The UPSSSC Rajyasva Lekhpal (Revenue Officer) examination is one of the most culturally significant and highly desired state-level government jobs in Uttar Pradesh. Functioning under the Board of Revenue, Uttar Pradesh, a Lekhpal acts as the crucial grassroots administrative link between the rural populace and the state government. Their responsibilities are immense and deeply respected at the village level: maintaining village land records (Khasra and Khatauni), conducting agricultural and crop surveys, reporting natural disasters, assisting in revenue collection, and verifying eligibility for various state and central government rural schemes. Because this role carries substantial local authority, immense job security, and home-district posting opportunities, the competition is extraordinarily intense.
It is absolutely vital for candidates to understand that this is a "Mains" examination. Only candidates who have successfully appeared for the UPSSSC Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) and secured a high percentile are shortlisted and permitted to fill out the Lekhpal mains application form. The Lekhpal exam is traditionally an offline, OMR-based test comprising 100 objective-type questions to be solved in 120 minutes. The paper is symmetrically divided into four sections of 25 questions each: General Hindi, Mathematics, General Knowledge, and uniquely, "Gram Samaj aur Vikas" (Rural Development and Rural Society).
This fourth section—Rural Development—is the ultimate rank-decider. It tests deep knowledge of UP’s agricultural infrastructure, land measurement metrics (Bigha, Biswa), central and state rural welfare schemes, and panchayati raj administration. Each correct answer awards 1 mark, with a negative marking of 0.25 (1/4th) for every incorrect answer. Following the abolition of interviews for Group C posts in UP, the final merit list and district allocation are determined 100% by the marks secured in this 100-mark written examination. For 12th-pass candidates holding a stellar PET score, becoming a Lekhpal offers a lifetime of administrative stability, deep social respect, and a structured promotion path up to Kanungo (Revenue Inspector) and eventually Naib Tehsildar.
