The announcement comes shortly after the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) 2023 results were released on September 24. Out of 2,73,147 candidates, only 6,754 (2.47%) qualified.
Meanwhile, some candidates who qualified TET 2022 recently staged a protest, alleging that around 50,000 teaching posts remain vacant in primary and upper primary schools. The minister, however, dismissed the claim, clarifying that the board would soon issue a notification covering all existing vacancies.
