On the login page, select the correct Exam Name (PGT/ Lecturer written exam). 4.

Understanding your city slip: what details to check immediately

When your city slip appears, check these items first: - Your full name and application/registration number — ensure spellings match your photo ID. - The exam name and the exam date printed on the slip. - The exam city assigned to you and any list of proposed centres mentioned. - The shift/day note — this will tell you which of the two shifts on a given day you must appear for.

What the city slip will and will not show - It confirms your exam city and the proposed centres for that city. It may not always show the exact centre address or centre code; the final admit card (from 06 May 2026 ) usually carries the full venue and reporting time.

If you spot a discrepancy - If your name or application number is wrong, do not wait. Note down the error, keep screenshots of the page, and visit the UPESSC website for instructions on corrections. You can also visit the regional education office in your district, but avoid sharing personal data in public forums.

Exam centres and geography: where exams are being held

UPESSC plans to conduct the paper at 319 proposed examination centres across 17 districts . These districts were named in the notice and include major cities that are transport hubs. If your city slip assigns you a centre in another city, plan as if you're travelling outstation.

Table: Districts hosting exams and quick travel hubs to consider

What '319 proposed centres' means - 'Proposed' means UPESSC has listed centres tentatively to manage large candidate numbers. The exact building or hall allocation is finalised close to the exam and published on the admit card.

Preparing if your centre is in a different city - Book refundable travel and accommodation where possible. Plan for early arrival to handle local delays. If you must change travel plans after admit card release, keep all booking references and receipts for record-keeping.

Day-before and exam-day checklist

Carry these items to the exam centre (practical student checklist): - Printed city slip and, once available, the printed UP PGT admit card downloaded after 06 May 2026 . - A valid government-issued photo ID (carry the original and a photocopy). - Two passport-size photographs (in case the centre requires one for verification). - Comfortable clothing and any necessary medication. - A small bottle of water and light snacks for before/after the exam. - A charged phone and power bank; keep travel and stay booking details accessible.

OMR-specific reminders - The UP PGT written exam is OMR-based. Mark answers carefully. Avoid stray marks on the OMR sheet. Fill each bubble completely and erase any stray pencil marks cleanly if allowed. - Use the same pen throughout; follow any instructions printed on the OMR sheet about pen or pencil. Read the question paper instructions before marking the OMR.

Reporting time advice - Arrive early and allow extra time for security checks and local traffic. If your admit card gives a reporting time, treat that as the latest arrival time and aim to reach 30–45 minutes earlier.

What the city slip doesn’t tell you — gaps to watch and how to handle them

The city slip is useful, but it leaves some details blank until the admit card is released.

Common gaps - Exact centre address and room allocation. - Precise shift start/end timings and the reporting time (these appear on admit card). - Official helpline numbers and contact points for last-minute queries (check the official site for any updates).

How to handle missing details - Download the admit card from 06 May 2026 — it usually fills these gaps. If address or timing still seems missing, check the UPESSC notifications page for circulars. - Make contingency travel plans: book refundable tickets or choose options with easy change/cancellation. - Keep copies of all registration and booking confirmations and screenshots of your city slip.

Recordkeeping - Save at least two digital copies (cloud and local) and one printed copy of the city slip and admit card. Note down your application/registration number and keep it accessible at all times.

Quick troubleshooting: if you can’t download or face login issues

Common issues and fixes - Typing errors: re-check the application/registration number, mobile number, father’s name and date of birth. - Security code mismatch: enter the CAPTCHA exactly as shown; refresh if unreadable. - Browser problems: try a different browser or device. Clear cache and cookies, or open the portal in an incognito/private window. - Portal load: the site can slow down when many candidates try to download simultaneously. Attempt download during early morning or late evening if you face timeouts.

When to escalate - Keep screenshots showing error messages and note the time of your attempts. If persistent problems continue after multiple tries, monitor the UPESSC website for advisory notices or updates about download windows.

Preparing to perform: exam-day strategy for OMR-based tests

Time management - The exam runs in two shifts across two days. Know which shift you are in and plan your peak alertness accordingly. If you are less alert in the morning, prepare sleep and meal routines to match your shift.

Answer-sheet tips - Read instructions on the OMR sheet carefully before you start marking answers. Fill bubbles fully and neatly. Avoid folding or soiling the OMR sheet. - Mark answers only on the answer sheet if the question paper is separate. Double-check question numbers before marking.

Stay-calm techniques - Sleep well the night before and eat a light, familiar breakfast. Short, calm breathing exercises before the exam can help steady nerves. - Use quick revision for formulae or key facts rather than last-minute cramming which can increase anxiety.
