The government has decided to extend the validity period of the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) qualifying certificate from 7 years to lifetime with retrospective effect from 2011, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' announced today. "This will be a positive step in increasing the employment opportunities for candidates aspiring to make a career in the teaching field," Mr Pokhriyal said.

He further said that the respective state government and union territories will take necessary action to revalidate or issue fresh TET certificates to those candidates whose period of 7 years has already elapsed.

This change has been made to the guidelines dated February 11, 2011 of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) which laid down that TET would be conducted by the state governments and the validity of the TET Certificate was 7 years from the date of passing TET.

Teachers Eligibility Test is one of the essential qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in schools.

Earlier, though the validity of the TET pass certificate was for 7 years, there was no restriction on the number of attempts a person can take for acquiring a certificate. A person who has qualified in the exam was allowed to appear again to improve score.

While states conduct their own TET, the Central TET or the CTET is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)

National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) has granted its approval to the extension of validity of CTET and TET Certificate to lifetime. Earlier, the Certificate of TET or CTET exam was valid up to 7 years. The decision in this regard was taken during the 50th Meeting of the NCTE's General Body that was held on September 29, 2020. The Council discussed several issues during the meeting and one of the main topics of discussion was the issue of extension of Validity of Teacher Eligibility Test to lifetime from seven years. The decision could be a relief for candidates who have already obtained the CTET Certificate or TET Certificate and could not apply for teacher recruitment due to expiry of its validity after 7 years.

The NCTE Guidelines dated February 11, 2011 laid down that the TET will be conducted by the State Governments and the TET Certificate validity was 7 years from the date of passing TET. Qualifying the CTET or TET is one of the essential qualifications for candidates to be eligible for an appointment as a teacher in schools.

Earlier in October 2020, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) had proposed to extend the validity of CTET and TET certificate to lifetime. The decision was taken during the 50th Meeting of the NCTE's General Body.

What does the TET Validity Extension imply?

The extension of validity implies that the candidates who have qualified the CTET exam or state TET exam once and obtained the eligibility certificate will not be required to reappear again in their lifetime. However, those who want to improve their TET scores can appear again for the exam.
