No TET needed for minority institutions: HC

Court says test isn't a qualification, minority schools across state free to follow their own selection criteria.

The teachers eligibility test (TET) is no longer mandatory for minority schools. The Bombay High Court's Aurangabad bench has decried that minority schools in Maharashtra are now free to follow their own selection processes for teachers' appointment.

While hearing the case of a local minority school teacher's appointment being challenged by the state authorities for not having a TET score, the court ruled that the government cannot interfere with the minority institutions and their admission process. "The TET for teachers' appointment is a methodology accepted by the government, but it's not a qualification. It's rather a selection process from the given lot, which is why minority institutions aren't expected to follow the mandate," the court stated.

The minority institutions have reacted positively to the ruling. "This comes as a great relief to us and it was a difficult task to make state officials realise the admission processes that take place here. We are expected to follow the law of the land and adhere to minimum qualification mandates. But a TET is just a process of selection chosen by the government to pick from a qualified lot. Having a DEd or BEd candidate is a basic requirement, but how such a candidate might be selected is something that's best left to the institute itself. The government shouldn't interfere with this," said PA Inamdar, president of the Linguistic and Religious Minority Educational Institutions' Association.

Immanuel Durairaj, public relations officer at Spicer University, another minority institution from the city, said, "Being exempted from TET and other government diktats will ensure that we can run our institutions in tandem with our religious beliefs. This is definitely an advantage."

However, Shivaji Khandekar, president of the association of teaching and non-teaching staff of schools, chose to differ. "This will disturb the uniformity as the quality is different at different schools. With TET being discontinued, teachers' appointments would be based on varying parameters. With this level of freedom, the institutions can take advantage of appointing candidates, who are lesser qualified."
