UPTET 2026 official website

Currently, the government has launched two websites via its official portal, establishing a separate subdomain specifically for online applications.
The official website for the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test is https://upessc.up.gov.in/. Furthermore, when you access this site, a pop-up window appears introducing their new website, the link for which is https://uptet.upessc.org/otr/. The government has already put measures in place to ensure that their servers do not go down under any circumstances; this is because whenever a new vacancy or initiative is launched, a large number of users tend to access the site simultaneously—thereby placing a heavy load on the website—and the government has therefore preemptively distributed the traffic load.
