UPESSC Assistant Professor Exam City Slip 2026

UPESSC Assistant Professor exam city slip 2026

The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC), Prayagraj, has released the exam city intimation slip for the Assistant Professor recruitment on 8 November 2026. Candidates can check their exam city through the candidate login on the UPESSC portal. The written examination will be held on 19 and 20 November 2026 in two shifts each day, across six cities — Agra, Meerut, Lucknow, Prayagraj, Gorakhpur and Varanasi. The admit card will be released on 15 November 2026. About 1,27,571 candidates are to appear.

Note on dates: some job portals list 11 November 2026 as the city-slip date in their date tables — that is wrong. The slip was released on 8 November 2026, as reported by the mainstream press and confirmed by the majority of sources.

The recruitment

This is the Assistant Professor recruitment under Advertisement No. 04/2026, notified on 8 September 2026. There are 1,936 posts in all — 1,564 in co-education colleges and 372 in women's colleges. Some portals report 375 posts for women's colleges — that figure is wrong; the official advertisement gives 372. Applications ran from 8 September to 7 October 2026 and are now closed; this post is about the exam city slip only, not a new recruitment. This is distinct from the UPESSC TGT recruitment and from the UPESSC PRT re-open, which are different advertisements.

Eligibility and pay

Candidates need a postgraduate degree with a minimum of 55 percent marks plus NET, SLET or SET, or a PhD, in one of about 40 subjects listed in the advertisement. The maximum age is 62 years as on 1 July 2026; no minimum age is stated in the advertisement. The pay is Level-10 at ₹57,700–1,82,400. Selection is through a written examination, followed by interview and document verification.

Application fee (recruitment stage)

The application fee for this recruitment was ₹2,000 for General, Unreserved, OBC and EWS candidates, ₹1,500 for SC and ST candidates, and ₹1,000 for PwD (Divyangjan) candidates, as per the official advertisement. Applications are closed, so the fee is given here for information only and no fee card is carried on this admit-card post.

What to do now

Log in to the UPESSC candidate portal to check your exam city. The city slip is login-based — there is no public PDF or notice on the UPESSC homepage for it. Download your admit card when it is released on 15 November 2026 and check the exam centre, date and shift printed on it before travelling.
