UP Super TET — Assistant Teacher Recruitment Guide (Primary Schools)
"Super TET" is the popular name for the UP Assistant Teacher recruitment exam (Classes 1-5, government primary schools) — an actual competitive selection exam, not just an eligibility test like UPTET.
- What it is: UP Assistant Teacher (Primary) recruitment exam, conducted by UP Basic Education Board
- Prerequisite: must already hold a valid UPTET or CTET (Paper 1) qualification
- Merit formula: 60% Super TET score + 10% each from Class 10, Class 12, Graduation, and D.El.Ed/B.Ed marks
- Pattern: 150 MCQs, 150 marks, no negative marking, 2.5 hours
- Last confirmed cycle: 2022, 1,894 vacancies (Assistant Teacher + Principal/Headmaster) — the process and merit formula below reflect that cycle*
Super TET last ran in 2022 with 1,894 vacancies (Assistant Teacher + Principal/Headmaster). Re-confirmed 2026-08-02: no fresh 2025-26 notification has been officially released by UPBEB — a 2026 cycle is anticipated/rumoured across many job-alert portals, but this remains speculation, not a real notification. The exam structure and merit formula on this page are based on the 2022 cycle and how UPBEB has historically run it. A "69,000 vacancies expected in 2026" figure circulates on some portals but traces to no official source — do not treat it as confirmed until UPBEB's own notification appears. Do not confuse this with UPTET (a separate eligibility test, rescheduled to 2-4 July 2026) — that is not Super TET recruitment.

Is Super TET the same as UPTET?
No. UPTET is only an eligibility test. Super TET is the actual recruitment/selection exam that fills vacant Assistant Teacher posts — you need UPTET (or CTET) first to be eligible for Super TET.
How is final merit calculated?
A weighted formula: 60% weight to the Super TET exam score, plus 10% each from Class 10, Class 12, Graduation, and teacher-training (D.El.Ed/B.Ed) marks — not the exam score alone.
