Candidates who have completed the ‘Shastri’ degree from Sampurnanand Sanskrit University may now be eligible for Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) posts in aided junior colleges in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has sent a letter to the state government seeking clarity on this eligibility.

The application process for TGT positions in non-government aided secondary schools is currently underway. Several discrepancies regarding qualifications have emerged during the process. The commission’s letter aims to resolve the status of Shastri degree holders so they can apply for the assistant teacher posts. A decision from the state government is awaited.
The ambiguity over the eligibility of ‘Shastri’ degree holders for TGT posts leaves candidates in limbo while the application process is already underway. The commission’s letter to the state government now shifts the decision to the administration, but until clarity arrives, applicants cannot be certain whether they qualify. The outcome will determine how many Sanskrit-stream candidates can actually apply before the window closes.
