ATET : 50% marks compulsory for appearing in TET: HC

ATET | ASSAM TET | TEACHER ELIGIBILITY TEST | TET News -

GUWAHATI: The Gauhati high court in an order upheld the state education department's decision of making 50 per cent marks in graduation compulsory for candidates to appear in the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for recruitment at the high school level.

Though the high court earlier in an interim order allowed eligible candidates even with less than 50 per cent marks in their graduation to apply for the TET examination following a prayer by the All Assam B.Ed Trained Unemployed Association, the high court in its final order upheld the state education ministry's decision.

The high court order came after the state's secondary education department said the new criteria for the high school teachers is a process to find better qualified teachers and was done according to an amendment in the Assam Secondary Education (provincialised services amendment) Rules.

The proposed TET exam for the high school teachers is slated to be held tentatively on the last week of February, 2013.

Earlier in the petition, the association had expressed its displeasure over the state education ministry's decision and demanded its withdrawal. Members of the association said in the B.Ed course, one is given training on all aspects of teaching.

"One is not only taught about teaching methodologies and child pedagogy, but is also given administrative skills. The B.Ed degree itself suggests that a person is fully qualified to teach in the high school level. Making TET compulsory will only lower the importance of the course," said the association president Ashiruddin Talukdar.

The association demanded that B.Ed qualified candidates should be exempted from writing TET, remove the basic 50 per cent criteria for appearing in TET and to raise the age limit from 38 years to 50 years for high school.

"Competitive examinations like IAS do not keep such criteria. Students securing less than 50 per cent in their graduation have qualified such competitive examinations," said a member of the association.

The association had sent memorandums to chief minister Tarun Gogoi and the state's education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

After SC order, it’s zealous recruitment phase

Appointment of teachers under RTE Act

By our Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, Feb 9: Bolstered by the Supreme Court’s directive setting aside a Gauhati High Court order to pave the way for recruiting more elementary school teachers in Assam, the State Government on Thursday announced that 40,800 teachers would be given appointments under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.

Addressing a press conference at the Secretariat here, State Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that it would be the biggest ever recruitment drive undertaken by a government department in the history of Assam. “On February 15, advertisement for the recruitments of 28,000 teachers at both the lower and upper primary levels will be published. Though the 28,000 posts are contractual, the salary structure, other benefits and number of leave days will be the same as that of the regular posts,’’ he said, adding: “Advertisement for the 12,800 regular posts will be published on April 15.”

The High Court, in its March 5, 2010 ruling, had imposed a ban on “further recruitment of teachers in upper and lower primary schools of the State, be it on regular, ad-hoc or contractual basis”. An apex court bench of Justice Deepak Verma and Justice KS Radhakrishnan lifted the ban on a petition by the Assam Government contending that it was making it difficult to run schools.

Sarma further stated that the candidates who had passed the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) held recently should submit their job application forms online and a candidate could appear in the interview for the teacher’s post in four to five districts. “The interview process for the 28,000 posts will begin from March 15 and the appointment will be given before Rongali Bihu. By May 30, the appointments for the 12,800 posts will be completed,’’ he said, adding: “The selection of candidates will be based on merit that also includes the candidates’ TET and HS percentages and viva.”

Proper implementation of the RTE Act in Assam has raised the demand of recruitment of more teachers and setting up of more schools in the State. “A total of 95,000 teachers are required to properly implement the RTE Act in the State as the Act demands one lower primary school within1-kilometer radius and one upper primary school within 3-kilometer radius all over the State. We are now carrying out a survey to find out the number of new schools required to be set up in the State,” said Sarma.

Currently 565 contractual posts of teachers are lying vacant in Baska district, 2,000 in Barpeta district, 603 in Bongaigaon district, 2000 in Cachar district, 446 in Chirang district, 1100 in Darrang district, 1000 in Dhemaji district, 3,447 in Dhubri district, 760 in Dibrugarh district, 366 in Dima Hasao district, 1,700 in Goalpara district, 750 in Golaghat district, 838 in Hailakandi district, 672 in Jorhat district, 1,108 in both Kamrup district and Kamrup (Metro) district, 1,700 in Karbi Anglong district, 1,900 in Karimganj district, 1,100 in Kokrajhar district, 842 in Lakhimpur district, 1,500 in Morigaon district, 3,000 in Nagaon district, 300 in Nalbari district, 600 in Sivasagar district, 1,521 in Sonitpur district, 800 in Tinsukia district and 600 in Udalguri district.

Databank of Teachers

According to the Statistics of School Education (2009-10), the total number of teachers in the country from pre-primary to senior secondary is 67.23 lakh. To meet the Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) norms specified under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, the Government has sanctioned 8.17 lakh additional teachers posts between 2010 and 2012 under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) 

The Government has taken several steps for preparing and providing quality teachers. The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Teacher Education for the XII Plan envisages establishment of District Institutes of Education and Training in all districts created upto March, 2011 and of Block Institutes of Teacher Education for expanding capacity of teacher preparation. The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) grants recognition to institutions for starting programmes of teacher education. Several State Governments have also taken steps to expand teacher preparation capacity. In pursuance of the RTE Act, the NCTE has laid down the minimum teacher qualifications, including the requirement of passing the Teacher Eligibility Test as an essential qualification for being eligible for appointment as a teacher. Under the Sarva Shisksha Abhiyan, financial assistance is provided to the State Governments to enable the teachers of class I-VIII not possessing the minimum qualifications to acquire the same by 2015, and for training of in-service teachers for improving quality. 

This information was given by Dr. D. Purandeswari, Minister of State for Human Resource Development in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.

ATET : Second phase of TET appointments held

ATET : Second phase of TET appointments held

ASSAM Teacher Eligibility Test News : -
GUWAHATI: The second phase of appointing teachers who passed the Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET) took place at Sarusajai Stadium on Sunday. Altogether 14,640 candidates were appointed.

Earlier on May 20, 26,110 candidates were appointed for the lower primary (LP) and middle english (ME) schools in the first phase. The TET examination was held on January 10 this year for the first time.

While distributing the appointment letters to the candidates, chief minister Tarun Gogoi said, "The success of the TET examination and the appointment of teachers in such a large number depended a lot on the co-operation of the Centre too and I thank the Centre for their support."

"The idea was to bring in more qualified teachers who can teach methodically so that the students benefit from it. Besides that, we also want to bring a change in the curriculum and include more vocational subjects which will help students get a job," he said.

The education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said after the success of the TET examination for LP and ME schools, TET examination will also be held to appoint teachers in high schools on December 9.

"This is a great success as after 2001, there hasn't been any teachers' recruitment in such a large number. We will conduct another TET examination on December 9 to recruit teachers in the high school level," he said.

"The next phase of appointments was scheduled to take place on September 9, but we preponed it to August 12 as our main aim was to provide teachers in schools where they are required," he added. The TET qualified teachers would also get a special diploma in education training (D.ed), the minister said.

It may be mentioned that there are over 8,000 schools with a single teacher and 12,000 with two teachers in the state. LS Changsen, mission director of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA) said, "There are thousands of schools with just one or two teachers, so we need more teachers to go to the remote areas."

Shiksha Mitra are Warned NOT to PROTEST TET Exam and Appointment of TET Qualified candidates

ATET : Sarma warns against TET protests

Assam Teacher Eligibility Test News :
Guwahati, June 8: Dispur today issued a subtle warning to schoolteachers opposing the appointment of TET-qualified teachers by asking them to fall in line or see their institutions close down by January under the Right to Education (RTE) Act guidelines.

Education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said he saw no reason why siksha mitras in some areas should oppose the appointment of Teachers Eligibility Test-qualified teachers as the Supreme Court had ruled on May 8 that nobody could be appointed as teachers without qualifying TET after 2001.

Siksha mitras were appointed on contract basis by the Axom Sarba Siksha Abhijan to run centres under the education guarantee scheme and have been demanding regularisation of their services. There are now around 6,000 siksha mitras.

“Under the circumstances, regularising their services would be violating the court’s order and the RTE Act. If they can get a ruling in their favour, I will abide by it. But it is my humble submission that they allow the TET teachers to join or else we will have to issue a notification by January to close down schools violating RTE regulations. This opposition is inimical to the interests of students. We are going strictly by the RTE regulations,” Sarma said.

The minister was responding to protests in the rural and interior areas by teachers and local residents against TET-qualified teachers, a few of whom were injured in attacks in Karbi Anglong when they went to join duty. Nearly 1,500 of the 26,000 teachers who have been given appointment letters are yet to join duty because of the protests.


“I did not want to reveal this but a good many of those opposing the TET appointees are not even matriculates. But we are ready to hold a special TET for them since they are affected by the ongoing reforms. We are not for confrontation, we only want them to be reasonable,” Sarma said. He said preparations for holding TET for Madhyamik schools have started (see chart). Around 8,000 permanent and contractual teachers will be appointed to high and higher secondary schools. “The cabinet gave its approval yesterday. Though there are exemptions, those with MEd, BEd and BT degrees will get additional marks, as those with NCC certificates. Everything remaining equal, we could be the first state in the country to hold TET for Madhyamik,” he said.

The cabinet has also decided to extend the services of government teachers who bag national awards by two years and those who win state awards by one year. “The number of state awards will be restricted to 27 a year,” he added.

ATET : 26000 begin new chapter in life as teachers

Assam Teacher Eligibity Test News :
GUWAHATI: State education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that teachers will not have to approach politicians for jobs anymore. He was speaking at the ceremony where appointment letters were handed over to thousands of candidates who had succeeded to clear the Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET). Almost a year after announcement of TET, around 26,100 applicants who had appeared for the statewide exams received their engagement letters.

Thousands of successful candidates from across the state turned up at the National Stadium in the outskirts of the city to collect their letters of engagement for the posts of assistant teachers under the Sharba Shiksha Abhigyan for lower and upper primary schools of the state.


"This is the dawn of a change in the history of the state. Aspiring teachers from Dhubri to Sadiya will no longer have to knock on the doors of politicians to book a slot for the post of a teacher. Our plans were criticized in different spheres, but now after one year all I can say is that it is only through optimism that Assam can be uplifted," said Sarma.

He added that TET was not the end of the road for the state government and the initiative was made to give justice to scores of people who have been given a raw deal in the past. The main objective needs to be focused on the students who have been left in the lurch for a long time. The minister also urged the newly appointed teachers to instill a spirit of knowledge amongst students and take their jobs seriously for the benefit of society. TET was announced last year with a view to fill the gap in primary education that arose due to the dearth of teachers. Exams were held in various centres across the state in January and thousands of candidates appeared for it.

Chief minister Tarun Gogoi said: "Education is an important factor in our society and we must take proper initiatives keeping this in our perspective. This is a great and historic day for us as one community, and keeping this in mind the teachers should make sure that justice is meted out to the students." Also present at the ceremony were Rekibuddin Ahmed, parliamentary secretary of education, B K Das, director of elementary education and L S Chansing, mission commissioner of Assam Sarbha Siksha Abhijan.

Assam mulls teachers’ test - Move aimed at quality teaching

Assam Govt. going to conduct teaching aptitude test for newly appointed teachers to maintain quality, those who fails this test will be given voluntary retirement.


Why for new teachers, Why not for all teachers and officers and for all.
Quality is required at every stage, and those who are involved any type of corruption should be out from Government service and same should be adopted for politicians as well.



Guwahati, May 19: The Assam education department has decided to conduct evaluation test for all newly appointed schoolteachers to maintain quality teaching.

Education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said only those who pass the test, which will cover aptitude, ethics, sincerity and innovative teaching skills, will be allowed to continue in service. Those who fail to clear the test will be given voluntary retirement.

“In the proposed test, marks will be allotted to teachers who maintain a positive attitude towards teaching. Marks will also be given on the basis of feedback given by students and parents on teachers’ involvement in teaching. Teachers who maintain ethics by not involving themselves with any political party and other non-academic activities will also be given marks,” Sarma said.

The education department said the proposal would be placed before the cabinet within 10 to 15 days. Once approved, it will amend the service rules for teachers.

Sarma said if the cabinet approves the proposal, Assam would become the first state in the country to conduct such test for teachers.

A teacher will have to appear for the test thrice during his or her service tenure. The first test would be conducted on completion of five years, the second after seven years and the last one after 12 years, he added.

“The sole objective of conducting such a test is to spot the teachers who are reluctant and not dedicated to their profession. The government does not want teachers to join the profession just to earn a livelihood. Teaching is a profession where one needs to be passionate and dedicated. The move is to do away with reluctance to teach sincerely,” Sarma said.

He said there were several instances of schoolteachers giving classes a miss for politics and unionism and this adversely affected the education system in the state.

The announcement comes a day before 26,109 candidates, who have cleared the Teachers’ Eligibility Test (TET), will get their appointment letters at a function to be attended by chief minister Tarun Gogoi at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium at Sarusajai Sports Complex here.

Sarma said this would be the first time that such a huge number of teachers would be appointed in the state through an “extremely transparent” process.

He said there were 28,213 vacant posts of teachers in lower primary and upper primary schools in the state but only 26,109 candidates would be recruited because of non-availability of eligible candidates for appointment in schools in the Sixth Schedule districts of the state.

The government will spend Rs 419.15 crore annually to pay salaries to these teachers. While the Centre will bear 75 per cent of the expenditure, the state will bear the rest.

GUWAHATI, May 16: At long last, candidates who have cleared the Teachers’ Eligibility Test (TET) now have a reason to rejoice. The Assam Government will recruit 26,100 teachers in schools across the State, including the Sixth Schedule districts, and appointment letters will be issued to the candidates on May 20.

This was announced by State Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma at a press conference in Guwahati on Wednesday. This recruitment drive has been vaunted by the minister as the first mass recruitment drive in the history of Assam.

The appointment letters will be handed over to the candidates by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi at a ceremonial distribution function to be held at the Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati. “The final list of the successful candidates is available on the websites www.ssaassam.gov.in and www.tetassam.com. The 26,100 candidates will be recruited on a contractual basis. The Centre will bear 75 per cent of their salaries while the State Government will bear the remaining 25 per cent. Of the 26,100 teachers, 18,257 will be appointed in lower primary schools while the remaining will be appointed in upper primary schools,” said Sarma.

He also said that the Central Government had sanctioned another 25,000 posts of teachers in Assam and the recruitment process for these posts would start within the next three months.

“In the appointment letter that will be issued on May 20, the district in which the respective candidates have been appointed will be mentioned. From June 1 to June 5, there will be an orientation programme for the candidates. This programme will be conducted district-wise, and during this period the Deputy Commissioners of the respective districts will give each candidate the name of the schools where he/she has to serve,” said Sarma.  He further said, “Candidates will have to collect their own appointment letters on May 20. If anyone cannot do so due to some genuine reason, he will have to inform the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan head office by submitting an application.”

The minister reiterated that the candidates would be appointed in rural and interior areas. “Under no circumstance will these jobs be transferred to urban areas,” he said.

An academic inspector will be appointed for every 15 schools in a district to monitor and evaluate the performance and activities of the teachers who will be appointed soon.

“Till the Right to Education (RTE) Act exists in the country, these jobs will be there,” said Sarma, and added, “Due to insufficient candidates, 2,114 posts in the Sixth Schedule areas are lying vacant.”

Regarding the appointment of teachers to permanent posts, the minister said that the State Education Department had taken up the issue with the State Finance Department.

Guwahati, May 16: All the 26,109 candidates who have cleared the Teachers’ Eligibility Test (TET) will get their appointment letters on Sunday.

Their names, along with the district where they will be posted, will be uploaded on the websites of TET and Axom Sarba Siksha Abhijan Mission at 6pm today, Assam education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said today. This is the first time such a huge number of teachers are being appointed in the state through an “extremely transparent” process, he added.

The appointment letters will be distributed at a function to be attended by chief minister Tarun Gogoi at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in the Sarusajai Sports Complex here, Sarma said.

The candidates will have to collect the letters personally by showing their original TET pass certificates-cum-marksheets. If someone cannot be present in person, he or she will have to make prior application to the Axom Sarba Siksha Abhijan Mission and their letters will be sent to them by post, he added.


Sarma said there were 28,213 vacant posts of teachers in lower primary and upper primary schools in the state but only 26,109 candidates would be recruited because of non-availability of eligible candidates for appointment in schools in the Sixth Schedule districts of the state.

The government has decided not to appoint candidates from other districts in schools in the Sixth Schedule districts because of protests from some quarters.

Of the 26,109 candidates, 18,257 will be appointed to lower primary schools and 2,120 for maths and science and 5,732 for social science in upper primary schools.

Sarma said orientation camps for these candidates would be held at the district headquarters from June 1 to 5. After the counselling, the district administration will decide who will be posted in which school based on their aptitude. Female candidates will not be posted in remote or interior areas, he added.

Sarma made it clear that the posts were available in schools in rural areas only and, therefore, there would be no transfer to urban areas.

According to him, the move is a step towards strengthening and improving the quality of education in the state in compliance with the Right to Education Act, 2009.

Besides, for every 15 schools in the state, one academic inspector will be appointed by September this year to monitor the functioning of the schools.

These inspectors, who will be selected from the TET-passed candidates, will be provided computers so that they can immediately file their inspection reports, which will be monitored by the state education department.

ATET : SC clears 95,000 Assam teachers' recruitment

The Supreme Court today quashed a Gauhati High Court order thus paving the way for the recruitment of more than 95,000 school teachers in the state. The High Court, in its January 25 ruling, had allowed recruitment of 12800 teachers in lower and upper primary schools.

"The Assam Government appealed before the apex court and said that the around 95000 posts are lying vacant of which 28000 can be recruited now," said Education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The apex court stayed the High Court order contending that the limit will cause difficulties in the running of schools.

Appearing for the Assam government, Attorney General Ashok Desai told the court that the state government needed teachers in elementary schools to fulfil the mandate of compulsory education under the Right to Education Act. He said the absence of teachers could lead to the closure of a large number of such institutions.

Sarma said "since 2001, the appointment was stopped leading to closure of some schools. I will term the judgement as victory of students and we will appoint 12800 as regular teachers and another 28000 as contractual teachers."

Assam TET / ATET : Teachers’ Eligibility Test site disabled after list confusion

Assam TET / ATET : Teachers’ Eligibility Test site disabled after list confusion

GUWAHATI: The Teachers' Eligibility Test ( TET) has run into rough weather after the website containing the names of candidates was disabled following confusion in the list.

Now, the entire procedure would be manual. The final list will be out after Bihu.

Earlier, the final list was supposed to be out on March 31. Although the list would now be out on the same date, it will be considered as the second provisional list.

The provisional list of candidates was out on March 26.

On March 27 and 28, the candidates were supposed to fill up the names of the final district out of the three which they had put as options. But, the website being an automatic one, the moment a candidate cancels the two optional districts, the position of the candidates name gets updated automatically.

So, if a candidate chooses a wrong option and wants to correct it later, they cannot access their name in the list again. This system seemed confusing to most of the candidates. So, the committee decided to disable the website for the time being.

Explaining the situation, state education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said "The list changes each time a candidate cancels the optional districts. People said they were getting confused; therefore we decided to disable the website temporarily."

He added, "The website would now be a manual one, where candidates have to log in to check their names. They can lodge complaints till April 10. Other than that, the candidates would now have the option of going to the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA) office and lodge their complaint. They can also do so by registered post."

Though the deadline of the final list is supposed to be April 10, the minister said if it is seen that the complaint list of the candidates is long, then a few more days would be given and the list would be out after Bihu.

Bihu committees urge CM to ban liquor sale on four days of festival

Guwahati: Bihu celebration committees in the city have jointly urged chief minister Tarun Gogoi to declare the four days of Rongali Bihu, which begins on April 13, as dry days in the state.

The co-ordination committee, named Brihattor Guwahati Bihu Sanmilanee Samannay Rakhi Samiti met the chief minister and state cultural affairs minister Pranati Phukan on Wednesday and submitted their memorandum.

The newly floated co-ordination committee comprising 17 organizing committees said the city wants a nuisance-free Bihu celebration this year.

Expressing hope that the chief minister would consider the committees' request to ban sale of liquor across the state during the four days of Rongali Bihu, general secretary of the committee, Pranab Goswami on Thursday said, "Liquor is the prime cause of nuisances created by some sections during Rongali Bihu programmes.

These people create a chaos during Bihu functions after getting drunk."

He said the co-ordination committee will launch a campaign appealing to people to abjure tobacco-related products and liquor during Rongali Bihu. "We have also appealed to the chief minister to ensure that buses run by the Assam State Transport Corporation ply on city roads till 12 at night from April 13 to 16 so that people can return home from one part of the city to another after watching Bihu functions. Our co-ordination committee will also talk to the motor transport associations and urge them to run private buses till midnight," Goswami added.

In a memorandum submitted before chief minister Tarun Gogoi, the co-ordination committee also urged the Assam government to invite folk cultural groups from other parts of Assam and outside through its directorate of culture to perform during Bihu.

The committee further urged the government to stop trucks from plying inside Guwahati from 7 pm to 5 am for the convenience of the commuters and instruct the district administration and police to keep strict vigil during Bihu.
