Kolkata: The teacher eligibility test (TET) under the West Bengal Board of Primary Education (WBBPE) will not be held this year.
WBBPE president Goutam Pal announced that the successful candidates from the last two TETs are yet to appear for the interview, so the new TET will be held only after clearing the backlog.
“The successful candidates are still waiting. So we decided to conduct the next TET maybe after six or eight months. Now, our first priority is to publish the result of the last TET that took place last year,” he said.
In 2022, 7 lakh candidates appeared for the exams and around 1.5 lakh were successful. In 2023, 3 lakh candidates appeared but the result is yet to be published. The process was delayed due to the court proceeding regarding wrong questions. tnn
