Hyderabad: A total of 6,26,928 candidates registered for the Telangana State Teacher Eligibility Test (TS TET) 2022 till the last count on Tuesday.

According to the State Council of Educational Research and Training, of the total, 3,50,205 candidates applied for the paper-I and 2,76,723 for paper-II of the test.

The TS TET 2022 is scheduled to be conducted on June 12 in 33 districts. The paper-I will be held from 9.30 am to 12 noon and paper-II from 2.30 pm to 5 pm.

The paper-I is conducted for candidates who intend to be teachers for Classes I to V and paper-II is



for candidates who intend to be teachers for Classes VI to VIII. Candidates who intend to be teachers for all Classes from I to VIII should appear for both papers.

The government has recently extended the validity of the TET certificates for life. The TET scores are given 20 per cent weightage in the Teacher Recruitment Test in the State. 

However, merely qualifying the TET will not confer a right on any person for recruitment/employment as it is only one of the eligibility criteria for appointment of teachers in the schools.
