Lakhimpur Kheri. The district administration has become fully alert regarding the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission, Prayagraj's Assistant Teacher Trained Graduate Category (Male/Female) Preliminary Examination-2025.  Preparations have been finalized to conduct the examination, scheduled for January 17, in a fair, transparent, and peaceful manner.

Rehearsal and adherence to guidelines are essential: DM

The DM told the officials to carefully read the examination guidelines so that the possibility of any error is zero. Checking the ID of every candidate will be mandatory, and even a single violation of the examination rules can bring the entire process under suspicion.
