Why Is the UP TGT Notification Delayed?
Reports suggest the delay is linked to qualification rules under discussion. For PGT, the Secondary Education Department wrote to NCTE asking for a one-time relaxation from the B.Ed requirement and the 50% marks condition in post-graduation, and the decision is awaited. Educator updates say the TGT advertisement is also waiting for clarity on similar conditions, such as 50% marks in graduation, B.Ed and TET. These TGT points are unofficial, so wait for UPESSC’s notice.
The commission has a rule to publish an advertisement within about 30 days of receiving a requisition, but it cannot do so until qualification rules are final. Requisition withdrawals do not by themselves mean a long delay, since an advertisement can be issued quickly once rules are settled.
