Who Benefits from This Examination?
TG TET is for every candidate who wants to become a teacher in Telangana’s government or aided schools. Without qualifying TET, you cannot sit for teacher recruitment for Classes I to VIII. Candidates who have already qualified in an earlier TET can also apply again — the notification clearly allows previously qualified candidates to reappear to improve their scores.
Paper I or Paper II — Which Paper Should You Take?
| Paper | Classes | Total marks |
|---|---|---|
| Paper I | Classes I to V (Primary) | 150 marks |
| Paper II | Classes VI to VIII (Upper Primary) | 150 marks |
| Both papers | Classes I to VIII | 150 + 150 marks |
Both papers will be held as a Computer-Based Test (CBT). Each paper lasts 2 hours 30 minutes — morning session 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM, afternoon session 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
Who Can Apply for TG TET 2027?
Candidates holding D.El.Ed., D.Ed., B.Ed. or a Language Pandit qualification can apply, subject to the required percentage of marks and other conditions. Final-year students of the prescribed courses are also eligible. In-service teachers working in Government Schools, Local Body Schools, TGREIS, Government Welfare Societies Residential Schools, Telangana Model Schools, other Government Departments and Private Aided or Unaided Management Schools can also appear. Please note: the detailed subject-wise structure, marks distribution and percentage conditions will be in the Information Bulletin, available from 16 November 2026. Read it before applying. The detailed day-wise exam schedule will be announced separately; the hall ticket will carry the allotted date and shift.
What Is the Application Fee?
| Category | One paper | Both papers |
|---|---|---|
| General and BC | Rs 750 | Rs 1,000 |
| SC / ST / PwD | Rs 700 | Rs 950 |
The fee must be paid online between 16 November and 10 December 2026.
Qualifying Marks: How Much Do You Need to Score?

|---|---|---|
| General / EWS | 60% | 90 marks |
| BC | 50% | 75 marks |

How Long Is the Certificate Valid?
The TG TET qualifying certificate will remain valid for a lifetime, unless the Government of Telangana notifies otherwise. The TET score will also carry 20% weightage in the Teacher Recruitment Test conducted in Telangana. But be clear on one thing — qualifying TET does not automatically mean a teaching appointment. Final recruitment will follow the statutory rules prescribed by the State Government.
