UPTET Result 2026 is declared. Check Paper 1 and 2 results, certificate download, pass percentages, result grievance decisions and correction process.
The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) declared the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET) 2026 result on 26 August 2026. The examination was conducted on 2, 3 and 4 July 2026 for Primary Level (Paper 1, Classes 1 to 5) and Upper Primary Level (Paper 2, Classes 6 to 8). UPESSC subsequently issued eligibility certificates to qualified candidates from 7 September 2026.
Important result update: After candidates reported discrepancies in OMR evaluation and marks, UPESSC temporarily removed the result download link from its portal on 4 September. In a decision notice dated 16 September 2026, the Commission rejected requests to revise marks on the basis of OMR entry mistakes, normalisation or answer-key calculations. It allowed qualified candidates to apply online for correction of specified personal details printed on their certificates. Candidates should use the Commission's latest portal notice for the current certificate download or correction facility.

The Commission's main website is the authoritative source for the result, certificate and correction services. The original result link was removed temporarily after complaints were received. Do not use unofficial mirrors or enter personal details on websites that are not linked by UPESSC.
The Commission's result figures reported for the two levels are:
| Level | Candidates appeared | Candidates qualified | Pass percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Level (Paper 1) | 7,13,648 | 5,71,435 | 80.07% |
| Upper Primary Level (Paper 2) | 10,57,021 | 7,59,513 | 71.85% |
These figures relate to the respective papers. A candidate who appeared in both levels should check the result and certificate status separately for each paper.
Because the Commission removed the result download link after complaints about evaluation, the original result service may not always be visible. Follow the latest UPESSC announcement for any reactivation or updated candidate-service link.
UPESSC issued UPTET 2026 eligibility certificates to qualified candidates from 7 September 2026. The certificate is an important document for candidates seeking teaching opportunities at the primary or upper-primary level. Candidates were instructed to access the certificate through the Commission's official website using their roll number and date of birth or other login details displayed on the certificate service.
The Commission announced that certificates would also be made available through DigiLocker. Check the UPESSC notice or DigiLocker account for availability. Do not assume that a certificate is available in DigiLocker until it appears in your account.
After the result was declared on 26 August, candidates submitted representations regarding OMR sheet entries, normalisation of marks, answer-key-based marks and personal details printed on certificates. UPESSC formed a committee to examine the representations and issued its decision on 16 September 2026.
| Issue raised | Commission's decision |
|---|---|
| Incorrect or incomplete roll number / question booklet details bubbled on OMR sheet | Requests for result or marks revision were not accepted; candidates were responsible for following OMR instructions. |
| Reduction in marks after normalisation | Requests to revise normalised marks were not accepted. |
| Difference in marks calculated from the answer key | Requests for revision on this ground were not accepted. |
| Errors in successful candidates' certificates | Online correction of specified personal and category details was permitted under the Commission's procedure. |
The decision means that candidates should not expect a change in marks solely because of OMR filling errors, normalisation concerns or their own calculation using the answer key. Certificate correction is a separate process and does not itself change the examination score or qualifying status.
UPESSC's decision notice allows eligible successful candidates to seek correction of specified details printed on their certificates. The categories identified include:
Candidates should use the online correction facility only when it is enabled on the official UPESSC portal. Enter the corrected information carefully and upload the supporting documents requested by the Commission. Save the application acknowledgement and follow any further instructions for issuance of the corrected certificate.
| Category | Minimum qualifying percentage | Marks out of 150 |
|---|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | 60% | 90 |
| Reserved categories as specified in the applicable rules | 55% | 82.5 |
Candidates should verify the applicable category-wise qualification rule in the official UPTET 2026 advertisement and result notice. Qualification is determined by the Commission's published result, not by an unofficial score calculation.
| Paper | Teaching level | Classes |
|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | Primary Teacher | Classes 1 to 5 |
| Paper 2 | Upper Primary Teacher | Classes 6 to 8 |
Candidates who appeared in both papers should check the qualifying status and certificate for each level. Passing UPTET establishes eligibility for consideration in applicable teacher recruitment processes; it does not itself appoint a candidate to a teaching post.
The UPTET eligibility certificate is valid for a lifetime under the applicable teacher eligibility rules. Candidates should retain the digital certificate and a printed copy. A valid TET certificate is an eligibility document and does not guarantee recruitment, appointment or selection in any particular school or vacancy.
