How is TET percentage calculated?

the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) in India, including both CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) and state-specific TETs, is not scored in terms of a percentage. TET results are typically provided as pass or fail, indicating whether a candidate has qualified the exam or not. The focus is on meeting the minimum qualifying criteria rather than assigning a percentage score.

Here's how TET results are generally determined:

1. Qualifying Marks: TET exams have minimum qualifying marks or cutoff scores set by the respective examination authorities. These cutoff scores are predetermined, and candidates need to secure marks equal to or above the cutoff to be declared as "Qualified."

2. Pass/Fail Status: Candidates who meet or exceed the qualifying marks are declared as "Qualified," while those who fall below the cutoff are marked as "Not Qualified."

3. Score Card: The scorecard or result statement may indicate the candidate's performance in each section of the exam, but it does not provide a percentage score. It generally includes information about the candidate's status (Qualified/Not Qualified) and the marks obtained in each section.

4. Validity Period: Upon qualifying the TET, candidates are often issued an eligibility certificate that remains valid for a specified period, allowing them to apply for teaching positions during that time.

It's important to note that the specific procedures and reporting formats may vary between different TETs conducted by different states and authorities. Therefore, candidates should refer to the official notification and guidelines provided by the examination authority conducting the TET for accurate and up-to-date information regarding the scoring and reporting system.

If there have been changes or updates to the scoring system or reporting format since my last update in January 2022, candidates should check the latest information provided by the respective TET conducting authorities.
