UP TGT Exam Postponed: Admit Card Release Date Awaited

Regarding the exam pattern, the TGT exam will consist of 125 questions carrying a total of 500 marks. Candidates will be given 2 hours to complete the exam.

The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission has revised the exam dates for the TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher) recruitment examination. Initially scheduled for 14th and 15th May, the exam has been postponed to 21st and 22nd July. The Commission's Examination Controller, Shri Devendra Pratap Singh, has issued a notification to this effect. The PGT (Post Graduate Teacher) recruitment examination will remain as scheduled, on 18th and 19th June.

Reason for UP TGT Exam Date Postponement

While the commission hasn't explicitly stated the reason for the postponement, media reports suggest the high number of applicants is causing delays in exam arrangements. Establishing sufficient exam centres, given the stringent regulations, also presents a challenge. It is noteworthy that the notification for recruitment to a total of 4163 TGT and PGT posts was released in 2022, with the application process concluding in August of the same year. Candidates have been awaiting the exam for a considerable period, nearing three years.
