UPTET 2026 Results Declared, Over 13.3 Lakh Candidates Qualify
UPESSC has announced the results of the UPTET 2026 teacher eligibility test.
The test helps people qualify to teach younger and older primary-school classes.
For Classes 1 to 5, about 5.71 lakh candidates passed.
For Classes 6 to 8, about 7.59 lakh candidates passed.
The exam took place over three days in five shifts.
It was held at 955 centres in 60 districts of Uttar Pradesh.
Because different shifts were used, the commission compared results through a normalisation process.
Candidates can check and download their scorecards from the official websites.

At the primary level, 5,71,435 of 7,13,648 candidates qualified, a rate of 80.07%.
