With the initial form submission closing on November 4, the commission has activated a dedicated digital modification facility allowing applicants to correct discrepancies, spelling errors, or inaccurate category selections in their submitted records. The correction window remains operational on the commission's official portal at upessc.up.gov.in until November 7, 2026, offering candidates an essential final opportunity to review and synchronize their profiles ahead of scrutiny and examination scheduling.
Vacancy Breakdown: 11,508 Urban Primary Posts and 897 Aided School Openings
The recruitment drive marks one of the most substantial basic education hiring rounds in Uttar Pradesh, targeting 12,405 sanctioned positions across government and aided institutions. Out of the gross vacancy count, 11,508 positions are designated specifically for Assistant Teacher Primary roles across urban municipal schools. The remaining 897 vacancies are earmarked for Assistant Teachers in non-government aided primary institutions throughout the state. To qualify, applicants must hold a recognized graduate degree accompanied by professional teaching diplomas such as D.El.Ed., B.T.C., or B.El.Ed., alongside mandatory qualification in either the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET) or Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) Paper-1. The standard age bracket for municipal urban posts spans between 21 and 40 years with permissible statutory age relaxations for reserved categories, while the maximum age limit extends up to 62 years for eligible applicants in recognized aided institutions.
How to Edit Application Details on upessc.up.gov.in Before November 7 Deadline
Candidates wishing to utilize the correction facility must log in to the official state portal at upessc.up.gov.in and navigate to the dedicated Assistant Teacher Recruitment portal. Users can sign in using their previously generated One-Time Registration (OTR) credentials and registered credentials to review editable fields, rectify academic marks, update photo signatures, or verify demographic information before saving changes. Commission authorities have emphasized that the application fee structure—fixed at ₹1,000 for General, OBC, and EWS candidates, ₹500 for SC and ST applicants, and ₹300 for Divyang (PH) candidates—remains non-refundable, and any failure to rectify erroneous application records before the November 7 midnight deadline could result in outright rejection during subsequent verification stages.
