The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has announced a significant shortfall in qualified candidates for the LT Grade (Computer Teacher) Recruitment-2025. Out of 70,496 registered candidates, only 30,515 appeared for the preliminary examination held on April 5 across six districts. Of these, only 682 candidates qualified for the main examination, which is a stark contrast to the 1,056 vacancies available in government secondary schools across Uttar Pradesh. UPPSC Secretary Girijesh Kumar Tyagi noted that many candidates did not achieve the minimum qualifying marks, which prevented even those up to 15 times the number of vacancies from qualifying. This situation mirrors the 2018 recruitment cycle, where only 36 candidates qualified for 1,673 posts, resulting in 1,637 vacancies remaining unfilled due to a lack of eligible BEd-qualified candidates. The results of the preliminary examination have been posted on the UPPSC official website, with further instructions for the main examination to follow for those who qualified.
