Applicants for the Uttar Pradesh Assistant Teacher recruitment now have 13 extra days. The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has moved the last date to apply online and pay the fee from 15.10.2026 to 28.10.2026, and the last date to correct the form from 19.10.2026 to 31.10.2026. The written exam is not affected and stays on 03 and 04 December 2026.
If you have not applied yet, register on the official website with your OTR (One Time Registration — the basic profile you create first) and fill in the form before 28.10.2026.
Pay the fee online by the same date. The extension covers both the form and the fee.
If you already applied and spotted a mistake, correct your application on the website by 31.10.2026.
Save at least three printouts of your final application, as the original notification advises.
Photograph or signature rejected by the upload form?
UPESSC wants the photograph as a JPG between 30 KB and 300 KB, and the signature as a JPG between 10 KB and 200 KB at 140 x 110 pixels. Resize yours to those exact limits in a few seconds.
Do not assume the exam has moved. The notice says the written exam stays on 03 and 04 December 2026.
Do not wait for the new last date. The correction window closes only three days after applications do, so there is little time to fix errors.
Apply only on the official website. Applications sent by any other mode are not accepted, as the original notification says.
Remember that the fee is paid online with the application, and the extended date covers both.
This notice changes only two dates. For eligibility, fee and everything else, read the main recruitment post.
