The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPSESSB) has once again postponed the Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) 2025. The written exam has been postponed again due to unavoidable reasons. The Board has not yet announced the revised dates for the exam. The exam was scheduled to be conducted on October 15 and 16. Now, it is expected to be conducted on December 18 and 19. Registered candidates must be aware that this is not the first time that board has postponed the exam. Through this recruitment drive, a total of 4,163 teaching posts across the state will be filled. Out of the total vacancies, 3,213 vacancies are for TGT male and 326 for TGT female candidates. A total of 549 posts have been reserved for PGT male and 75 for PGT female candidates. Official notice released by the board reads, “This is to inform all concerned that the written examination for Advertisement No.-02/2022 Lecturer (P.G.T.) scheduled for October 15 and 16, 2025, is postponed due to unavoidable reasons. The date of the examination will be announced separately.” The application window for the UP TGT and PGT recruitment opened on June 9, 2022, and closed on July 9, 2022. The Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Services Selection Board (UPSESSB) in June 2025 announced the third postponement of the written examination. The exams were originally scheduled for June 18 and 19, 2025. Candidates and other stakeholders must note that revised dates will soon be released on the official UPSESSB website, upessc.up.gov.in. UP PGT Postponed For the 4th Time, Aspirants Say, ‘What a Joke!’An ‘X’ user claiming to be an aspirant shared screenshots of all the postponement notices. The post reads, “After postponing UP’s PGT EXAM DATE 4 times in a row, attempt to postpone it for the 5th time? Now the youth have no option left except a peaceful protest. Another user took to platform X to share, “The UP PGT exam has been postponed for the fourth time. Forms were filled in 2022, and two years were spent establishing the commission. The exam was scheduled for October 15th and 16th, There are over 1.3 million candidates. What a joke!” Another user tagged CM Yogi Adityanath and posted (originally in Hindi), “Never in history have the youth been so disappointed. It will feel as if their age has slipped away. The UP TGT-PGT exams being cancelled again has shattered them. You may feel relieved, but you are not the one with children. How would you know the dreams parents hold — that one day their child will stand on their own feet? When the final moments come, these cries will return to you.” Candidates are advised to keep an eye on the official website for regular updates on exam.
