UPTET 2026: The online application process for the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET) 2026 commenced on March 27. The deadline for submitting applications is April 26, while the UPTET 2026 examination is scheduled to be held on July 2, 3, and 4. For UPTET 2026—which is being conducted after a gap of four years—the Commission has implemented stringent measures to prevent fraud; consequently, several significant changes have been introduced to the online application process this time around. During the UPTET 2026 online application process, candidates will be required to upload a "live photo" of themselves, and they must also provide details regarding any twin siblings they may have.
Let us explore the specific changes the Commission has introduced regarding the UPTET 2026 online application process. We will learn how candidates can upload their live photos at the time of application, as well as understand the regulations concerning the disclosure of information regarding twins.
Details Regarding Twins Must Also Be Uploaded
The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has initiated the application process for UPTET 2026. This time, several steps have been taken to ensure the transparency of the examination; as part of these measures, candidates are required to provide information regarding any twin siblings for exam management. During the application process, candidates will encounter an option to provide details regarding twins. If a candidate selects the "No" option, they may proceed further with their application. However, if a candidate selects the "Yes" option (indicating that they have a twin), they must provide specific details regarding their twin sibling—including their Aadhaar card details, identification information, and whether or not the twin sibling is also appearing for the UPTET examination.
How to Upload a Live Photo
During the UPTET 2026 online application process, candidates are required to upload a "live photo." This live photo serves to verify and confirm the candidate's identity. The primary objective behind this requirement is to prevent candidates from subsequently editing their photographs and to ensure that no substitute candidate appears for the examination in place of the original applicant. At the time of application, candidates will be able to capture and upload their live photo using the selfie camera on their mobile phones. Let's find out how a live photo can also be uploaded using a mobile QR code.
To do this, candidates must click on the generated QR code within the application form. This will open a second QR code. Candidates are required to scan this second QR code using their smartphone. Subsequently, candidates can upload a photo captured using their mobile phone's selfie camera.
