UP Super TET 2026: Revised 120-Question Pattern

Under UPESSC Advertisement No. 05/2026, the examination scheme has undergone three major official reforms.

120 Total Questions (MCQs)
360 Total Marks (3 marks per correct answer)
-1 Negative Marking (1 mark deducted per wrong answer)
120 Minutes Exam Duration (2 hours, OMR-based)
Negative Marking Warning for Candidates

Do not guess blindly. Unlike the 2018 and 2019 examinations which carried zero negative marking, the 2026 paper penalizes wrong answers by 1/3rd (-1 mark). If you are uncertain between multiple options, calculating your expected net value is essential. Check our negative marking guide and calculator.
