ASSAM TET: 50% marks compulsory for appearing in TET

GUWAHATI: The Gauhati high court in an order upheld the state education department's decision of making 50 per cent marks in graduation compulsory for candidates to appear in the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for recruitment at the high school level.

Though the high court earlier in an interim order allowed eligible candidates even with less than 50 per cent marks in their graduation to apply for the TET examination following a prayer by the All Assam B.Ed Trained Unemployed Association, the high court in its final order upheld the state education ministry's decision.
