What is the Assam TET?
The Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) checks whether a candidate meets the test requirement to apply for certain teacher jobs. Passing TET does not give a job by itself. Teacher recruitment is a separate process, and candidates must also meet the rules in that recruitment notice.
The details below are for the Special Assam TET 2026 cycle only. A future TET notice may have different language mediums, dates, eligibility, fees, or rules.
