UP TGT Written Exam Date 2026 — 23 and 24 December 2026

Basis of this post — read plainly

The official UPESSC PDF is unreachable live from our server: both the PDF and the homepage fail to connect. It was read through a 3 November 2026 crawl of the same official PDF, in which the key figures are legible — TGT 17,735 posts, and the dates 23 October 2026, 24 October 2026, 23 November 2026, 26 November 2026, and 23 and 24 December 2026 — and the aggregator transcription matches the crawl on every checkable point. That is the same basis used for other exam-date posts where the official portal could not be read, such as the CPCT admit card post.

There are 17,735 posts in all: 16,193 in boys' schools and 1,542 in girls' schools. The pay is Level 7, Rs. 44,900 to Rs. 1,42,400.
