UPESSC Sets 2026 Teacher Recruitment Calendar, Assistant Professor Exam on April 18–19

The reset follows the government’s cancellation of last year’s compromised test after an STF probe into a leaked question paper.

Overview

  • UPESSC scheduled PGT for May 9–10, TGT for June 3–4, and the UP TET for July 2–4, 2026, alongside the Assistant Professor exam.
  • The commission said all exams will run with strict security and transparency, with admit cards and centre details released on time via its website.
  • The rescheduled Assistant Professor test covers 910 vacancies in government‑aided degree colleges for which over 82,000 candidates had applied.
  • UPESSC noted that a separate notice will outline the schedule for 107 Assistant Professor posts in the BEd subject category.
  • The 2025 Assistant Professor exam was first held April 16–17, moved to September 4, then annulled on January 7, 2026 after STF arrests in the paper‑leak case.
