Several Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET) 2021 aspirants were allegedly not allowed to enter the exam centre in Noida on January 23. The candidates were denied entry for not producing valid documents, according to ANI. Aspirants said they have been denied entry at sector 30 DPS exam centre in Noida. Some aspirants briefly sat at the gate of the exam centre as a sign of protest.
“We have all the documents, but they want us to produce the principal’s signature. How will I get it, if the concerned person is in Allahabad? They are not letting us appear,” an aspirant told ANI while another said that the gate of the exam centre was closed before the scheduled time.

Officials claim that the documents were not valid and were not attested properly. Following the UPTET 2021 paper leak on November 28, the exam was cancelled and held on Sunday amid tight security and stricter guidelines. Candidates claim that these guidelines have gone against them.
Reportedly an exam solver gang or experts impersonating as candidates were also caught during the teacher eligibility exam. Several arrests also have been made in this regard.
