K-TET is an examination to assess the quality of teachers from lower primary to high school level in state schools.

In a recent circular, the Director of General Education (DGE) said teachers appointed without K-TET qualification after July 15, 2021—the date from which appointments after the 2019-20 academic year are effective—will be removed from service.

"Some aided school managements have appointed teachers without K-TET qualification. On rejection of such appointments, fresh proposals for approval of appointments are submitted by managements from the date of the teachers passing K-TET. Such practices should be curbed," the DGE said.
