SUPER TET Syllabus 2026 and Exam Pattern

SUPER TET is the recruitment examination for assistant teacher posts in Uttar Pradesh basic schools — the stage a UPTET-qualified candidate reaches next. The revised structure is a single 150-question paper over 150 minutes, and its weighting is unusual: General Knowledge and Current Affairs alone carries 30 marks and Language 40, so the two together are nearly half the paper.
