PRAYAGRAJ: The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has officially announced the final results for the Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) Recruitment 2026 for the Social Science discipline. The long-awaited merit list, featuring the names and roll numbers of the successful candidates, was uploaded to the commission’s official portal, uppsc.up.nic.in, late last evening.
Selection Overview
This recruitment drive was aimed at filling critical teaching vacancies in government-aided secondary schools across Uttar Pradesh. The selection process for the Social Science cadre was particularly competitive, given the high volume of applicants from History, Geography, Political Science, and Economics backgrounds.
