What is UP Super-TET and how is it different from UPTET?

Uttar Pradesh runs a two-stage teacher hiring model unique to the state.

Stage 1 — UPTET: Once-a-year eligibility test conducted by UPBEB (upbasiceduboard.gov.in). Similar to CTET, it certifies you as eligible to teach — but it does not offer a job.

Stage 2 — UP Assistant Teacher Recruitment Test ("Super-TET"): Conducted only when there are actual Assistant Teacher vacancies in UP government primary/upper-primary schools. Only UPTET-qualified candidates can appear.

Super-TET structure:

• 150 objective questions, 2.5 hours
• Sections: Language (40), Science & Maths (30), Environmental Studies (10), General Studies + Current Affairs (30), Logical Reasoning (5), Info Tech + Life Skills (15), Teaching Aptitude (10), CBM (10)
• Merit list = 70% Super-TET + 10% Class 10 + 10% Class 12 + 10% graduation

Pay: Level 7 of 7th CPC — basic ₹44,900, in-hand ₹58,000–₹65,000 with UP allowances.

The last major cycle was the 69,000 Assistant Teacher recruitment. Watch upbasiceduboard.gov.in and updeled.gov.in for the next notification.
