Yes, anyone with a positive score can apply and pay the ₹25 fee. However, whether you are called for the Mains exam depends entirely on the cutoff declared later by UPSSSC.
Can candidates from other states (like Bihar, MP) apply?
Yes, candidates from other states can apply provided they have the UPSSSC PET scorecard. However, they will be treated as Unreserved (General) category candidates and will not get any reservation benefits.
