Assam TET requirement lifted for Graduate, PG Teachers recruitment

In an unprecedented move, the Assam government on Wednesday passed a resolution in the cabinet to waive off the eligibility requirement of the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for the appointment of teachers in the state. As per the announcement, the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) will no longer be required for Graduate Teachers (GT) and Post Graduate Teachers (PGT) of Secondary Schools.

The govt. introduced these changes to streamline the recruitment process of teachers in the state. Instead of the TET requirements, the Assam government will conduct TET-cum-Recruitment Test for Graduate Teachers and Post Graduate Teachers of Secondary Schools.
The information was shared by the Assam Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu via his official Twitter handle, “Assam Cabinet Decides: TET will not be required for Graduate and Post Graduate Teachers of Secondary Schools. Assam will conduct TET-cum-Recruitment Test for GT & PGT of Secondary Schools. Successful candidates will be equal to the number of vacancies.”

This move is expected to simplify the recruitment process of teachers in the state. It also aims at providing a fair chance to deserving candidates for teaching posts.
The government is expected to release more details about the TET-cum-Recruitment Test in the coming days.
