PIB Fact Check Confirms Fake Memorandum on Teacher Eligibility Test Review
The Ministry of Education, through PIB Fact Check, has debunked a fake office memorandum circulating online that falsely claimed the government planned a comprehensive review of the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) framework. The fabricated document outlined proposed changes including eligibility criteria revisions and legislative amendments, which the government and the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) have denied. Authorities urge the public to rely on official sources and report suspicious content to prevent misinformation among teaching aspirants and educators.
