The Uttar Pradesh Co-operative Institutional Service Board (UPCISB), Lucknow, has published the next-stage schedule for the Combined Co-operative Banking and Technical Services Examination (Special Recruitment) 2026, Advertisement No. A-1 / S.R. / 2026. The UPCISB Special Exam Hindi Type Test for Assistant / Typist candidates is scheduled for 17 November 2026. Interviews for candidates who qualified in the main online examination are scheduled for 19 and 20 November 2026. Candidates should check the relevant notice and match their roll number to the correct post and date. The notices identify District Lucknow but do not state a venue address, reporting time or document list; candidates should use the admit card and its detailed guidelines for those arrangements.
This update concerns candidates called to the next stage, not a new application round. The notices cover interviews for Assistant Engineer (Civil), Manager and Junior Manager posts, and a Hindi Type Test for Assistant / Typist posts. The information below separates confirmed details from items that candidates still need to verify in the official notices and admit-card instructions.
UPCISB Special Exam 2026: Interview and Type Test at a glance
| Detail | Information stated in the notices |
|---|---|
| Recruiting body | Uttar Pradesh Co-operative Institutional Service Board (UPCISB), Lucknow |
| Examination | Combined Co-operative Banking and Technical Services Examination (Special Recruitment) 2026 |
| Advertisement number | A-1 / S.R. / 2026 |
| Interview notice | Dated 5 November 2026 |
| Hindi Type Test notice | Dated 2 November 2026 |
| Assistant / Typist Hindi Type Test | 17 November 2026 (Tuesday) |
| Interviews | 19 November 2026 (Thursday) and 20 November 2026 (Friday) |
| Location stated | District Lucknow; no venue address is stated |
| Admit card and detailed instructions | To follow, as stated in the notices; the board will inform candidates separately through its website |
The schedule is for different groups of candidates, so the date alone is not enough to confirm an individual appointment. Interview candidates need to locate their roll number in the post-wise and date-wise interview notice. Assistant / Typist candidates need to check the separate Type Test notice. A notice mentioning a post or a general date does not confirm that every candidate for that post has the same appointment details; use the roll-number list that applies to you.
When are the UPCISB interviews for Special Exam 2026?
The interview notice, dated 5 November 2026, calls candidates who qualified in the main online examination. It lists roll numbers by post and interview date. The post-wise information below reproduces the vacancy and candidate totals stated in the notice. It is a schedule summary only: candidates must confirm their own roll number and assigned date in the official list.
| Post | Vacancies stated in the notice | Candidates called | Interview date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assistant Engineer (Civil), Category 2, U.P. State Construction Co-operative Federation Ltd., Lucknow | 5 | 17 | 19 November 2026 |
| Manager, Category 1, District Co-operative Bank Ltd. | 7 | 21 | 19 November 2026 |
| Junior Manager, Category 2, District Co-operative Bank Ltd. | 45 | 136 | 80 candidates on 19 November; 56 candidates on 20 November 2026 |
The notice contains roll-number lists for 174 interview candidates across the listed posts. Junior Manager candidates are divided between two dates. If you applied for Junior Manager, check both date-wise lists rather than assuming your interview is on the first date, the second date or the date assigned to another candidate. Use the roll number—not an estimate based on the number of candidates or the post name—to identify your date.
The interview notice states District Lucknow as the location, but it does not include a street address or a reporting time. Do not treat the district reference as a complete venue instruction. The detailed venue and any arrival instructions are to be checked in the admit card or accompanying guidelines when issued. The notice also does not set out a list of documents to carry, so candidates should not treat an unofficial checklist as the board’s requirement.
When is the Hindi Type Test for Assistant / Typist?
The separate Hindi Type Test notice is dated 2 November 2026. It calls 10 candidates for the two Assistant / Typist (Category 3) posts in District Co-operative Banks. According to the notice, these candidates qualified after the online examination held on 8 September 2026. The test is scheduled for Tuesday, 17 November 2026, in District Lucknow.
| Type Test detail | What the notice says |
|---|---|
| Date | 17 November 2026 (Tuesday) |
| Location | District Lucknow; no specific address is provided |
| Posts | Two Assistant / Typist (Category 3) posts in District Co-operative Banks |
| Candidates called | 10 |
| Permitted Hindi fonts | Mangal (Inscript) and Kruti Dev 010 |
| Other fonts | Not accepted for this Hindi Type Test |
For this test, the notice identifies two permitted Hindi font options: Mangal (Inscript) and Kruti Dev 010. It says that other fonts will not be accepted. Candidates should therefore make sure they understand which of the listed options they will use and practise with the relevant layout. This is a practical preparation step based on the font rule; it does not replace any directions that may appear in the admit card.
The notice does not give the test’s exact venue address or reporting time. It also does not include a document checklist or additional test-day instructions. Check the Type Test notice for your roll number, then read the admit-card guidelines in full when available. Do not infer the missing arrangements from the location name or from information intended for another recruitment process.
When will the interview and Type Test admit cards be issued?
The notices state that the admit card and detailed guidelines for the interview and Type Test will be issued two days before the scheduled date. They also say that the board will inform candidates separately through its website. Check the UPCISB website for updates and use the instructions provided for your own stage and date.
The admit card is important because the notices do not supply several practical details candidates may need to plan their visit. In particular, the notices identify District Lucknow but not the venue’s street address; they do not state a reporting time; and they do not list the documents to carry. The detailed guidelines issued with the admit card are the appropriate source for those directions. Until those instructions are available, avoid relying on a guessed venue, assumed arrival time or generic document list.
- Venue: District Lucknow is stated, but no address is included in the notices.
- Reporting time: Not stated in the notices.
- Documents: No required-document list is included in the notices.
- Detailed guidance: The notices say it will be issued with the admit card.
- Updates: The board says it will inform candidates separately through its website.
How to download and check the notices
Use the official UPCISB website to locate the announcements for Advertisement No. A-1 / S.R. / 2026. The website link is provided at the end of this article. The following steps help keep the interview schedule separate from the Type Test schedule and reduce the risk of relying on a list for the wrong stage.
- Open the official UPCISB website and look for updates related to Advertisement No. A-1 / S.R. / 2026.
- Choose the notice relevant to your next stage: the interview notice dated 5 November 2026 or the Assistant / Typist Hindi Type Test notice dated 2 November 2026.
- Open the notice and locate the roll-number list for your post. Check the roll number carefully against the list rather than relying only on a name, post title or schedule summary.
- If you are an interview candidate, confirm the date shown for your roll number. Junior Manager candidates should review both date-wise lists because the notice assigns candidates across 19 and 20 November.
- If you are an Assistant / Typist candidate, verify that your roll number appears in the Type Test list and note the permitted fonts: Mangal (Inscript) or Kruti Dev 010.
- Return to the official website for the admit card and detailed guidelines. Read the instructions for the specific date and stage for which you have been called.
When checking a notice, take care not to confuse this special recruitment with a separate regular combined recruitment. The notices discussed here are for the Combined Co-operative Banking and Technical Services Examination (Special Recruitment) 2026, Advertisement No. A-1 / S.R. / 2026. Confirming the advertisement number helps ensure that you are reading the schedule relevant to this process.
What candidates should do next
Start with the notice and your roll number. A schedule table can help you understand the overall dates, but the official list determines which date applies to an individual candidate. If you are called for an interview, identify the correct post section and then match your roll number to the date-wise list. If you are called for the Type Test, use the separate Type Test notice and review its font requirements. For the UPCISB Special Exam, the individual roll-number list is the key check for confirming your scheduled stage and date.
Next, make a note of the date shown for you and watch the official website for the admit card. The notices say that the card and detailed guidelines are to be issued two days before the scheduled date. Because exact venue, reporting time and document requirements are not stated in the notices, check those points in the instructions issued with your own admit card instead of using a general assumption.
For Type Test preparation, the confirmed font requirement is the key detail currently provided in the notice. Work with one of the stated options, Mangal (Inscript) or Kruti Dev 010, and do not substitute a different font. The notice does not provide further test-format details in the information summarized here, so candidates should avoid treating an assumed duration, passage, speed requirement or scoring method as confirmed unless it appears in official instructions.
For interview candidates, the notice confirms the date allocation and roll-number lists but does not provide interview questions, a format, a duration or a document list. Candidates can organize their next steps by checking the notice, watching for the admit card and following the instructions that the board issues. This article does not add requirements that are absent from the notices.
Exam timeline and recruitment scope
The notices follow the main online examination result dated 30 October 2026. The main examination was held on 7 and 8 September 2026 for interview posts, and on 8 September 2026 for Assistant / Typist candidates, as stated in the notice coverage. The current schedule concerns the next-stage process for candidates called from that examination: interviews for Assistant Engineer (Civil), Manager and Junior Manager, and the Hindi Type Test for Assistant / Typist.
This is a schedule update for candidates already called to a next stage, not a fresh application announcement. The notices do not provide new application dates, eligibility criteria, age limits, application fees or pay details. They also do not announce a later selection stage. Candidates seeking information about those subjects should not assume that it is contained in these schedule notices. Candidates following the UPCISB Special Exam update should rely on the relevant notices and admit-card instructions for the confirmed next steps.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming every Junior Manager candidate has the same interview date: The notice divides candidates between 19 and 20 November. Check your roll number in both date-wise lists.
- Treating District Lucknow as a full venue address: The notices name the district but do not give a street address. Use the admit card or detailed instructions for the exact venue.
- Guessing the reporting time: No reporting time is stated in the notices. Follow the time printed in the instructions issued for you.
- Using an assumed document checklist: The notices do not list documents to carry. Follow the admit-card instructions rather than an unofficial list.
- Using a different Hindi font: The Type Test notice permits Mangal (Inscript) and Kruti Dev 010 and says other fonts are not accepted.
- Checking the wrong notice: The interview and Type Test have separate notices and different dates. Open the notice that matches your post and stage.
- Confusing recruitment processes: This schedule concerns Advertisement No. A-1 / S.R. / 2026, the Special Recruitment 2026 process, not a separate regular combined recruitment.
About the UPCISB recruitment update
The UPCISB Special Exam schedule update covers two kinds of next-stage activity. Candidates listed for Assistant Engineer (Civil), Manager and Junior Manager are called for interviews on 19 or 20 November 2026, depending on the post and roll-number list. Assistant / Typist candidates listed in the separate notice are called for a Hindi Type Test on 17 November 2026. The Type Test notice identifies Mangal (Inscript) and Kruti Dev 010 as the permitted fonts.
The board’s notices provide the dates, post-wise interview information, candidate totals and selected Type Test rules. They do not provide the exact venue address, reporting time or document requirements in the information covered here. Candidates should use the official notices to confirm their inclusion and the admit card for final instructions. This keeps confirmed schedule information distinct from details that have not yet been stated in the notices.
Final takeaway
The Assistant / Typist Hindi Type Test is scheduled for 17 November 2026, and interviews are scheduled for 19 and 20 November. Check the relevant roll-number list, especially if you are a Junior Manager candidate, because that post’s candidates are split across both interview dates. The notices give District Lucknow as the location but do not provide a specific address, reporting time or document list. Check the admit card and its detailed guidelines for those instructions. For the Type Test, the only fonts identified as acceptable are Mangal (Inscript) and Kruti Dev 010.
