According to the commission’s notice, the UPTET 2026 written examination was conducted in five shifts over three days, on July 2, July 3 and July 4. The examination was held at 955 centres across 60 districts of Uttar Pradesh. There were two shifts for the Primary Level and three shifts for the Upper Primary Level.
The examination had a very large candidate pool, with 19,94,661 candidates registered for UPTET 2026.
