exam was scheduled to be conducted on January 29 and 30. It was discussed in a meeting chaired by Chairman and former Director General of Police (DGP), Prashant Kumar. Exam officials said that the exam has been postponed due to administrative and technical reasons. As of now, a new date for the exam has not been announced yet. The new dates for the UPTET 2025 exam will be announced soon, says the board. This is not the first time that the UPSESSB board has postponed the UP TET exam. “It was decided that a comprehensive schedule for all pending examinations, including the Uttar Pradesh Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT), Post Graduate Teacher (PGT), and TET exams, would be prepared after reviewing the examination schedules of other commissions and institutions,” the board said. About UP TET More than 15 lakh candidates will be appearing in the exam. Previously, UP TET was conducted on January 23, 2022. Therefore, aspirants were waiting for almost four years for this exam.
