UP TET 2025 exam postponed due to administrative reasons, says board

The Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UP TET 2025), which was scheduled to be held on January 29 and 30, has been postponed. The decision was taken during the first meeting of the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPSESSB), chaired by the newly appointed chairman and former Director General of Police (DGP), Prashant Kumar.

As per the officials, the exam has been postponed due to administrative and technical reasons. The new dates for the UPTET 2025 exam will be announced soon, says the board. However, the UPSESSB board has postponed the UP TET exam several times to a later date.

“It was decided that a comprehensive schedule for all pending examinations, including the Uttar Pradesh Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT), Post Graduate Teacher (PGT), and TET exams, would be prepared after reviewing the examination schedules of other commissions and institutions,” the board added.

This postponement is a major setback for more than 15 lakh candidates across the state who had been preparing for several months. Notably, the UP TET was last conducted on January 23, 2022, and candidates have been waiting for almost four years for this exam to be conducted again.

"Prashant Kumar assumed office as chairman on December 19, and his term will be for three years. Meanwhile, the other commission members have one year remaining in their term. Conducting the long-pending examinations in a timely and transparent manner is one of the major challenges facing the new leadership," the official board stated.
