What is UPBEB – UP Basic Education Board
Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Board (UPBEB) was established to manage and oversee primary and upper primary education across UP Government and government-aided schools. UPBEB conducts two key examinations for teacher recruitment: UPTET (eligibility exam) and Super TET (recruitment exam). Additionally, the D.El.Ed (Diploma in Elementary Education) programme for prospective primary teachers is also managed through the UPBEB portal at updeled.gov.in.
Teaching posts in UP Government schools are among the most secure and respected government jobs in the state. Primary school teachers serve as Assistant Teachers for Classes I–V. Upper primary teachers serve for Classes VI–VIII. Both career paths require first clearing UPTET and then qualifying Super TET for final appointment.
