Candidates awaiting the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UP TET) may soon receive long-awaited clarity regarding the examination schedule. The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) is expected to release its recruitment and examination calendar for the new year, possibly in the first week of January. This announcement is being keenly awaited, especially by aspirants who have been waiting for the UP TET examination for nearly four years.
UPPSC Exam Calendar to Outline Major Recruitments
According to sources, UPPSC is in the final stages of preparing the 2026 examination calendar, which will include schedules for multiple competitive exams and recruitment processes. The calendar is likely to serve as a roadmap for examinations to be conducted throughout the year and is expected to bring major updates for teaching and administrative posts in Uttar Pradesh.
For UP TET aspirants, this calendar could bring the biggest relief, as the revised examination dates are expected to be announced after the exam was recently postponed.
UP TET Exam Was Recently Postponed
The UP TET examination was earlier scheduled to be held on 29 and 30 January 2026 . However, during the first official meeting of the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission under its new Chairman, Prashant Kumar , a former Director General of Police (DGP) of Uttar Pradesh, the decision was taken to defer the examination.
At that time, it was clarified that the revised dates for UP TET would be announced through the upcoming examination calendar. The postponement disappointed many candidates, but the assurance of a fresh schedule has renewed hopes among aspirants.
Four-Year Gap Raises Expectations
The significance of the upcoming announcement is heightened by the fact that the UP TET examination has not been conducted for the last four years. Lakhs of candidates aspiring to become teachers in government schools across Uttar Pradesh depend on the TET qualification, making this examination crucial for their careers.
Other Exams Likely to Be Included
Apart from UP TET, the new UPPSC calendar is also expected to include examination dates for several other major recruitments, such as:
-
Provincial Civil Services (PCS)
-
Review Officer / Assistant Review Officer (RO/ARO)
-
Block Education Officer (BEO)
In the previous year, UPPSC had announced dates for around 21 different recruitments through its calendar, and a similar scale is expected this year as well.
Challenges Before the Commission
One of the biggest challenges before the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission is to ensure timely completion of examinations while preventing malpractice and irregularities. Delays and cancellations of exams in the past have often led to frustration and protests among youth.
With a former senior police officer now leading the commission, expectations are high that strict administrative measures, better security, and transparent processes will be implemented to restore confidence among candidates.
What Candidates Should Do
Aspirants are advised to regularly check the official UPPSC website for updates and continue their preparation, as the release of the examination calendar could happen anytime. The upcoming announcement is
