# Gujarat TAT Higher Secondary exam rescheduled to 12 April 2026-10-03T00:42:53+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Gujarat's State Examination Board has revised the date for the Teacher Aptitude Test (Higher Secondary) 2026, moving the preliminary exam from 29 March to 12 April 2026 to avoid a clash with the Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GUJCET). The application window, which opened on 5 February and closed on 19 February, has already ended. The mains exam is tentatively scheduled for May 2026. Candidates who have already registered need not reapply, all other terms of the original notification remain unchanged. The test is mandatory for anyone seeking teaching posts in Classes 11 and 12 at government, grant-in-aid, and private higher secondary schools in Gujarat. Successful candidates will be placed on a state-level merit list and become eligible for upcoming teacher recruitment drives by the Gujarat Education Department. The application fee is Rs 500 for general category candidates and Rs 400 for SC/ST/SEBC/EWS/PH. The TAT-HS score remains valid until the next TAT is conducted. Candidates are advised to check the official OJAS portal for further updates. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The date change removes a major scheduling conflict for candidates who would otherwise have had to choose between TAT-HS and GUJCET on 29 March. With the application window already closed, the focus now shifts to the revised preliminary exam on 12 April and the tentative mains in May. Candidates who completed OTR registration will have their data saved for future vacancies, but those who missed the February deadline cannot apply this cycle. ## Coverage - adda247.com Straight information bulletin, no slant or editorialising.
