UP TGT PGT Eligibility Criteria 2026, Age Limit, Qualification, Selection Process

Table of Contents

The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) prescribes separate eligibility criteria for Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) and Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) posts in Uttar Pradesh’s aided secondary schools. Meeting all prescribed conditions is mandatory. Candidates who fall short of any of these conditions have their applications rejected outright, regardless of how they perform in the written exam. Since TGT and PGT eligibility differ both in the qualifying degree (a bachelor’s-level subject degree for TGT versus a postgraduate degree for PGT) and in the age criteria applied to each post, candidates should check the exact eligibility clause for their subject and post category rather than assume a common standard applies across both. Candidates must check the subject-wise educational qualification and age limit for their specific post before applying.
