TET on July 23

8,792 teacher posts to be filled in August

​Hyderabad: The government has decided to hold Teacher Eligibility Test in July for the benefit of those who recently passed B Ed and D Ed to make them eligible to take part in the recruitment to teacher posts in government schools.

Announcing this here on Wednesday Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Education Kadiam Srihari said recruitment of teachers to fill the vacancies in the government schools would be taken up soon after the TET results are announced in August.

The Deputy Chief Minister said that the guidelines of NCTE for recruiting teachers in government schools stipulate that the candidate should have passed TET to participate in the recruitment process.

About 8,100 candidates have passed the D Ed and 18,000 passed B Ed this year. He said the students had requested the government to conduct TET to enable them to become eligible to apply for teacher posts. The Telangana State Public Service Commission would take up recruitment for 8,792 teacher posts in August, this year.

The notification for the TET would be issued on June 10, test would be conducted on July 23 and the results would be announced on August 5. The teachers recruitment notification would be issued a week after the announcement of results. The candidates who have already qualified in TET can also appear in this TET exam to improve their score.

The Deputy Chief Minister said that the decision to hold fresh TET has been taken based on the fact that if recruitment process was taken up earlier, the recently passed students of B Ed and D Ed would raise legal objections.

The government has arrived on the vacancy position on the basis of conditions existing as on September 2016. The vacancy position of this academic year would be examined for recruitment in the academic year of 2018.

Srihari said that the recruitment process for 8436 posts in Gurukul Schools was on. Primary test was completed and the main test would be held soon. Government has come to the conclusion that about 17,500 teaching and non teaching staff would be required for the newly established residential schools. Out of it filling up of 8,436 vacancies is going on and the rest would be recruited in the next academic year.

He said that in 2018 recruitment would be taken up to fill about 10,500 posts in government educational institutions, 6000 in government schools and 4,500 in residential schools. He said that about 27,000 posts in the government education sector have been filled so far.

Srihari said that the government has calculated the number of posts in all the 31 districts, following the rule of reservation.

He said that the Congress party has no right to hold protest meeting in Osmania University, in the name of ‘Nirudyoga Garjana’. He said that they are free to hold such meeting elsewhere and not in the university.

“They can invite Rahul Gandhi or some other leader to the event. But they should not turn the university into a platform for political activity,” the Deputy Chief Minister said.

He said that the recruitment of staff for the new KGBV schools would be taken up by the respective district collectors.

TSPSC chairman G Chakrapani said that recruitment for government teacher posts would be taken up as soon as the TET results are announced. He said that the government has given the details of district wise vacancies to the Commission.

Chakrapani said payment of fees can be made at TS Online or payment gateway from June 12 to 22. The TSTET Information Bulletin can be downloaded from June 12 onwards while the online submission of applications can be done from June 13 to June 23.
