The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) — also referred to as UPHESC — has reopened applications for 107 Assistant Professor (B.Ed.) posts across 41 aided non-government degree colleges in Uttar Pradesh. This is a re-apply cycle under Advt. No. 51: candidates who previously applied for BEd subject posts must submit a fresh application — the old one is not valid.

These are permanent teaching positions in government-aided colleges under UP's higher education system — UGC pay scale, job security, and pension.

Selection Process

| Personal Interview | 30 | Candidates shortlisted from written exam merit list |
| Total Merit | 230 | Final selection based on combined written + interview score |
The written exam tests your command of the B.Ed. subjects — education theory, pedagogy, curriculum design, evaluation methods, and subject-specific teaching methodology. Interview tests subject depth, communication, and suitability for college-level teaching. Both stages matter — written exam alone does not guarantee selection.

Why This Recruitment Matters
107 permanent Assistant Professor posts in UP government-aided colleges under UGC pay scale is a meaningful opportunity for M.Ed. / PG+BEd qualified candidates in UP. The age limit of 62 years means this is accessible even to experienced educators who are currently in school teaching or private colleges. The written exam (200 marks) is the primary filter — strong subject knowledge and education theory will be more decisive than any coaching shortcut. Candidates with NET + PhD have a strong profile advantage in the interview stage as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I applied earlier in the original round — do I need to apply again?
Yes. UPESSC specifically stated that candidates who applied earlier for BEd subject posts must re-apply under this re-open notification. Your earlier application is not transferred. Apply fresh at bed.upessc.org/otr/ before 27 May 2026.
Q: What does the written exam cover exactly?
The 200-mark written exam tests subject knowledge (your BEd-related PG subject) along with education theory and teaching aptitude. Think of it as a paper that tests whether you know your subject deeply enough to teach at degree-college level and whether you understand how teaching and evaluation works in higher education.
Q: Is NET mandatory, or is PhD sufficient?
Either NET/SET/SLET OR PhD/D.Phil. from a recognised university is acceptable. You don't need both — one of the two qualifications satisfies the requirement. Check the official notification for any subject-specific variations.
Q: Are these posts only for UP candidates?
No — there is no domicile restriction mentioned for this recruitment. Candidates from any state who meet the educational and age eligibility can apply. However, posts are in UP colleges, so relocation to UP will be required.
Q: What is the interview process like?
The interview carries 30 marks. It is conducted by UPHESC and typically involves a panel of subject experts and commission members who ask about your academic background, teaching experience, subject knowledge, and approach to college-level pedagogy. Candidates shortlisted from the written exam merit list are called for interview.
