UP Special TET 2026 – Primary & Upper Primary Teacher Eligibility Test
Latest Update: Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has opened applications for UP Special Teacher Eligibility Test 2026 under Advertisement No. 03/UPTET/2026. Current recruitment information shows that applications started on 5 September 2026 and the last date for application and fee payment is 4 October 2026. The correction deadline is 8 October 2026, and the Special TET examination is currently scheduled for 3 November 2026.
What is UP Special TET?
This is a teacher eligibility examination, not a notification for a fixed number of direct teacher vacancies. Qualifying the examination establishes eligibility according to the applicable rules; it does not by itself guarantee appointment. Candidates should distinguish the TET certificate/eligibility process from a later teacher-recruitment selection.
Levels
- Primary Level: for the notified primary-teaching eligibility.
- Upper Primary Level: for the notified upper-primary teaching eligibility.
A candidate wishing to appear for both levels must satisfy the educational/teacher-training requirements prescribed for each level and follow the fee/application instructions applicable to both papers.
Educational Qualification
Eligibility is governed by UPESSC/NCTE rules and differs between Primary and Upper Primary levels. Candidates may need the prescribed Senior Secondary/Graduation combination with recognised teacher-training qualifications such as D.El.Ed, B.El.Ed, B.Ed or another qualification specifically accepted under the notification. Candidates should not assume that every B.Ed/D.El.Ed holder is automatically eligible for both levels; the exact percentage, degree, training and category provisions in Advertisement 03/UPTET/2026 are decisive.
Age Limit
Current recruitment information does not specify a conventional minimum age and reports a maximum age of 60 years as on 3 November 2026. Candidates should verify the exact age/eligibility provision in the official notification, particularly where service status or special categories are involved.
Application Fee
Current recruitment information reports a per-level fee of ₹1,000 for General/OBC/EWS, ₹500 for SC/ST and ₹300 for PwD candidates. Candidates appearing in both levels should verify the combined payable amount shown by the official portal before payment.
Exam Pattern
Current information describes each paper as containing 150 multiple-choice questions for 150 marks, with a duration of approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. It reports no negative marking. Candidates should use the latest UPESSC syllabus and official examination instructions for section-wise distribution and qualifying rules.
