Election code creates confusion among candidates waiting to write Teacher Recruitment Test

Confusion reigned among candidates waiting to write the Teacher Recruitment Test (TRT-DSC- 2024) on Friday due to lack of clarity on conduct of the examination that was proposed to be held from March 30 to April 30, 2024, but had to be postponed as the election Model Code of Conduct is in force.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Mukesh Kumar Meena, at a press meet, had clarified he had received many representations from candidates preparing to write the DSC examination, to postpone it in view of the elections. Mr. Meena said he conveyed their concern to the Education Department, which in turn wrote to the Election Commission of India (ECI) seeking permission for release of the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) and conduct of the DSC. “Until we get a clearance from the ECI, we cannot release the TET result or conduct the DSC,” he clarified.

“The Education Department merely announced in its official website that TET results, which were scheduled to be released on March 14, were being withheld in view of the election code but did not give any clarification on the DSC, leading to confusion among candidates,” says Samayam Hemanth Kumar, State president of AP Unemployed JAC.
