If you are searching for UP RERA courses, one leads to agent certification: the Agent Training Certification Programme run by the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority. It takes four days, costs ₹6,000 per trainee and ends with a written exam. If you are already registered, UP RERA's order of 5 January 2026 says you must finish the training and get the certificate by 31 December 2026. Private coaching, including ours, cannot replace it.

Where this comes from: UP RERA's office order dated 5 January 2026, read from the copy published by LiveLaw because we could not find it on the public pages of up-rera.in, and UP RERA's press releases of 24 February, 26 July, 13 August, 18 August and 28 October 2026. We could not open the consolidated General Regulations UP RERA published in August, so check its Legal section for any later change. UP RERA has not published a question count, time limit or pass mark for the exam. A page quoting exact numbers is usually repeating Maharashtra's format, which is set by a different authority and does not apply in Uttar Pradesh.

The 31 December 2026 deadline

Say you registered as an agent in 2023 and have never done this course. Paragraph 19 of the order applies to you: previously registered agents must take the training and get the certificate by 31 December 2026.

UP RERA repeated the date on 13 August 2026 in slightly different words, calling it "the deadline for applying for training and certification of all existing employees" of agencies. Our reading is that agents should work to the order, which asks for the certificate itself, and that firms should enrol their staff well before the date.

The order does not say what happens if you miss it. UP RERA's 18 August 2026 release says the certificate is mandatory for registration and renewal, so a renewal is not a way around it.

Leave time for the steps after you apply. Your batch comes by email, and on 28 October results had been declared only up to the 50th batch, which ran from 23 to 26 September. Certificates are then collected in person at the head office in Lucknow. If you are unsure where you stand, ask UP RERA at contactuprera@up-rera.in.

Who has to train

You areWhat the order requires
An individual or proprietor, already registeredTrain and get the certificate yourself, by 31 December 2026 (paras 6, 19)
Applying for new registration or an amendmentGet the certificate first. The online application comes after it (para 2)
A partnership, LLP or company50% of partners or directors, or two in charge of operations, whichever is less, before applying. Operations people go first and the rest later (paras 7.1, 7.2)
Staff who handle sales or buyers at a firm25%, to the nearest whole number, train first and the rest later. New joiners must train too (paras 8, 9, 11)
A foreign national, NRI or sleeping partner or director, not acting as an agent under Section 2(zm)No training, but the firm uploads its constitution document and a notarised affidavit saying so (para 7.3)

Example: a firm has 5 directors, all active, and 12 sales staff. Half the directors would be 2.5, and two is lower, so 2 operations directors train. A quarter of the staff is 3. The authorised signatory uploads a notarised affidavit that the other 3 directors and 9 staff will train later, and the firm can then apply (paras 9, 10).

What the four days cover

The first three days are teaching. UP RERA's releases name these topics:

  • The RERA Act, and UP RERA's rules and regulations
  • The Contract Act, the Transfer of Property Act and the Apartment Ownership Act
  • Stamp and registration procedure
  • Guidelines for promoting and marketing projects, and how the agent portal works
  • Consumer rights, and the roles, duties and liabilities of agents

The written exam is on day four. Answer books are marked and only those who pass get a certificate, so attendance alone is not enough. Phones, tablets, smartwatches and laptops are not allowed in the hall.

How to apply, step by step

  1. Register for the training on the UP RERA portal and pay ₹6,000 online. If you paid ₹5,000 earlier, pay another ₹1,000 from your dashboard.
  2. Watch your email. UP RERA sends the batch allotment there, and you must reply to confirm.
  3. Take a recent passport-size colour photo in formal dress and a copy of your Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence, passport or voter card to the centre.
  4. Attend the three days and sit the exam on day four.
  5. If you pass, collect the certificate in person, in formal dress, at UP RERA's head office. UP RERA warned in July that agents who leave it uncollected may face difficulty at renewal.
  6. Apply for registration or the amendment. That fee is separate: ₹25,000 for an individual and ₹5,000 to renew under the UP rules, with higher figures for firms. See every UP agent fee.

If you miss a batch or fail the exam

  • Cannot attend your batch: you get one more chance in a later session.
  • Told UP RERA within 48 hours of the invitation email: for special circumstances, you can be moved to a later programme without losing the fee.
  • Confirmed, then did not turn up: a later programme can be allowed with an extra ₹3,000.
  • Missed the extra chance in other circumstances: the full ₹6,000 is forfeited, and you apply and pay again.
  • Failed the exam: you can re-register for a later session by paying ₹3,000. The order states no limit on attempts.

Where the official course ends and RERAExam begins

RERAExam is not a training provider and cannot enrol you. UP RERA runs the programme, and it is the only route to certification. We offer practice: answering RERA questions and seeing why each answer is right.

1
Enrol with UP RERA
Registration, fee payment and batch allotment all happen through up-rera.in. Nothing on this page replaces that step, and we earn nothing from it.
2
Test what you already know, free
Ten questions from our UP bank, scored by topic. It takes a few minutes and shows which parts of the Act and the UP rules need work before the four days.
3
Practise for the day-four exam
Timed papers, topic drills and an explanation for every answer. UP RERA has not published its exam format, so our papers are practice and not a copy of the real one. This is the paid part, and it is only worth it once step 2 shows your gaps.

Start with step 2, it is free

Ten questions, scored by topic, no payment. You will see which topics to work on before your batch.

Where and when batches run

The programme began in December 2024 at Literacy House, Lucknow. The order names the India Literacy Board in Lucknow and, as decided, NIET in Greater Noida with Kanpur University. The 50th, 52nd and 54th batches all ran in Lucknow.

We did not find a public calendar of future batches. The recent pace is visible from UP RERA's own notices: 12 batches began between 8 July and 28 October 2026, about one every ten days. The 54th had 41 participants.

The latest dates UP RERA has published: the 50th batch ran 23 to 26 September, the 52nd began on 14 October and the 54th on 28 October.

How many agents have been through it

The certified figure stops at an earlier batch than the trained figure, so dividing them does not give a pass rate. UP RERA's portal showed 7,376 agents on 6 November 2026. That counts registrations, while the course figures count people, including staff of firms, so subtracting one from the other would not tell you how many are left to train.

Training is logged every quarter

At its 13 August 2026 webinar, UP RERA told agents that the quarterly REG-9 return includes their employees' training and certification status. It is due within 15 days of the end of each quarter, and late filing carries a ₹10,000 fee.

The order does not say what happens if the date is missed.
How much does the UP RERA agent training course cost?
₹6,000 per trainee, paid online on the UP RERA portal. Anyone who paid ₹5,000 earlier pays another ₹1,000 from their portal dashboard. The agent registration fee is separate.

Four days, non-residential. The first three days are teaching. A written exam is held on the fourth day, and only candidates who pass get a certificate.
What happens if I fail the day-four exam?
You can re-register for a later training session by paying ₹3,000, under paragraph 16 of the order. The order states no limit on attempts. UP RERA has not published a pass mark, question count or time limit, so confirm the current position with UP RERA before you sit the exam.
When is the next UP RERA training batch?

Where is the UP RERA agent training held?
The 54th batch ran at the Indian Literacy Board on Kanpur Road, Lucknow. The order also names NIET, Greater Noida, as a venue, as decided, and UP RERA says programmes have run in both Lucknow and Greater Noida.
How many people in a firm have to train?
Before applying, a partnership, LLP or company needs 50% of its partners or directors, or two in charge of operations, whichever is less, trained and certified. It also needs 25% of the staff involved in sales, to the nearest whole number, and a notarised affidavit that the rest will train later.
Does the certificate stay valid if I change firms?
Yes. Under paragraph 18 of the order, a certificate earned as a firm's representative stays valid if you move to another agency or apply for your own registration. The order does not state a validity period.
