# UP TGT recruitment: Commission calls social media posts misleading 2026-10-27T11:48:58+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Uttar Pradesh Shiksha Seva Chayan Ayog, Prayagraj, has dismissed social media posts about reservation in the Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) recruitment as misleading. The commission issued an official clarification after it took notice of false information being circulated on social media and other platforms. An advertisement for a total of 17,735 posts under the Assistant Teacher (graduate level) recruitment was published on 23 October 2026. The commission said certain individuals and organisations had been spreading misleading information about the posts and the reservation system. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The commission’s clarification, issued two days after the advertisement was published, shows it is reactive to social media rumours. That leaves several thousand candidates in the dark about whether the 17,735 posts are genuinely open to them until the commission releases the detailed seat matrix. No date has been set for that release, so uncertainty around the recruitment will persist until the commission publishes the final breakdown. ## Coverage - amarujala.com Leads with commission's rebuttal, not the original controversy This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
