It seems that the much talked about Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) to take place on June 12 has been welcomed by aspiring teachers, if the number of candidates who have registered for the test is anything to go by.
Secretary of State Examination Board, BC Solanki, said, "A whopping 1,10,882 candidates have registered for the exam. Out of them, 6,000 candidates are from Ahmedabad city and 5,012 from Ahmedabad rural."
This is the first time that the state education department has introduced Teachers Eligibility Test (TET). Clearing this test has been made mandatory for those seeking jobs as teachers in class I to VIII.
The highest number of candidates, 9,946, has been registered from Sabarkantha, while the lowest, 625 will appear for the state-level test from the Dangs.
Interestingly, all the 6,000 candidates registered from Ahmedabad city will appear for languages and no candidate from the city will appear for mathematics and science subjects. On the other hand, from the whole state, 12, 038 candidates are appearing to seek recruitment as math and science teacher.
For Ahmedabad city, there will be 16 buildings and 200 blocks where the 6,000 candidates of the city will take the test.
