UPBEB Special Educator (Basic Shiksha) Recruitment 2026

UP Special Educator (Basic Shiksha) Recruitment 2026 — Overview

The Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Board (UPBEB) ran a recruitment drive in 2026 to engage Special Educators in the state's government primary and upper-primary schools. A Special Educator is a trained teacher who helps children with special needs — such as hearing, speech, learning or physical difficulties — study alongside other children in a normal classroom. This particular drive was not for fresh candidates. It was open only to people who were already working as Special Educators in Uttar Pradesh on a daily-wage, contract or outsourcing basis.

Applications opened on 15 June 2026 and the last date to apply was 29 June 2026. There was no application fee for any category, and the window is now closed. The short table below sums up the drive.

Who Could Apply — Eligibility

Only candidates who were already appointed as a Special Educator in Uttar Pradesh — through daily-wage, contract or outsourcing — could apply. Along with this, the candidate had to hold a valid registration in the Central Rehabilitation Register (CRR), which is maintained by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). RCI is the government body that registers and certifies special-education teachers, so this CRR certificate was the main must-have document.

A pass in CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) or UPTET (Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test), at Primary or Junior level, was required, along with the CRR (RCI) certificate.

Age Limit

The candidate's age had to be between 21 years and 40 years. Age is counted as on the date fixed in the official notice. Age relaxation for reserved categories is given as per Uttar Pradesh Government rules.

Number of Posts and Salary

The notice did not fix a state-wide number of vacancies; educators were to be engaged as per the need of each district. A fixed pay scale was also not stated in the notice, because this is a contract/outsourcing engagement. For the exact post count and payment terms, candidates should read the official notice on the department website.

Selection Process

There was no written examination for this drive. Selection was based on document verification. Candidates had to submit their CRR (RCI) certificate and CTET/UPTET marksheet, along with proof of their current appointment as a Special Educator in Uttar Pradesh. The department then checked these documents to prepare the final list.

How to Apply

The application was a document-submission process rather than a long online form. Eligible Special Educators had to send their required documents in the manner, and within the last date, given in the official notice (last date 29 June 2026). The general steps were:

1. Open the official Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Board website using the link in the Important Links table above.
2. Read the Special Educator notice in full and confirm you meet the eligibility (current appointment plus CRR registration).
3. Keep your CRR (RCI) certificate, CTET/UPTET marksheet and appointment proof ready as clear scanned copies.
4. Submit the documents in the way stated in the notice before the last date.
5. Save a copy of your submission for your own record.

As the last date (29 June 2026) has passed, fresh applications are no longer accepted. Candidates should now watch the official website for the final selection or merit list.

Important Points to Remember

• The drive was only for people already serving as Special Educators in Uttar Pradesh.
• There was no application fee for any category.
• A valid CRR (RCI) registration and a CTET or UPTET pass were both required.
• Always cross-check every detail with the official department notice before acting.
