The Hindu
State will conduct Common Entrance Test (CET) for appointment of teachers to government schools till all vacancies are filled
Considering that the Karnataka government did not get the required number of qualified teachers for its primary and high schools during the last round of recruitment, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education B.C. Nagesh said his department would conduct the Common Entrance Test (CET) for appointment of teachers to government schools twice in the next round.
“We are not getting as many qualified teachers as called in the recruitment notification. Last time, only 3,000 candidates passed when the requirement was higher. Keeping in mind that fewer candidates are passing the CET, we have decided to conduct the exam twice this time. We are going to start the process for recruitment of 5,000 teachers. We will continue to conduct CETs till we get the required number of teachers,” he told mediapersons after visiting a government high school and a pre-university college in Kalaburagi on October 26, and interacting with the students.
