Previously, BED candidates had the opportunity to write TET paper 2 only. DED candidates write TET paper 1. However, in last year’s TET exam BED candidates were also allowed to write TET paper 1. These changes were made as per the directives of the National Teacher Education Council. BED candidates will be allowed to write two papers even in the conduct of TET this term. BED candidates can compete for the posts of Secondary Grade Teacher (SGT) teaching classes 1 to 5 by giving an opportunity to write TET paper 1.

Last year on June 12, the education department conducted TET. Candidates were given an opportunity to apply from March 26, 2022, up to April 12, 2022. The TET exam was conducted on June 12. It is supposed to be held once every six months, and not held annually. Previously TS TET certification had a validity of seven years but now it is valid for a lifetime.
