Relaxation in Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)- Cheer to
candidates
The Tamil Nadu government announced on Monday, 3rd February 2014
that the minimum qualifying marks for the reserved categories in the Teacher
Eligibility Test (TET) for SC/ST, BC, BC (Muslims), MBC and denotified
communities and the differently-abled is the minimum pass
percentage of 55%. This concession is given with retrospective effect and is
applicable to candidates who appeared in the August 2013 test as well. Passing
the TET is the minimum qualification for appointment as teachers for classes 1
to 8.
No doubt this decision taken by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Ms. J.
Jayalalithaa at the suggestion of the MMK MLA Mr. M.H. Jawahirullah and PT MLA
Mr. K. Krishnasamy should have brought much cheer to the candidates who
appeared in the August 2013 test.
However in the coming teacher eligibility tests we hope candidates whatever may be their
castes or creeds will secure as high marks as possible and prove
that they are capable of improving the quality and standard of education. .
"Really it is a good piece of news material Khaleel Bahai. Congratulations to TET candidates. But as you have rightly suggested all the reserved candidates irrespective of caste and creed in general and the Muslim candidates in particular should work hard and secure higher marks rather than attaining the minimal 55 percentage of marks and satisfy with it. There is a report that most of the Muslim candidates had not been able to pass the TET, conducted earlier and the passing out was next to nil."
