If you're dreaming of becoming a government teacher in Uttar Pradesh, you must be wondering about the salary. After you clear the UPTET exam and become a primary (Classes 1-5) or upper primary (Classes 6-8) teacher, the 7th Pay Commission decides your salary. Right from the start, you can expect an in-hand salary of around ₹37,000 to ₹45,000.

A UPTET teacher's salary differs based on the class level they teach. Primary teachers (Classes 1-5) get a basic pay from ₹9,300 to ₹35,400. Upper primary teachers (Classes 6-8) receive a basic pay from ₹9,300 to ₹44,900. This means a higher class level gets you a higher salary. The grade pay is also different, which affects the total income.

After adding all these, the total salary reaches between ₹37,000 and ₹45,000. While there are some deductions like TDS and GIS, the final in-hand amount is still quite good.Many candidates don't know this, but you don't get the full salary right after joining.
