Guidelines for conducting Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)

Guidelines for conducting Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)
Background and Rationale
The 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.
2 In accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 23 of the Right of
Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, the National Council for
Teacher Education (NCTE) has laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be
eligible for appointment as a teacher in class I to VIII, vide its Notification dated August 23,
2010. A copy of the Notification is attached at Annexure 1. One of the essential
qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in any of the schools
referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is that he/she should pass the Teacher
Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conducted by the appropriate Government.
3 The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be
eligible for appointment as a teacher is as under:
i. It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the
recruitment process;
ii. It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these
institutions to further improve their performance standards;
iii. It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays
special emphasis on teacher quality

designated by the appropriate Government for the purpose. It will be conducted in

World’s first double leg transplant carried out in Spain

 A Spanish medical team has carried out the world's first double leg transplant, hospital sources said in the eastern city of Valencia.
The young patient could not use prostheses, making a transplant the only alternative to him spending his life in a wheelchair, medical team leader Pedro Cavadas said earlier.


The operation was authorised in May 2010, but the medical team needed to wait for a donor. The operation, which lasted an entire night, was performed at Valencia's La Fe hospital. Cavadas has also previously carried out face and arm transplants.
