Madhya Pradesh and Nagaland Implement Supreme Court-Directed TET Requirements for Teachers
Madhya Pradesh and Nagaland are implementing Supreme Court directives requiring in-service teachers to qualify the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). Madhya Pradesh plans a fresh TET in October, affecting over 75,000 teachers who had previously cleared the exam, while Nagaland mandates TET qualification by August 2028 for teachers appointed before and after the 2009 RTE Act. Nagaland's directive includes compulsory retirement for those who fail to qualify within the deadline, with exceptions based on remaining service and promotion eligibility.
