UPHESC Assistant Professor Exam Date 2026, Re-Exam Schedule

Exam date announced

UPESSC has announced the Assistant Professor examination schedule for Advertisement No. 51/2022. The written re-examination will be conducted on 18 April 2026 and 19 April 2026.

The exam will be held in two shifts on both days. Candidates should verify their exact subject and code from the official notice PDF and then cross-check the same details again on the city intimation slip and admit card.

This update is important because it replaces earlier uncertainty around the recruitment after the previous examination cycle was cancelled.

Official notice PDF and direct links

The official PDF is the primary document for the date-wise and shift-wise schedule. Candidates should save a copy and keep checking the UPESSC website for any further change or clarification.

Subject-wise exam schedule

Candidates should rely on the official notice PDF for the operative subject schedule. If your subject details appear differently on the admit card, the admit card should be treated as the final exam document for entry purposes.

Shift timings and exam duration

The examination will be conducted in two shifts each day, and each shift is of two hours.

Candidates should reach the exam venue early and should not wait until the last minute, especially because exact reporting time and centre-level instructions are usually printed on the admit card rather than on the exam-date notice.

City intimation slip and admit card dates

The city intimation slip for the Assistant Professor re-examination has been made available from 8 April 2026. This slip helps candidates know the allotted exam city in advance so that they can plan travel and stay.

The admit card will be available from 15 April 2026. Unlike the city slip, the admit card carries the complete examination details, including the centre, reporting instructions, and other entry conditions.

• City intimation slip: 08 April 2026
• Admit card: 15 April 2026
• Exam dates: 18 and 19 April 2026

Do not treat the city slip as a substitute for the admit card. Entry to the examination will depend on the hall ticket and valid identity proof.

Why this is a re-examination

The April 2026 schedule is for a re-examination, not a first-time written test. The earlier Assistant Professor examination held in April 2025 under Advertisement No. 51 was later cancelled after findings related to paper leak and serious irregularities.

Following that cancellation, the state government directed the commission to conduct the examination again in a transparent manner. The current notice therefore resets the written examination stage for affected candidates.

If you had already followed the 2025 schedule, you should now work only with the 2026 city slip, admit card, and latest schedule PDF.

Recruitment reference and vacancy position

The current exam-date notice is tied to Assistant Professor Recruitment Advertisement No. 51/2022. The original recruitment was advertised on the earlier commission system for 981 posts, and a later official add-on notice on the earlier commission website referred to 36 additional requisitioned posts in 12 colleges.

At the same time, later exam-calendar reporting around the re-examination used different working counts and also indicated that details for the B.Ed. subject under Advertisement No. 51 would be issued separately. Because of these staggered updates, candidates should match their own subject and application details with the latest operative notice rather than relying on a single vacancy figure taken from unofficial summaries.

For exam purposes, the most important reference remains Advertisement No. 51/2022 and the current April 2026 schedule.

How to download the schedule, city slip and admit card

1. Visit the official UPESSC website.
2. Open the Assistant Professor exam date notice PDF from the relevant notice link.
3. Read the date, shift, and subject code carefully.
4. When the city slip link is active, log in using your registration details and date of birth or the credentials asked on the portal.
5. Download the city intimation slip for advance planning.
6. Return to the official portal on or after 15 April 2026 to download the admit card.
7. Check the subject, date, shift, centre, and reporting instructions on the hall ticket before printing it.

Keep soft and printed copies of all three documents: the schedule notice, city slip, and admit card.

Exam day checklist

• Printed admit card downloaded from the official portal
• Valid photo identity proof
• Correct subject and shift confirmation
• Travel plan based on the allotted city and centre
• Enough reporting margin so that late entry issues do not arise

The exam-date notice and follow-up updates also make it clear that candidates should read the instructions provided on the portal from 8 April 2026 onward and follow the admit-card instructions strictly on the examination day.

What is confirmed and what candidates should still watch for

What is confirmed right now is the re-examination date, the two-shift schedule, the subject-wise allotment in the notice PDF, the city intimation-slip activation from 8 April 2026, and the admit-card release from 15 April 2026.

What candidates should still watch for is any last-minute commission update on subject-specific clarification, exact exam centre details on the admit card, or separate information for categories or subjects that were being handled independently earlier.

The safest approach is to keep checking the official UPESSC portal until the examination is over.
