Telangana State Teacher Eligibility Test 2016/TS TET 2016 Notification/TET OR TERT!...After Teachers Transfers completion all are eagerly waiting for DSC Notification. But our educational minister Mr. Kadiyam Srihari announced that there is no any teacher recruitment now, but after this rationalization, transfer there are 974 vacancies so, he announced these posts will be filled by next June.  But here is dilemma that to conduct TET or TERT (Teacher Eligibility cum Recruitment Test) Already from 2011 TET is well known for us. But many people’s opinion is  that already these candidates gets through entrance test of required course, final exams for 2 years, and now is it necessary of this test?

Now it is the time to respond but after the high court judgement this will come to conclusion.
They are thinking to conduct TERT as 2 papers paper -1, paper -2 (one TET, other TERT).If it is not possible to conduct them separately . But conducting of both the exams same day is not correct according NCTE rules. Some of the candidates appealed high court on this, and it will be finalized after judgement only.
