The Uttar Pradesh government has made the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) mandatory for the first time in the recruitment of Assistant Teachers (TGT) in recognised and non-government aided secondary schools. The secondary education department has issued the revised qualification for the recruitment.

In a letter to the secretary of the UP Education Service Selection Commission, the government said the decision to include TET as a qualification for the TGT post has been taken. The commission has been asked to include the new requirement in its subsequent recruitment notifications.
The decision makes TET a compulsory filter for aided-school TGT hires, a requirement that was previously absent. Aspirants who have not cleared TET will be ineligible to apply. The commission must now revise its advertisement to reflect the new condition. The next recruitment notification will show how the change affects the candidate pool.
