UP Makes TET Mandatory for Physical Education Teachers Amid Aspirant Concerns
The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has made the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) mandatory for physical education candidates applying for 17,735 Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) posts, including 849 physical education vacancies. Aspirants with Bachelor of Physical Education (BPEd/BPE) qualifications express concern, citing ineligibility to take TET since 2011 and questioning the requirement's basis. The state education department urges candidates to rely on official notifications, clarifies that selected candidates have until June 2027 to clear TET, and plans to conduct another TET exam to facilitate compliance.
