Eligibility Criteria
The response sheet can be downloaded only by candidates registered for and appearing in AP TET 2026. The broad examination eligibility requirements are provided below; paper-wise conditions may change under the detailed notification.
Educational Qualification
- For Paper I, covering Classes I to V, candidates generally need Senior Secondary or Intermediate with the prescribed marks and an approved elementary education qualification such as a two-year Diploma in Elementary Education, four-year B.El.Ed or another qualification recognised under applicable rules.
- For Paper II, covering Classes VI to VIII, candidates generally require a bachelor's degree along with B.Ed, D.El.Ed, B.El.Ed or an approved integrated teacher-education qualification.
- Candidates appearing in the final year of an eligible teacher-training programme may be considered where permitted by the official information bulletin.
- Qualification requirements can differ by paper, subject and category. Applicants must verify the prescribed marks, recognition status and certificate conditions before registering.
Age Limit
- AP TET is a teacher eligibility examination, and a separate upper age limit is generally not prescribed merely for appearing in the test.
- Age limits applicable to future teacher recruitment drives will be governed by the rules of the recruiting authority.
- Qualifying AP TET does not automatically provide appointment or exemption from recruitment-specific eligibility conditions.
Fees
- The examination fee for AP TET 2026 will be confirmed in the detailed notification.
- Payment, where applicable, must be completed through the authorised online payment facility.
- Candidates applying for more than one paper should check whether a separate fee is required for each paper.
- Bank charges or payment gateway charges may apply in addition to the examination fee.
Selection Process
AP TET is a qualifying examination rather than direct recruitment. The assessment and result process is expected to include:
- Computer-Based Examination: Candidates take the relevant AP TET paper at the allotted examination centre and time.
- Response Sheet and Answer-Key Review: Recorded responses and the provisional answer key are published online. Candidates may challenge eligible questions within the prescribed objection period by submitting supporting evidence and paying any applicable fee.
- Final Answer Key and Result: Subject experts examine objections before the final key, scores and qualifying status are released. AP TET qualification alone does not guarantee a teaching post.
