Eligibility Criteria and Exam Structure

The AP TET is a mandatory qualifying examination for teacher appointments in Andhra Pradesh. Candidates must possess the required academic and professional qualifications to be eligible.

Educational Qualifications

Aspirants must generally possess a Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed), Bachelor of Education (B.Ed), or an equivalent qualification recognized by the NCTE. Candidates who are pursuing the final semester of any of these recognized Teacher Education Courses are also eligible to apply. Specific detailed requirements for each paper (Paper-1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B) are outlined in the Information Bulletin.

Exam Papers

The examination is divided into four papers based on the level of teaching a candidate aspires to:

• Paper-1A: For candidates intending to teach Classes I to V (Regular Schools).
• Paper-1B: For candidates intending to teach Classes I to V (Special Schools).
• Paper-2A: For candidates intending to teach Classes VI to VIII (Regular Schools).
• Paper-2B: For candidates intending to teach Classes VI to VIII (Special Schools).

Each paper consists of 150 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), carrying a total of 150 marks. Importantly, there is no negative marking for incorrect answers.

Minimum Qualifying Marks (Cut-Off)

Candidates must score the following minimum percentage of marks to be declared ‘TET Qualified’:

Category	Minimum Qualifying Percentage	Minimum Marks (Out of 150)
OC/EWS	60% and above	90 and above
BC	50% and above	75 and above
SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen	40% and above	60 and above

The AP TET certificate is now valid for a lifetime as per the latest NCTE norms. Furthermore, the AP TET score will carry a 20 per cent weightage in future Teacher Recruitment Tests (TRT) conducted by the state government, making a high score crucial for selection.
