The Uttar Pradesh Education Services Selection Commission has extended the last date for online applications to 12,405 assistant teacher posts. Candidates can now apply and pay fees until 28 October, and amend applications until 31 October. The previous deadline was 15 October. Advertisement No. 05/2026 covers 897 Assistant Teacher (Affiliated Primary) posts and 11,508 Assistant Teacher (Urban) posts. Commission chairman Prashant Kumar said the extension was in students’ interest. The written examination remains set for 3 and 4 December.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The extension to 28 October gives 12 days more for 12,405 UP assistant teacher posts, but the December exam dates stay fixed. Candidates who missed the original deadline now have a second window, though the unchanged schedule means preparation time remains compressed for those applying late. The commission’s move addresses last-minute logins and technical delays but leaves aspirants with a firm exam date to plan against.
