The Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET 2026) was conducted across the state on July 3 and 4, 2026, with 1,770,714 candidates participating. Following the exam, the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) released the answer key on July 8 and provided a window until July 14 for candidates to submit objections.

Now, the lakhs of candidates who appeared for the exam are eagerly awaiting the results. According to media reports, the UPTET 2026 results could be announced at any time. The results will be declared online via the website upessc.up.gov.in. Once the results are released, candidates will be able to download their scorecards by entering their roll number and date of birth.

**Will the result be released today?**
Various media reports suggest that the UPTET result could be released today. Details regarding the official date and time may be announced soon; however, the Commission has not yet shared any official information.

**Paper 1 and Paper 2 results to be released simultaneously**
The results for UPTET Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be released together. Consequently, candidates who appeared for both papers will be able to check their results as soon as they are declared.

**Result date announcement possible at any time**
The UPESSC could announce the result date at any moment. Candidates are advised to keep a close watch on this page for updates.

**Will currently employed teachers lose their jobs if they fail the TET?**
It is important to note that, following a court order, candidates currently in service will not lose their jobs if they fail to pass the TET this time. Such candidates have been granted time until 2028 to pass the exam. However, if they fail to pass the exam by 2028 and still have more than five years of service remaining, they could face removal or compulsory retirement.

TET Mandatory for Becoming a Teacher
Following a Supreme Court order, passing this exam has been made mandatory to become a teacher in Uttar Pradesh. Additionally, it has been made compulsory for currently employed teachers—who have five or more years of service remaining—to pass either the TET or CTET.

Scorecard to Remain Valid for a Lifetime
Candidates should note that the UP government has now made the UP TET scorecard valid for a lifetime. Previously, its validity was limited to five years; however, once a candidate qualifies for the exam by securing the prescribed cut-off marks, the scorecard will remain valid indefinitely.

No Need to Retake the Exam Once Qualified
Candidates are now required to pass the UP TET exam only once. If a candidate passes the exam, there is no need to appear for it again.

Results to be Released Based on Final Answer Key
The UP TET provisional answer key was released on July 8, and candidates were given until July 14 to submit objections. The Commission has addressed the raised objections, and the results will now be declared based on the final answer key.

Exam Dates
The UP TET exam was conducted across the state at designated centers on July 3 and 4, 2026. A total of 1,770,714 candidates participated in the exam this time.

Paper 1 and Paper 2 Results to be Released Simultaneously
The results for Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be released simultaneously by the UPESSC.

Those who pass Paper 1 are eligible to teach students from Class 1 to Class 5 (primary level) in government primary schools. Those who pass Paper 2 are eligible to teach as subject teachers in schools for Classes 6 to 8 (upper primary level). What are the qualifying marks and percentage based on category?
Candidates belonging to the General category must secure a minimum of 60% marks—that is, 90 out of 150—to pass the exam. Additionally, candidates from the OBC, SC, ST, and EWS categories are required to obtain 55% marks, or 82 out of 150. Scoring below these thresholds means they will not be considered qualified for the exam.

Securing minimum marks is mandatory to pass the exam.
Candidates should note that minimum qualifying marks have been pre-determined for this exam. You will be considered successful only if you achieve the category-specific cutoff marks.
