UPTET 2026 Passing Marks

To qualify UPTET, candidates need to score at least the minimum marks fixed for their category:

Category	Minimum Qualifying Marks
General	60% (90 marks)
SC/ST/OBC/Divyang (Reserved)	55% (82 marks)

If your marks are below this cut-off, you will not qualify UPTET this time and will need to wait for the next exam.

Does Passing UPTET Guarantee a Teacher’s Job?

This is a very common misunderstanding. The fact is that UPTET is only an eligibility test, not a job guarantee. Candidates who pass it become eligible to apply for future teacher recruitment processes. To actually get a government teaching job, candidates must clear a separate recruitment exam, merit list, document verification, and other stages after this.

What Happens If a Working Teacher Fails UPTET 2026?

Many serving teachers worry that failing UPTET might cost them their job. According to the available information, if a candidate is already working as a teacher and does not clear UPTET 2026, their job is not automatically terminated just because of this. In such cases, the decision is taken as per the concerned department and applicable service rules.

What Should Candidates Do Now?

While waiting for the result, candidates should:

• Keep their roll number and admit card safe, as this information will be needed to check the result.
• Regularly check the official website so they don’t miss the result or any notice.
• Avoid trusting rumours or unofficial sources, and verify every detail from the official website of the Uttar Pradesh Shiksha Sewa Chayan Aayog.
