The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has officially scheduled the UP Super TET (Assistant Teacher Selection Examination) written test for 3 and 4 December 2026.
The examination will be conducted across multiple district headquarters in Uttar Pradesh in offline pen-and-paper mode using carbonless OMR answer sheets. To safely accommodate applicants while ensuring stringent security and biometric authentication, the examination is distributed across two calendar days in two daily shifts.

Mandatory Documents to Carry to the Centre
You will not be allowed to enter the exam hall without the following four items:
- Printed Super TET Admit Card: Clear, laser-printed copy downloaded from the UPESSC portal.
- Original Photo Identity Proof: Aadhaar Card, Passport, Voter ID Card, or PAN Card (Digital copies on smartphones or photocopies are strictly invalid).
- Passport-Sized Photographs: Two recent colored passport photographs identical to the photo uploaded during application submission.
- Black Ballpoint Pens: At least two high-quality black ballpoint pens for bubbling the OMR sheet.
Strictly Prohibited Items & Security Protocols
To avoid immediate disqualification and legal FIR under the UP Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, leave these items outside:
- Electronic Gadgets: Mobile phones, smartwatches, fitness bands, Bluetooth earphones, calculators, or storage drives.
- Stationery: Pencils, erasers, whiteners (correcting fluid), rulers, geometry boxes, or notes.
- Accessories: Metallic jewelry, smart glasses, or bulky belts.
Biometric Authentication & OMR Integrity
At the entry gate, invigilators will capture your digital photograph and index fingerprint scan, cross-verifying them against your UPESSC OTR database record. Ensure your hands are clean of ink or mehendi to avoid fingerprint authentication failure.
Before you begin marking answers, verify that your test booklet and carbonless OMR sheet share the same Series Code (A, B, C, or D). If codes differ, report it to the room invigilator immediately.
