Last Date03/08/2026

Short Information: The Board of School Education Uttarakhand, Ramnagar, has opened online registration for the Uttarakhand Teacher Eligibility Test (UTET) I & II 2026, the mandatory qualifying exam for anyone who wants to teach in Primary (Classes I-V) or Upper Primary (Classes VI-VIII) schools across the state. This isn't a recruitment drive with fixed vacancies — it's a certification exam, and once you clear it, the certificate stays valid for your entire lifetime, so you can attempt it as many times as you want to improve your score. Online applications are open from 14 July 2026 to 03 August 2026, with the fee payment window closing on 06 August 2026. Candidates can apply for UTET-I (Primary level), UTET-II (Upper Primary level), or both in a single application. The exam itself is a multiple-choice paper of 150 questions worth 150 marks, to be completed in 2 hours 30 minutes, and both papers will be conducted on the same day — 29 September 2026 (Tuesday) — in two separate shifts. General category candidates need 60% to qualify, while SC/ST candidates need just 40%, and OBC/PwD/Ex-servicemen candidates need 50%. There's no negative marking, so attempting every question is a safe strategy.

Recruitment Note: About Board of School Education Uttarakhand (UBSE)

The Board of School Education Uttarakhand, headquartered at Ramnagar (Nainital), is the state authority responsible for conducting the Uttarakhand Teacher Eligibility Test under provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, and NCTE notifications dated 23 August 2010 and 29 July 2011. The Board is responsible for the entire process of UTET, from conducting the examination to declaring results and issuing certificates. Passing UTET is a mandatory minimum qualification for appointment as a teacher in Primary and Upper Primary schools that are government-run, government-aided, or recognized by the state and affiliated to any national education board in Uttarakhand.

Recruitment Note: Why Clearing UTET Matters

UTET qualification is a lifetime-valid certificate and does not by itself guarantee a job — it is one of the mandatory minimum eligibility criteria for teacher recruitment, with actual appointments made separately by the state government under its teacher service rules. Candidates who clear CTET (conducted by the Central Government) are also treated as eligible for teaching posts in Uttarakhand government schools, with CTET qualifying marks treated as equivalent to UTET. However, candidates who have cleared TET conducted by other states are not eligible for teacher appointment in Uttarakhand on that basis.

Recruitment Note: Scribe and Compensatory Time Facility

Candidates with Blindness, Locomotor Disability, or Cerebral Palsy, as well as other benchmark disability candidates holding a certificate from a competent government medical authority, are eligible for the scribe facility. Eligible candidates get 20 minutes of compensatory time per hour of examination. The scribe must be arranged by the candidate and must have an academic qualification at least 2 years but not more than 3 years below the candidate's own qualification. Required documents must be submitted to the Board office at least 15 days before the exam date.

💡 Expert Tip

Choose your exam city preferences carefully — once allotted, no changes are permitted under any circumstances, and if fewer than 100 candidates opt for a particular city, that centre won't be created at all, so you could end up shifted to your second-preference city automatically. Also, since corrections to your application are only allowed during the 08 to 11 August window and never after, double-check your category, sub-category, eligibility code and language options before final submission — once the fee is paid, no field can be edited. If you're applying as an in-service teacher, make sure you select the 'In Service Teachers' eligibility code and have your school's 11-digit U-DISE code ready, since this cannot be changed later either.
