Merit Preparation

The written examination score will be used for preparing merit. Where the examination is held in multiple shifts, UPESSC will apply its prescribed normalization procedure before preparing the result.

Tie-Breaking

If candidates secure equal merit, graduation percentage will be considered first. If the tie remains, marks in the prescribed teacher-training qualification will be compared. Where all these remain equal, the older candidate will receive preference in the merit order.

Document Verification

After the written examination, candidates shortlisted on merit will be called for document verification. At this stage, the Commission will verify the qualification, teacher-training certificate, TET certificate, age, category and other claims made in the online form.

Final Selection

Final selection will depend on the written examination merit and successful verification of the candidate's eligibility and documents. Merely appearing in the written examination does not establish eligibility for appointment.
