UP Teacher Recruitment Exam 2025 Postponed – Last-Minute Delay

The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has postponed the written examination for the Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) posts, scheduled on 18–19 November 2025, causing significant uncertainty for applicants.

UPESSC Important Dates

UPESSC Eligibility & Posts

• The test covers TGT posts under UPESSC.
• The recruitment drive aims to fill nearly 3,000 TGT posts.
• Also mentioned: PGT exam postponed multiple times, covering around 2,000 posts.
• The eligibility criteria (qualifying education, minimum percentage, age limit, etc.) remain as announced earlier in the advertisement for the posts.

UPESSC Application & Exam Process

While the process remains unchanged, the postponement affects the timeline:

1. Visit the UPESSC official website.
2. Register and apply for TGT/PGT posts, fill out the form, upload documents and pay the fee (if not yet done).
3. Download the admit card (when released).
4. Appear for the CBT (computer-based test) when dates are announced.
5. Qualified candidates move on to further selection or counselling.

Note: Candidates who have already applied are advised to keep monitoring the website for the updated exam schedule.

UPESSC Additional Update – Key Reasons & Impact

• The notice by the commission stated simply that the exam is postponed and “revised dates will be notified separately”, with no further explanation.
• According to a senior official, the delay is linked to the absence of a regular chairperson of the UPESSC since September, which has slowed down the functioning of the commission.
• Student groups say this is the fifth postponement of the TGT exam and say over 13 lakh candidates for TGT/PGT exams are now in limbo.
• For the candidates: many had prepared and made arrangements for the original dates; last-minute postponement causes stress, travel costs and uncertainty.
