The Department of School Education in Telangana has extended the deadline for applications for the Teacher Recruitment Test (TRT) to October 28. The TRT exams, originally scheduled for November 20 to 30, were postponed due to polling. Some candidates requested an extension of the application deadline, and officials have granted their request. So far, 1.38 lakh people have paid the application fee and 1.33 lakh applications have been submitted.
The application fee for all candidates is Rs. 1000. The postponed exams are expected to be held in February. The maximum age limit for candidates is 44 years, with a relaxation of 5 years for SC/ST/BC/EWS quota candidates and 10 years for PWD candidates. The recent extension of the application deadline has provided relief to those who were unable to pay the fee due to server problems in the past two days.
The Telangana government has released a notification to fill a total of 5,089 vacancies in government schools across the state. These vacancies include 2,575 SGT posts, 1,739 School Assistant posts, 611 Language Pandit posts, and 164 PET posts. The recruitment process will be conducted through the DSC (District Selection Committee). The SGT, School Assistant, and PET posts will require a written test and TET weightage. The PET and PED candidates will have a separate exam.
