TS TET 2024: The application deadline for Teacher Eligibility Test (TS TET) will end today (April 20). As per the earlier announced schedule, the deadline was to expire on April 10. However, due to very few applications and appeals from the candidates to extend the deadline, the Education Department has extended the deadline by ten days (up to April 20).
Applications are less…
More than 3 lakh candidates applied for TET held last year in Telangana. Currently, only 1.90 lakh applications have been received till April 10. Due to this, the government extended the deadline. This time the government thought that those who write DSC along with those who are looking for teacher promotion will also write TET. It is expected that the applications will be huge. But, compared to the past, this time has decreased. It is reported that only 2.20 lakh applications have been received till April 20. Officials say that there is no possibility of extending the deadline again.
Effect of fee hike
Tet fee used to be Rs.300 only. This time the fees have been increased to Rs.1000. As a result, candidates who have already qualified are not interested in applying this time. On the other hand, since the DSC notification has come, many people have focused on it. Ignore Tet.
Teachers who are not interested..
Even though the teachers thought they would apply, they did not show much interest. In view of the fact that TET is mandatory for promotions, the teachers are demanding that TET should be conducted separately for them. It is implicitly accepted that you cannot take the exam now with the studies you have studied. In this context, it goes without saying that they cannot compete with the current candidates.
Edit option on website..
The Education Department has provided an opportunity for the candidates who have already applied to modify their application. If there are any mistakes in the applications, it is suggested to correct them. For this, the education department officials said that they have brought an edit option on the website. It is mentioned that the deadline for edit option will also end on 20th. After editing and submitting once, there is an opportunity to edit again.
Competition for DSP..
Officials say that even though the number of applications for TET is low, the competition for DSC will also be high. Already during the notification given by the previous government, more than 3 lakh applications have been received. Officials expect another 2 lakh applications to increase with the latest revision notification. Many people say that they don't apply for TET because they have already qualified in TET.
