UP panel proposes dropping TET rule for BPEd TGT applicants
The Story in Brief
The Uttar Pradesh Shiksha Seva Chayan Ayog has written to the state government proposing to remove the compulsory Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) requirement for BPEd degree holders applying for 849 physical education teacher (TGT) posts in aided colleges. The move, if approved, would benefit over three lakh candidates.
The letter was sent to the additional chief secretary (basic and secondary education). The commission has recommended amending the eligibility criteria to exempt BPEd graduates from TET. A decision by the state government is now awaited.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The commission has accepted that BPEd graduates face an unfair barrier. Shifting the TET requirement now rests with the state government. If approved, over three lakh candidates will become eligible for 849 posts, a ratio that guarantees intense competition in the next selection round. The government’s reply will decide whether the relief is real or deferred.
