UPSC EPFO Previous Year Question Papers

Every EPFO recruitment-test paper the Union Public Service Commission has published, 2016–2025 — 6 sittings across both posts, with all 1,330 questions solved and explained, and 12 free question-paper PDFs to print and attempt.

What EPFO's papers are

UPSC recruits for two EPFO posts — Enforcement Officer / Accounts Officer (EO/AO) and Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner (APFC).
Four options, printed (a)–(d); the answer key prints them as A–D.
Two parts: Part A is the English Language section, printed in English only; Part B is printed in हिन्दी and English alike — which is why every हिन्दी edition below is shorter than its English twin, by design.
Subject, total marks and where Part A ends differ by sitting, and are stated per paper below.
From 2025, UPSC set a single Recruitment Test sat for both posts, so that paper appears once and counts for both.

Every figure here is read from the booklet cover and the answer key's own face. We do not publish an exam date for these papers: no source we hold states one, and the date in a UPSC archive filename is the date the file was published.
