Is there an entrance exam for UP D.El.Ed 2027?
No. UP D.El.Ed admission has no written test. PNP prepares a state merit rank by adding your High School, Intermediate and Graduation percentages, and seats are then filled through online choice filling.
You fill one application from any one district, and it is valid for D.El.Ed seats in the DIETs and private institutes of every district. Seats are filled on merit without a separate arts or science quota or a men and women split, except that women-only private institutes admit only women.

How is the UP D.El.Ed 2027 state merit rank prepared?
Your state rank depends only on your marks. PNP adds three percentages, each rounded to two decimal places.
| Part of the merit score | How it counts |
|---|---|
| High School (Class 10) percentage | Added in full |
| Intermediate (Class 12) percentage | Added in full |
| Graduation percentage | Added in full |
| Tie-breaker 1 | Older candidate ranks higher |
| Tie-breaker 2 | Name in alphabetical order |
For example, 75% in High School, 70% in Intermediate and 60% in Graduation give a merit score of 205. In 2026 PNP ranked 1,52,202 candidates and released the rank list as PDFs in rank ranges.
