Mon Nov 04 14:22:17 UTC 2024: ## Telangana Announces Dates for Second Teacher Eligibility Test in a Year
**HYDERABAD, November 4, 2024** – The Telangana government has announced the dates for the second Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) in 2024, following a recommendation by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). The TET-2024-II will be conducted online from January 1st to 20th, 2025, as a computer-based test.
Aspiring teachers can apply for the test starting November 5th and continuing until November 20th. The detailed notification will be available on the official website: https://schooledu.telangana.gov.in/.
This is the first time the TET will be conducted twice in a single year, aiming to provide greater flexibility and opportunities for aspiring teachers. Candidates can take the test multiple times without any restriction, and those who have already qualified can retake it to improve their scores. The TET qualifying certificate will remain valid for life for appointment purposes.
The government’s decision comes after the March 2024 TET saw over 2.86 lakh registrations, with approximately 57,700 candidates qualifying for paper-I and 51,400 qualifying for paper-II.
The initiative to hold two TETs per year is a direct response to the NCTE’s recommendation. This move is expected to benefit aspiring teachers by offering them more opportunities to qualify for teaching positions in the state.
