In Uttar Pradesh’s 68,500 teacher recruitment, OBC candidates are asking for 40 percent to be treated as the pass mark. OBC means Other Backward Classes. The paper is being described as 150 marks. 40 percent means 60 marks. On 2 October 2026 in Lucknow this demand was given to Anupriya Patel in a memorandum. She said injustice would not be allowed. That is a statement. This article does not have the board’s cutoff table. Treat 60 as pass only when the board writes it.
This is the position on 3 October 2026. The demand is the organisation’s. Not a recruitment-board order. It is also not the census-column agitation.
What the demand is
Candidates say the pass mark for OBC should be 60 out of 150. That is 40 percent. Toofan Singh is speaking in this campaign. He says the state backward classes commission has already ordered relief, and the recruitment has not followed. That is his statement. The order copy and the board rule have to be read together. This article does not have the commission’s order copy, and it does not have the board’s official cutoff table.
On 2 October in Lucknow the memorandum went to Anupriya Patel. She is an Apna Dal leader and a Union minister. She said injustice would not be allowed. That is an assurance. Not a notice changing the result. The result changes when the recruitment board or the basic education department uploads a new rule on the portal.
40 percent and reservation are not the same thing
People mix the two. Reservation is the share of seats. A pass mark is the paper’s number. An OBC seat is one thing. The number needed to pass is another. At the Centre OBC reservation is 27 percent. Uttar Pradesh has its own percent and its own list. The 40 percent pass demand does not change that 27. It is a demand about the cutoff of this recruitment.
Do not mix the creamy layer in here either. The creamy layer limit is 8 lakh a year, since 2017. That is a rule of income and post. The 60 marks in this teacher recruitment do not come out of that limit. The non-creamy-layer certificate comes from the state. The cutoff is written by the board.
Who said what
Toofan Singh says the commission has already given relief. Until the order copy and the board’s letter show together, do not treat it as the rule in force. Anupriya Patel’s line is that injustice will not be allowed. These reports do not say she set the cutoff at 60. The date of 2 October is the memorandum. Not the result.
There is no crowd number in this article. An official table of how many candidates are below 60 was not in the public reports used here. If WhatsApp says lakhs have failed, do not take it as board data.
This is not the census front
The separate OBC column across the country is a demand about the census form. The 6 October Jharkhand block and Chalo Delhi on 1 November are on that column. The 68,500 story is the Uttar Pradesh teacher recruitment. A column being added will not change the marks on this paper. The 87:13 held recruitment in Madhya Pradesh is separate too. The letter there comes on a department order. The Kunbi certificate in Maharashtra is separate.
Pages in the same line: how much the reservation is, creamy layer at 8 lakh and the separate census column.
A simple example
Say the paper is out of 150. Someone has 58. The demand says 60 is pass. 58 is still below 60. Even if the demand is applied, 58 does not become a pass. Someone has 62. If the demand is applied, that person can show as pass on this line. Whether it is applied is what the board’s table will say. A memorandum is not a table.
Match the roll number on the portal of this recruitment. Do not paste another recruitment’s result on this 68,500. Check the state list for whether the name is on the OBC list. The creamy layer is a separate paper.
The numbers here are the numbers in the reports. Recruitment of 68,500. Paper of 150. Demand of 60 marks, 40 percent. Memorandum of 2 October 2026. No official cutoff table. No crowd number.
Do not match an old result to the new memorandum. Open the portal of the recruitment your roll number belongs to. 40 percent is not the seat quota. 40 percent is the pass-mark demand.
What to check on the portal
Open the roll number. The recruitment name should be the 68,500 teacher one. Marks should show out of 150. The word pass or fail should be the board’s, not a group’s. If OBC category is written, still read the cutoff from the table on that page. A photo of the memorandum is not the cutoff. Anupriya Patel’s line is an assurance. Toofan Singh’s line is a claim about the commission’s order. The three things are separate.
The demand for an OBC column in the census will not change the pass mark of this recruitment. A column counts population. 60 marks is the number on this paper. Even if both stories come on one day, they do not become one order.
Advice:
The plain point is this. In the 68,500 teacher recruitment, OBC candidates want 60 out of 150, or 40 percent, treated as pass. On 2 October in Lucknow a memorandum went to Anupriya Patel. She said injustice would not be allowed. This is a demand. Not the board’s result. Treat 60 as pass only when the board or the department writes it on the portal. Match the roll number in this recruitment. A WhatsApp cutoff is not an order. This front is not the census column, and it will not give an appointment letter.
