Rajasthan State Teacher Eligibility Test 2013-14 for Engagement of Teachers in Primary and Secondary Levels
The Government of India has confirmed that Right of Child for Compulsory and Free Primary Education is a vital requirement and accordingly has framed certain guidelines to ensure the Right of the Child. According to this announcement, the GOI envisages to maintain uniform standards of education in all levels of education in the country. The candidates, who will be joining as teachers, should possess minimum academic qualifications and must obtain required eligibility through a comprehensive eligibility test specifically conducted for the purpose of obtaining eligibility for appointment as teachers. Accordingly NCTE (national Council for Teacher Education), New Delhi has laid down norms for Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for each state.
In line with this decision from the NCTE, each State conducts their specific State Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). The Rajasthan State Secondary Education Board has been entrusted to act as the permanent Nodal Agency and conduct TET for ensuring selection of competent candidates for Teaching Jobs in schools at two basic standards of education (i.e. Class-I to Class-V and Class-VI to Class-VIII).
