Sarkari Naukri Recruitments Results

TNTET : “Appointment of teachers subject to outcome of writ petition’’

HC Bench passes interim order on public interest litigation petition
The Madras High Court on Thursday said that appointment of BT Assistant Teachers and Secondary Grade Teachers subsequent to the Teachers Eligibility Test held in October this year would be subject to the result of a writ petition pending before it.

The First Bench consisting of Chief Justice M.Y. Eqbal and Justice T.S. Sivagnanam passed the interim order on a public interest litigation petition by M. Palanimuthu, an advocate, and headquarters secretary of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi. The Bench posted the matter for further hearing after two weeks.

Mr. Palanimuthu said a supplementary Teachers Eligibility Test was conducted in Tamil Nadu on October 14. A total of 3,73,696 candidates wrote the examination and 8,808 were successful. When releasing the results, the Teachers Recruitment Board failed to publish the community-wise and subject-wise passed candidates. This, the petitioner said, had been done with an “ulterior motive.” The board had hidden the facts to SC, ST, Backward Classes and the physically challenged.

The NCTE had issued a communication of April 1 last year for relaxing 5 per cent to SC/ST and the physically challenged candidates for qualifying eligible marks. In the notification itself, the board had not mentioned about the relaxation of the qualifying marks for eligibility as had been done by some other States.

The petitioner prayed the court to conduct the selection of BT Assistant Teachers and Secondary Grade Teachers according to the NCTE guidelines.

TNTET Trichy : Sudden counselling troubles aspiring teachers in Trichy

Dec 10, 2012,

TRICHY: The online counselling for the Bachelor of Teaching (BT) assistant posts in Trichy held on Sunday left many candidates inconvenienced. The candidates did not receive the call letter but got the information through a television channel.

The Directorate of School Education, Chennai had sent a notice to all the chief educational officers on December 7 to conduct the counselling on December 9 in all the districts. The counseling was for the candidates who cleared Tamil Nadu Teacher Eligibility Test (TNTET) conducted on October 14, 2012. The TNET result was declared in November and the selected candidates were awaiting their appointment.

Since the duration for sending the call letters to the selected candidates for the online counseling in their respective districts was short, an announcement about the date and venue was flashed on Jaya TV from December 7. Meanwhile, call letters had been dispatched from Trichy to the 318 Trichy-based eligible candidates on Saturday evening. However, most candidates came to know about the counselling through the television advertisement.

Another round of counselling will be held on December 10 for those who could not find vacancy in Trichy district. They would be offered jobs in other districts. "This short period notice troubled us a lot. What if the selected candidates were out of town, they would have not been able to attend the counseling thereby missing out a good opportunity," said Dr TK Lawrence, a relative of a woman who had come for the counselling held at Government higher secondary school in Trichy.

However, an education department official said that as the state-wide function for issuing the appointment orders to the selected candidates, through the chief minister J Jayalalithaa, had been recently re-scheduled for December 13, the counseling was conducted in a hurry.

It is surprising that candidate's got information about their counselling through Television, with such a short period of notice.

However another clarification comes in this news is that counselling is re-scheduled to 13th December 2012.

TNTET : Candidates selected for teaching posts

TNTET : Candidates selected for teaching posts

The Teacher Recruitment Board (TRB) on Tuesday announced that 9,664 candidates have been selected for the post of secondary-grade teachers, and 8,718 for the post of graduate assistants.

The selections have been made based on the results of the Tamil Nadu Teacher Eligibility Test (TET).

Over 6 lakh candidates from across the State appeared for the first TET in July, but the test had to be conducted a second time, due to the poor performance of candidates the first time around. TRB needed to fill around 7,500 vacancies of secondary-grade teachers, and close to 20,500 vacancies of graduate assistants.

The selected candidates will be the first set of teachers to be recruited in the State through the TET, which is mandated by the Right to Education Act, 2009. The individual results of candidates will be announced on Wednesday.

According to an official, secondary-grade teachers, who will handle classes I to V have been recruited based on TET scores and employment seniority, as a verdict on a special leave petition by the government is pending in the Supreme Court at present.

Graduate assistants who will handle classes VI to VIII however, have been recruited based on the recently-announced weightage system, where higher secondary, degree, B.Ed and TET marks are taken into account.

TRB data revealed that 820 candidates were rendered ineligible after the certification-verification stage.

The next TET will be conducted in July, an official said.
