UPPSC to Recruit 1800 Assistant Professors for Government Colleges

The Directorate of Higher Education is set to send a requisition of approximately 1,232 vacant posts for Assistant Professors in government colleges to the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) in the month of June 2025. Earlier, the DHE, UP had already requested recruitment for 562 UP Assistant Professor vacant posts, bringing the total number of positions to around 1,800.

This large-scale UPPSC Assistant Professor Recruitment 2025 aims to fill teaching positions in existing colleges as well as 71 newly established government colleges. Out of these, two colleges are under construction and will become operational from the next academic session, while the remaining 69 colleges will start functioning from the 2025-26 session. The UP state government has already created posts for these institutions, and the recruitment process is expected to begin soon.

UPPSC Assistant Professor New Exam Pattern

Previously, the selection process for UPPSC Assistant Professor Recruitment was based on an interview and a screening test. However, the UPPSC is now planning to introduce a three-tier examination system, including:

  • Preliminary Exam
  • Main Exam
  • Interview

Sources indicate that the Personnel Department has approved the new format, and it is now awaiting Cabinet approval. Once finalized, the commission is expected to release the UPPSC Assistant Professor Recruitment advertisement within two months.
