Madhya Pradesh Plans Supreme Court Petition for TET Exemption for 2005-09 Recruited Teachers
The Madhya Pradesh School Education Department plans to file a fresh Supreme Court petition seeking exemption from the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for about 70,000 teachers recruited between 2005 and 2009 through Vyapam-conducted exams. The petition argues these teachers cleared state-administered recruitment tests and should not be required to pass TET, despite the Supreme Court's directive mandating TET clearance or retirement for teachers with over five years of service. The court extended the compliance deadline to August 31, 2028.
