The senior post — Assistant Agriculture Officer Varg-1 (Gazetted, Vikas Shakha) — comes with a Pay Level-7 salary of ₹44,900 to ₹1,42,400, which translates to roughly ₹65,000–₹75,000 per month in-hand after allowances.

💡 Expert Tip
Two critical things candidates miss with UKSSSC applications: First, your name and date of birth in the online form MUST exactly match your High School certificate — even a single character mismatch can cause your admit card to be rejected, and corrections are not allowed after the last date. Second, note that the exam carries 1/4th negative marking — for every 4 wrong answers, you lose 1 mark. At 100 marks total, attempting all 100 questions blindly is a losing strategy. Candidates who scored in PCS Agriculture exams recommend attempting only those questions where you are at least 70% confident. Also, submit your application at least 3 days before 21 June 2026 — the portal experiences heavy traffic in the final 48 hours and payment failures are common.
