UPESSC UP PGT Teacher Online Form 2026 for 2607 Post

UPESSC UP PGT Teacher Online Form 2026 for 2607 Post — a certificate verification schedule — is summarised below. The key figures are 2,607 vacancies, an application window closing 17 October 2026, and a fee of ₹1,500 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Teaching recruitment normally requires the subject qualification plus a valid TET or CTET score where the notification specifies it. Certificates are verified strictly against the subject and level applied for, so confirm your TET subject matches the post.

Applications open on 18 September 2026 and close on 17 October 2026, giving candidates 30 days to complete the process. The 30-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. A correction window is listed (21/10/2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for 15-16 December 2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

2,607 posts are advertised in this notification. At this scale the selection is normally decided on a single written or computer-based paper plus verification, with cut-offs set by category. Category-wise distribution, where the notification provides it, is shown in the vacancy table further down this page — check the count against your own category rather than the overall total, since reserved-category cut-offs and competition ratios differ substantially from the unreserved ones.

The upper age limit for unreserved candidates is 62 years. On qualifications, the notification states: 585 — 201 — 516 — 2329 — Master Degree with Related Subject. For Subject Wise Eligibility Read the Notification. For Subject Wise Eligibility Details Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹500 and ₹1,500, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and UPI. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
