Uttar Pradesh UPESSC Assistant Teacher (Trained Graduate Teacher – TGT) Recruitment 2026 – Apply Online for 17,735 Posts

Candidates applying for UP TGT Recruitment 2026 must possess the educational and professional qualifications prescribed for their selected subject.

2. B.Ed. from an NCTE-recognised institution.

3. A qualifying Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for the upper-primary level (Classes 6 to 8), conducted by the Government of Uttar Pradesh or the Government of India, as specified in the notification.
