About the Super TET exam
UP Assistant Teacher (Super TET) is the recruitment examination for teaching posts in classes 1 to 5 of Uttar Pradesh's primary schools. The 2026 cycle runs under UPESSC Advertisement 05/2026 for 12,405 posts, with the written examination on 3 and 4 December 2026.
What the paper looks like
The paper is 120 questions in 120 minutes, on OMR, set in both Hindi and English. Each question carries 3 marks, so the paper is out of 360, and one mark is deducted for every wrong answer.
- General Knowledge & Current Affairs - 25 questions
- Languages: Hindi 15, Sanskrit 7, English 8 - 30 in all
- Mathematics - 16
- Science - 8
- Environment & Social Studies - 8
- Teaching Skills - 8
- Child Psychology - 8
- Life Skills, Management & Attitude - 8
- Information Technology - 4
- Logical Reasoning - 5
The Commission's own level statement puts the content subjects - languages, science, mathematics, environment and social studies - at up to class 12 standard. The teaching papers sit at the level of a teacher-training course.
What changed from 2018 and 2019
Candidates who prepared for the 68,500 and 69,000 recruitments are preparing for a different paper this time. Those were 150 questions of one mark each with no negative marking, conducted by the Exam Regulatory Authority in Prayagraj. The 2026 paper is shorter, each question is worth three times as much, and a wrong answer now costs a mark.
That single change rewrites exam strategy. Under the old pattern a blind guess was free. At +3 and -1 it is not: four blind guesses with one hit leave you level, and anything worse puts you behind. Attempting everything is no longer the safe default, and a candidate who has not practised under negative marking tends to discover that in the hall.
Eligibility and applying
Qualification, age, fee and reservation are set by the Commission and can be revised between cycles, so the authoritative statement is the notification itself rather than any summary of it. Read UPESSC Advertisement 05/2026 on the Commission's website before you apply.
How to use this page
Every mock test here is built on the 2026 pattern - 120 questions, +3 and -1, two hours, both languages - and the section weights above, not on the old 150-question paper. You get your marks, your rank against everyone who sat the same paper, and a topic-by-topic report showing which of the ten sections is costing you most.
