In 2nd year of exam, just 1% clear TET paper
PUNE: The teacher eligibility test (TET) continues to stump candidates for the second year in a row. Only about 1% candidates from 2.45 lakh passed Paper I of TET, reflecting a 3.39% dip in pass percentage as compared to last year. In Paper II, 4.92% candidates of 1.54 lakh passed, registering a marginal dip of 1%.
As per the Right to Education (RTE) act, the TET score is essential for a candidate to be appointed as a teacher in Zilla Parishad and municipal schools as well as private institutions.
Maharashtra State Council of Examination commissioner said the result may have been poor as it was only the second year of the examination.
Paper I was for candidates aspiring for posts of primary teachers, whereas Paper II was for those wanting to be secondary school teachers. Some candidates, who already have jobs as teachers in government schools, have also appeared for the test. Each paper had 150 questions of one mark each. The examination was held on December 14 last year in three mediums — Marathi, English and Urdu.
V B Paymal, commissioner of the council, said, "It was the second year of the examination in the state. Hence, there is no older data for comparison except the last year. However, if the results of other states are compared, then the state results are more or less the same." The results were announced online on mahatet.in on Thursday.
In Paper I of English medium, only 13 candidates passed of the 4,035 who had enrolled. In Paper II, 48 candidates passed the exam of the 5,133 enrolled. In both papers, Marathi medium candidates registered a higher pass percentage.
Heramb Kulkarni, education expert, said, "The eligibility test conducted by the government is fairly new. We will need at least five years data in order to analyse the performance."
The successful candidates will now be eligible for recruitment while the rest will have to reattempt the paper.
Paymal said there will be no further debate on question paper or the answer key as the council had invited suggestions and objections from the people concerned. The final answer key was declared after considering their feedback, he said.
Paymal said an online application form can be filled by candidates if they felt any shortcomings in the results. The application forms could be sent by email to mahatethelp@gmail.com. The candidates who have cleared the exam will be eligible for recruitment and the eligibility certificate will be given by the education officer at a later date.
