UP Super TET Syllabus 2026 (Revised), Check Junior New Exam Pattern Here

Published by Uttar Pradesh Shiksha Seva Chayan Ayog · Last updated: 2 September 2026

Overview

The UP Super TET Syllabus 2026 is now available for candidates preparing for the Assistant Teacher recruitment examination in Uttar Pradesh. Going through the syllabus before beginning preparation is important because it gives candidates a clear idea about the subjects, important topics, and overall structure of the paper.

The syllabus is not exactly the same for Primary and Upper Primary teacher posts. Candidates applying for Primary Teacher posts for Classes 1 to 5 have to prepare a wider combination of subjects, while the Upper Primary examination gives considerable importance to the teaching subject selected by the candidate.

It is also important to understand that Super TET is related to the teacher recruitment process, unlike CTET and UPTET, which are primarily eligibility examinations. Candidates who have qualified the required CTET or UPTET examination and fulfill the prescribed educational criteria can appear for the recruitment examination.

UP Super TET Syllabus 2026 for Upper Primary Teacher

The syllabus for Upper Primary Assistant Teacher posts for Classes 6 to 8 follows a different structure. Instead of distributing the complete paper across the same subjects as the Primary examination, the paper has two broad sections.

The first section is common and focuses on General Knowledge. The second and larger section is based on the teaching subject chosen by the candidate. This makes subject selection particularly important for Upper Primary aspirants.

Upper Primary Exam Pattern

Section	Subject	Questions
Section 1	General Knowledge	30
Section 2	Selected Teaching Subject	90
Total	—	120

For the second section, candidates need to choose the subject according to the teaching post for which they are applying.

Language Teacher: Sanskrit, Hindi or English, any one
Social Studies Teacher: Social Studies

Candidates should therefore prepare the subject relevant to their post thoroughly, as it forms the largest part of the Upper Primary paper.

UP Super TET Syllabus PDF Download

The syllabus PDF should be one of the first documents candidates keep ready while preparing for the examination. Instead of studying topics randomly, candidates can use the official syllabus as a checklist and complete each section one by one.

For Primary Teacher preparation, candidates should cover all ten sections mentioned in the syllabus. Those preparing for Upper Primary posts should first identify their teaching category and then focus on the corresponding 90-question subject section along with General Knowledge.

Candidates are advised to download the latest UP Super TET Syllabus 2026 PDF from the official recruitment authority and check the document carefully for any later amendments or updates.

Preparation Tips for UP Super TET 2026

Start With the Official Syllabus: Keep the syllabus beside you while studying so that you do not spend unnecessary time on topics outside the prescribed areas.
Divide Your Preparation: Break the syllabus into manageable daily and weekly targets rather than trying to complete everything at once.
Give Priority to Larger Sections: Subjects carrying more questions should naturally receive more preparation time.
Build Strong Basics: Clear your basic concepts in Mathematics, Science, Languages and Social Studies before moving to advanced practice.
Prepare Teaching Sections Separately: Child Psychology, Teaching Skills and Life Skills require conceptual understanding, so these should not be treated like ordinary factual subjects.
Practice Previous Papers: Previous year questions can help you understand the type of questions generally asked and identify areas where you need more practice.
Take Mock Tests: Full-length tests are useful for improving time management and getting comfortable with negative marking.
Revise Frequently: Keep a regular revision cycle so that topics covered earlier do not get forgotten during the later stages of preparation.
