Guidelines for conducting Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)
Background and RationaleThe implementation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory
Education (RTE) Act, 2009 requires the recruitment of a large number of teachers
across the country in a time bound manner. Inspite of the enormity of the task, it is
desirable to ensure that quality requirement for recruitment of teachers are not diluted
at any cost. It is therefore necessary to ensure that persons recruited as teachers
possess the essential aptitude and ability to meet the challenges of teaching at the
primary and upper primary level.
