Yes, if you score equal to or above the cutoff marks in the UPTET (Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test) exam, you will be considered qualified for the exam. The cutoff marks are the minimum marks required to pass the UPTET examination. If your score meets or exceeds the cutoff marks set by the conducting authority, you will be eligible to apply for teaching positions in Uttar Pradesh, subject to meeting any additional eligibility criteria specified by the recruiting authorities. It's important to note that qualifying in the UPTET exam does not guarantee a teaching job but serves as an eligibility criterion for teaching positions.
