MP Extends Teacher Eligibility Test Deadline, Considers Offline Exam Option
The Madhya Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) application deadline has been extended to September 18 due to low response, with corrections allowed until September 20. Approximately 7,500 teachers have applied out of an estimated 1.5 lakh eligible candidates. Following demands from teachers' associations, the state is considering an offline exam option to accommodate those uncomfortable with computers. While associations have requested a waiver of the Rs 1,000 exam fee, no decision has been made yet. The test is conducted in compliance with a Supreme Court order.
