After the Education Ministry’s decision to extend the validity of TET scores for a lifetime, the board has decided to not issue any fresh certificate for previous years’ exams.

The Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ had announced that the government has decided to extend the validity period of the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) qualifying certificate from 7 years to lifetime with retrospective effect from 2011.
