The registration process for the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET) 2026 concludes today, May 3, 2026. Candidates interested in applying must do so through the official website, upessc.up.gov.in, and must first complete the One Time Registration (OTR) process to obtain a unique OTR ID necessary for the application. The application period began on March 27, 2026, and was extended due to server-related issues that affected the OTR process. The UPTET is crucial for individuals seeking teaching positions in government and aided schools in Uttar Pradesh. Eligibility criteria vary: for primary level (Classes 1 to 5), candidates need a Senior Secondary education with at least 50% marks and a Diploma in Elementary Education; for upper primary level (Classes 6 to 8), a graduation degree with the same percentage and a Diploma or Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) is required. The UPTET 2026 examination is set for July 2, 3, and 4, 2026.
