Asstt teachers’ exam final key out, results by next wk

Prayagraj: With the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court paving way for the recruitment of assistant teachers in primary schools last Wednesday and chief minister Yogi Adityanath issuing directives to expedite the selection process, the Exam Regulatory Authority (ERA) released the final answer key for UP Assistant Teachers’ Recruitment Exam on Saturday.
The candidates can look up the answers on ERA’s official website at http://atrexam.upsdc.gov.in, said Exam Regulatory Authority (UP) secretary Anil Bhushan Chaturvedi. ERA’s UP unit’s headquarters are at Prayagraj.
Now, as the answer key has been released, the final result is likely to be declared by next week.
Around 4.1 lakh applicants had registered for the exam, of which 3.86 lakh candidates had appeared.
The posts had been advertised on December 6, 2018 and examination to recruit 69,000 assistant teachers was held on January 6, 2019. The ERA had released a provisional answer key on January 8, 2019, and invited objections, if any, by January 11, 2019.
The state government raised the cut-off for selection of assistant teachers to 65% (from 45%) for general and 60% (from 40%) for reserved category candidates which was challenged in high court.
On May 6, 2020, the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court upheld revised cut-offs and directed the state government to complete the selection process within three months.
CM Yogi then directed the basic education department to complete the process of declaring the results for recruitment of 69,000 assistant teachers in the state within a week.
