this appointment without prior communication can cost you your place on the merit list, so treat the call letter date as fixed.
How to Check Your UPSRTC Result or Merit List
- Visit sewayojan.up.nic.in or the recruitment/notice section on upsrtc.com — merit lists and results are published there first, not on third-party job portals.
- Look for a notice matching your specific recruitment cycle (e.g., “Conductor Recruitment 2026 – District Merit List”).
- Merit lists are usually published as district-wise PDF documents — download the PDF for your applied district and search for your application/roll number.
- If your name appears, note the subsequent call-letter date for medical examination or document verification, which is typically published alongside or shortly after the merit list.
- Keep checking the same notice section periodically — UPSRTC does not always send an individual SMS/email for every stage, and it’s the candidate’s responsibility to track the portal.
If You’re Not on the Merit List
Not appearing on the first merit list doesn’t always mean rejection outright. UPSRTC (like most state recruiters) often maintains a waiting list to fill seats vacated by candidates who fail the medical exam, don’t clear document verification, or decline to join. If you believe there’s a genuine error in how your marks or category were recorded, you can typically raise it through the grievance/RTI channel rather than the general customer-care helpline, since merit-list disputes are handled by the recruitment cell specifically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does UPSRTC conduct a written exam for conductor recruitment?
No. Recent UPSRTC conductor recruitment cycles (including the 2026 drive) select candidates through a merit list based on 10+2 marks rather than a written examination.
How is the UPSRTC merit list calculated?
The merit list is prepared separately for each district and category using candidates’ 10+2 (Intermediate) marks. Where marks are tied, UPSRTC typically applies a tie-breaker based on age or date of application.
Where can I check my UPSRTC recruitment result?
Results and merit lists are published on sewayojan.up.nic.in and the recruitment/notice section of upsrtc.com — typically as downloadable, district-wise PDF lists rather than an individual lookup tool.
What happens after my name appears on the UPSRTC merit list?
You’ll receive a call letter for a medical examination, followed by document verification. Candidates who clear both stages are issued a joining letter.
What documents are needed for UPSRTC document verification?
You’ll need original documents plus photocopies of your 10th and 12th mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), CCC certificate, a government photo ID, and your printed application acknowledgement slip.
Is there a waiting list if I miss the first UPSRTC merit list?
Yes. UPSRTC typically maintains a waiting list, since some candidates on the initial merit list are removed after failing the medical exam or not completing document verification, opening seats for the next-ranked candidates.
