The Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Services Selection Board (UPSESSB) is poised to release the exam dates for the highly anticipated UP TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher) and UP PGT (Post Graduate Teacher) recruitment exams for 2024.
This recruitment drive represents a significant opportunity for aspiring teachers across Uttar Pradesh, as it aims to fill 4,163 vacancies. Of these, 3,539 positions are allocated for TGT roles, and 624 positions are set aside for PGT roles, reflecting the state’s commitment to strengthening its educational workforce.
The exams will be conducted offline, utilizing the pen-and-paper method, which remains a familiar format for many candidates. This approach ensures that all applicants can participate in the recruitment process regardless of their digital literacy. The application fees for the exams are structured to accommodate various socio-economic categories. Candidates from the General and OBC categories must pay INR 750, while those from the EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) category need to pay INR 650. The fees are further reduced for candidates in the SC (Scheduled Caste) and ST (Scheduled Tribe) categories, with the fees set at INR 450 and INR 250, respectively. This tiered fee structure ensures that the exams remain accessible to a broad demographic.
Applicants must meet the age eligibility criteria, which allows candidates between 21 and 60 years to apply, providing a broad eligibility window. This wide age range accommodates fresh graduates and experienced professionals seeking to transition into or advance within the teaching profession. The selection process will primarily hinge on the results of a written examination, which will serve as the key determinant of candidates' eligibility for the available posts. This merit-based selection process ensures that the most qualified individuals are selected to educate the next generation.
The pay scales for the recruited teachers are competitive, offering INR 44,900 to INR 1,42,400 per month for TGT positions and INR 47,600 to INR 1,51,100 per month for PGT positions.
