Prayagraj: The Uttar Pradesh Education Services Selection Commission (UPESC) has announced the revised dates for the recruitment examinations of trained graduate teachers (TGT) and postgraduate teachers (PGT) in aided secondary schools across the state. As per the new schedule, the PGT exam will be held on October 15 and 16, while the TGT exam is set for December 18 and 19. According to the deputy secretary of the Commission, Shivji Malviya, the dates for the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET) have also been finalised, and the same will be conducted on January 29 and 30, 2026. The commission faces a considerable logistical and administrative challenge, as both TGT and PGT exams were postponed multiple times, raising concerns among lakhs of aspirants. Notably, the application process for these 4,163 teaching posts (3,539 TGT and 624 PGT) was completed as early as July 2022. The TGT exam was initially scheduled for April 4–5, 2025, then shifted to May 14–15, and later to July 20–21, but was postponed yet again. The newly announced dates in December mark the fourth rescheduling of the TGT exam. Similarly, the PGT examination faced three postponements — from April 11–12, then June 20–21, and then again June 18–19, before being pushed to the last week of August. Now, the final dates for the PGT exam have been fixed as October 15 and 16, 2025. In total, 13.19 lakh candidates have applied for both exams, including 8.69 lakh for TGT and 4.50 lakh for PGT. Meanwhile, for aspirants aiming to become assistant teachers in basic education schools, qualifying UPTET is mandatory.
