Secondary school principals, head teachers and teachers in Uttar Pradesh can apply online from 10 to 30 November for the Rajya Adhyapak Puraskar and the Mukhyamantri Adhyapak Puraskar. The secondary education department released the schedule on Wednesday, 4 November. Government-run, aided and Sanskrit-medium school staff are eligible for the state teacher award, while staff from unaided secondary schools can apply for the chief minister’s teacher award. Applications will be accepted on the department’s website. Selection will be done on a 120-point scale covering student attendance, exam results, enrolment growth and school resources. The entire selection process is to be completed by 24 January 2027.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The timeline published by the secondary education department gives around 7,500 schools and their teachers a structured window to apply for two distinct recognition awards. The evaluation system, based on a 120-point scale covering student attendance, exam results and enrolment growth, means an applicant’s performance must be documented against criteria set in 2022. The department has itself set a selection deadline of 24 January 2027, leaving over two months for the four-tier committee process to work through applications, verification and final selection.
