About the UP TGT exam
What the exam is
UP TGT is the written examination for Trained Graduate Teacher posts in Uttar Pradesh aided secondary schools, conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC), Prayagraj. Recruitment is subject-wise: a candidate applies for one subject and sits only its paper.
The revised pattern
The paper carries 120 questions for 360 marks in two hours. Ninety of those questions are in your subject and thirty are General Studies. Each correct answer is worth 3 marks and each wrong answer costs 1 mark, and selection is on the written merit.
Three quarters of the paper is your own subject, so subject depth decides the result. The thirty General Studies questions are still worth 90 marks, which is more than most candidates give them credit for.
Subjects offered

- English

Because the paper is subject-wise, a general TGT test series is of limited use. Every paper here is filed under the subject it belongs to, and a plan for UP TGT opens the papers for the subject you chose.
How to use this test series
There are 42 UP TGT papers open right now: 22 full mocks on the ninety plus thirty pattern, 10 mini mocks for a short sitting, 4 previous year papers, a sectional and a daily quiz. Every paper runs the two-hour clock and applies the same minus one, so a practice score means what the real one will.
Submit, and the report separates your subject score from your General Studies score, gives your rank against everyone who sat the paper, and rates every topic out of ten with the answers explained in Hindi and English.
Before you apply
