The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission has postponed the Lecturer (PGT) recruitment exam. The exam was scheduled for October 15th and 16th, 2025. Candidates awaiting the UP Lecturer (PGT) written exam will have to wait once again. The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission, which conducts the exam, announced this. The commission's Deputy Secretary issued a notice stating that the exam date will be released separately on the commission's website at a later date. Unavoidable reasons have been cited for the postponement, which have not been disclosed.

The PGT and TGT recruitment process was launched on June 9th, 2022. This recruitment process was to fill 3,539 TGT and 624 PGT positions. The application deadline was originally July 9th, 2022, but was extended by a week to July 16th, 2022. Despite more than three years having passed, both exams have still not been conducted. 4.50 lakh candidates applied for the PGT exam, while 8.69 lakh applied for the TGT exam. All of them have been waiting for the exam for three years.

The Education Services Selection Commission's handling of the TGT and PGT recruitment exams has been under constant scrutiny. Competitive students have consistently leveled allegations against it. Avnish Pandey, president of the Competitive Students' Struggle Committee, asks how long competitive students will have to wait. The PGT exam has already been postponed three times and the TGT exam twice.

There is uncertainty about whether these two exams will be held on schedule next time. The Commission has postponed the PGT exam for the fourth time, causing disappointment among competitive students.
