# BEd candidates get TGT relief as pre-2011 mark rule dropped

Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

The state government has accepted the demand of the Rashtriya BEd Sangharsh Manch to exempt BEd candidates who completed their degree before 2011 from the mandatory 50 per cent marks requirement at the graduate level in TGT recruitment. The commission has issued a letter to this effect. State patron Saurabh Jain said the November 2019 gazette clearly provided this exemption, yet it was not applied in the current recruitment. The forum had continuously protested through letters, emails and social media to the education directorate and the commission. Meanwhile, forum leader Yashpal Singh has demanded that the exam date be extended in the interest of candidates.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The order removes a qualification barrier that had excluded a specific cohort of BEd holders from TGT recruitment. For candidates who completed BEd before 2011, the 50 per cent graduation-marks requirement no longer applies, potentially widening the eligible pool. The issue arose because the 2019 gazette provision was not reflected in the current recruitment, forcing the forum to escalate through multiple channels. Yashpal Singh’s separate demand to postpone the exam date indicates procedural deadlines remain a point of friction. Neither the commission nor the education directorate has responded publicly to that request, leaving its fate unresolved.
