Nearly 17.7 lakh candidates are waiting for the UPTET Result 2026, and the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has still not announced an official date. The scorecard, once released, will be available on the official website upessc.up.gov.in for both Paper 1 and Paper 2.
Latest UPTET Result 2026 update
UPESSC held a meeting on August 25, 2026, in which several recruitment and examination matters were reportedly discussed, including the possible timeline for the UPTET 2026 result. However, the full agenda has not been made public, and no confirmed result date has been issued so far. Candidates are advised to rely only on the official UPESSC website and ignore unverified result dates circulating on social media.

UPTET 2026 qualifying marks
The exam is held out of 150 marks. General category candidates must score at least 60 per cent (90 marks) to qualify. Candidates from OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwD and ex-servicemen categories need 55 per cent, which works out to 82.5 marks. The final qualifying status shown by UPESSC on the scorecard should be treated as authoritative.

Paper 1, Paper 2 and certificate validity
Paper 1 is for candidates seeking eligibility to teach at the primary level (Classes 1 to 5), while Paper 2 is for the upper-primary level (Classes 6 to 8). Candidates who qualify receive the UPTET Eligibility Certificate, which carries lifetime validity. Qualifying the test does not guarantee a teaching job — candidates must still meet the criteria of the specific recruitment they apply for.
Candidates should keep their registration number, roll number, date of birth and login details ready so they can check the result quickly once UPESSC activates the link. For now, the safest source of information remains the official UPESSC portal.
