The Uttar Pradesh Teachers Eligibility Test (UPTET) 2021 admit card will be re-issued. The exam which was scheduled to be held on November 28 was later cancelled after the question paper got leaked in WhatsApp groups. Once the fresh admit cards are issued, candidates have to download them from the official website as without it candidates will not be allowed to enter the exam hall.

Efforts are also being made to replace unaided schools which were earlier made exam centres with the state board and aided secondary schools, CBSE and CISCE schools, degree colleges, and universities. If required, only unaided schools of good reputation will be made exam centres. For this purpose, discussions have been held with the district school inspectors, so that there is no difficulty while changing the centres. Further, preparations are also being made to call subject experts for the preparation of the new question paper.
As per reports, people associated with the event believe that the exam can be held only after the second week of January and it is not possible to conduct the exam in December.
