Full Form of UTC

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

The full form of UTC, Coordinated Universal Time, was chosen as a compromise among English- and French-speaking countries (officially it could have been “CUT” in English or “TUC” in French). It stands as the backbone of world timekeeping, relied upon by computer networks, aviation, maritime schedules, and scientific endeavors. It ensures that all local time zones reference a single, stable baseline. Searches for the full form of UTC often stem from people encountering this abbreviation in system logs, scheduling software, or broadcast data. Clarifying this acronym’s meaning and history helps users grasp the concept of a standardized global clock.
