Note on the source document: In the department-wise detailed tables of the official notification, the block covering rows 8–18 above (57 posts in total) is headed "Junior Assistant" (कनिष्ठ सहायक) in the section title, while every individual row inside that table lists the post name as "Personal Assistant." This inconsistency exists in the original notification. Candidates should cross-check the exact post code and department name for their preferred vacancy directly against the official PDF before applying. The 22 posts under the Housing Department (row 19) are further split across district-level Development Authorities including Almora, Bageshwar, Chamoli, Champawat, Mussoorie-Dehradun, Haridwar-Roorkee, Nainital, Pauri, Pithoragarh, Rudraprayag, Tehri, Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarkashi, and the Dehradun Housing & Urban Development Authority.

UKSSSC Personal Assistant & Stenographer Selection Process
Selection is conducted in two stages:
- Written Competitive Examination: An objective-type (multiple-choice) offline exam of 100 marks and 2 hours' duration, covering the syllabus related to the educational qualification of the post. This exam determines the merit list.
- Qualifying Typing and Shorthand/Dictation Test: Based on merit in the written exam, candidates numbering up to 4 times the number of vacancies are shortlisted for a qualifying typing test and shorthand/dictation test. This stage is qualifying in nature only - marks from this stage are not added to the final merit.
Minimum qualifying marks in the written exam are 45% for Unreserved, EWS, and OBC category candidates, and 35% for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe category candidates; candidates scoring below this are treated as not qualified. Each wrong answer attracts a negative mark of one-fourth of the marks allotted to that question, while unattempted questions carry no negative marking. Marking more than one option for a question is treated as a wrong answer. The final merit/selection list is prepared based on written exam marks, subject to qualifying the typing/shorthand stage; in case of a tie, older candidates are placed higher, and if age is also equal, English alphabetical order of name is used as the tie-breaker.
