UPTET 2021 on January 23, COVID standards to be respected

Chief minister Yogi Adityanath has tasked senior bureaucrats to make concrete preparations to systematically conduct the UP Teachers’ Eligibility Test (UPTET)-2021 on January 23.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath instructed the senior officials to make concrete preparations to systematically conduct the UP Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET)-2021 on January 23.

“Covid-19 protocol must also be followed. Masks, sanitizers, infrared thermometers must be available in each center,” Yogi said during a Covid review meeting with “Team 9” on Monday.

UPTET-2021 was canceled on November 28 last year after a paper leak was revealed following which several people were arrested. Some senior officials from the Prayagraj exam regulatory body were also found guilty in a subsequent investigation by the state government.

In order to maintain the integrity of the exam, the Additional Chief Secretary, Home, Additional Chief Executive, Law and Order, Principal Secretary, Basic Education, as well as District Magistrates, basic education officers and other relevant officers were asked to review the arrangements via videoconference.

The Chief Minister also told the officials that the track record of the institutes should be considered before establishing it as an examination centre.

He said that institutions with a dubious image should not become examination centers at all. The result of UPTET-2021 will be announced on February 25. The exam would take place in two periods: from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for primary school teachers and from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. for upper primary teachers.
