The Assam government has released the notification for a Special Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) 2026 to address a shortage of teachers in regional language mediums like Bodo, Garo, Manipuri, and Hmar. Applications are open online until February 7 for positions teaching Grades 1-5 and 6-8. Eligibility requires permanent residency in Assam and specific educational qualifications, with fees varying by category. This exam serves as an eligibility test, not a job guarantee.
