About this notification
After the UPTET-2026 result was declared, many candidates asked the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission to revise it. The Commission set up a six-member committee to examine the representations. In a press release dated 16 September 2026, it sorted them into four groups and gave its decision on each.
| Complaint | Commission’s decision |
|---|---|
| Roll number or question-booklet number circles on the OMR sheet left blank or filled wrongly | Rejected. Candidates were told through the advertisement, admit card, OMR sheet and invigilators that such an OMR would not be evaluated, and evaluation is fully automated. |
| Score fell after normalisation | Rejected. The advertisement said normalisation would apply if the exam ran in more than one shift or day; the Commission calls it a scientific process upheld by courts. |
| Marks lower because of the answer key | Rejected, together with the normalisation complaints — no change to marks or normalised scores. |
| Errors in name, father’s/husband’s name, date of birth or category on the pass certificate | Accepted. Online applications for correction will be taken soon through the Commission’s portal, and a corrected certificate can be obtained. |
The examination was held on 2, 3 and 4 July 2026 under Advertisement No. 01/UPTET/2026. Under that advertisement, the pass mark is 90 of 150 (60%) for General candidates and 82 of 150 (55%) for reserved categories, and the certificate — valid for life — is issued through DigiLocker.
A note on how this was checked: the press release is a scanned Hindi document, so the facts above were read from the image. The Commission’s home page titles it “वि० सं० 02/2026 UPTET”, while the advertisement itself is numbered 01/UPTET/2026.
