This recruitment follows the resignation of the commission’s first chairperson, Prof. Kirti Pandey. Earlier, applications for the first round were invited between September 26 and October 21, with 67 candidates applying.
After screening, 37 candidates were found eligible, but interviews could not be conducted. The eligibility act was subsequently amended, and a new advertisement was issued on November 19, under which the current applications are being processed.
The UP Education Service Selection Commission is responsible for conducting examinations and interviews for teacher recruitment across the state’s basic, secondary, higher, and technical educational institutions, including aided minority colleges. It also oversees the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). The appointment of a new chairperson is expected to expedite pending teacher recruitment processes.
