NCTE Denies Issuing Fake Notice on TGT Recruitment Eligibility CriteriaPreviousNext

The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) has warned candidates about a fake notice circulating on social media that falsely claims new eligibility criteria for Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) recruitment. The fraudulent document states that candidates must have a valid Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) certificate and at least 50 marks in graduation to qualify. NCTE clarified via its official X account that it did not issue this notice and urged candidates to rely only on official communications for accurate information.
