The students will be able to get the syllabus of this examination from March 28 onwards.

           To participate in the examination, a candidate should have atleast 60% marks in BEd and there is a slab of minimum marks for reserved class. Two types of eligibility will be decided through the test. The first category is for primary teachers and the second will be for teaching in middle classes.

        Just after the NCTE made the TET examination compulsory for getting the job of a teacher in school, the state government has made the education board as a nodal agency to conduct the eligibility examination. The students who pass this exam will be eligible to become teachers in government schools.
