Teachers Eligibility Test

Teachers Eligibility test known as TET is an Indian entrance examination for teachers. The test is mandatory for getting teaching jobs in government schools from class 1 to class 8.

Level I is meant for class 1 to 5 and Level II for class 6 to 8. It is conducted by both Central government and State governments in India .

Most states conduct their own TET . The test is conducted in order to fulfill and achieve the goals of the Right of Children to free and compulsory education act.

The exam is based on National Curriculum Framework. The people who have the professional qualification to Teacher Training such as B.T.C (D.El.Ed), B.Ed , B.El.Ed are eligible to take part in the test. It’s a mandatory qualification for one who wanted to be a teacher from class I to class VIII. A candidate has to score over 60% to clear the eligibility test.

The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) maintains the database and guides the government bodies about conducting the test.

Central Teacher Eligibility Test

The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) , qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in classes I to VIII. It had been inter alia provided that one of the essential qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in any of the schools referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is that he/she should pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conducted by the appropriate Government in accordance with the Guidelines framed by the NCTE. A candidate needs minimum 60% to become CTET Qualified and the certificate is valid for a period of 7 years. The qualified candidates become eligible to apply for teacher recruitment as and when it happens for Class I to VIII in schools that come under the purview of the Central Government (KVS, NVS, Central Tibetan Schools, etc) and schools under the administrative control of UTs of Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu and Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep and NCT of Delhi. The examination is tough with qualification rates of 1% to 14% in the exams held so far. CBSE conducts CTET twice in a year.

The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as under:

  • • It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the recruitment process;
  • • It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these institutions to further improve their performance standards;
  • • It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays special emphasis on teacher quality

The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India has entrusted the responsibility of conducting the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) to the Central Board of Secondary Education Delhi.
