The Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) is the apex statutory authority in the state of Uttar Pradesh responsible for implementing environmental laws and ensuring pollution control. Established under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, the board functions under the Department of Environment, Government of UP.

The selection process is highly competitive, involving a comprehensive Computer Based Test (CBT) followed by a personal interview to assess the technical expertise and administrative aptitude of the candidates. In a country like India, where environmental sustainability is a top priority under various national missions, this recruitment holds immense importance. It provides a platform for engineers and scientists to contribute directly to the 'Clean India' and 'Pollution Free India' initiatives. Aspiring candidates who wish to secure a stable and impactful government job in Uttar Pradesh should not miss this opportunity. The high pay scale (Level-10) and the chance to work in environmental governance make this one of the most sought-after technical recruitment updates in 2026.
