The Department of School Education in Hyderabad has announced that the registration window for the highly anticipated Telangana Teacher Eligibility Test (TG TET) January 2026 session will officially close on 29 November 2025. Aspiring teachers who haven't completed their application process are urged to take immediate action to avoid missing this crucial deadline.
Important Dates and Application Details
Prospective candidates must complete their registration process through the official Telangana Teacher Eligibility Test portal at tgtet.aptonline.in. The direct application link remains prominently displayed on the website's homepage for easy access and navigation. According to the published schedule, successful applicants will be able to download their hall tickets starting 27 December 2025 by logging into the portal using their registration credentials.
The TG TET January 2026 examination is scheduled to be conducted over an extensive period from 3 January to 31 January 2026. The testing format includes two daily shifts to accommodate the large number of candidates. The first shift will run from 9:00 am to 11:30 am, followed by the second shift from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm.
Examination Structure and Pattern
The TG TET examination consists of two separate papers - Paper I and Paper II. Each paper contains 150 multiple-choice questions carrying a total of 150 marks. The comprehensive question paper covers essential subjects including Child Development and Pedagogy, Language I, Language II, Mathematics, and Environmental Studies.
An important feature of the question paper is its bilingual presentation. For most candidates, the paper will appear in English along with their chosen Language I. However, candidates selecting Sanskrit will receive their question paper in Telugu followed by Sanskrit in the Devanagari script.
Application Fee and Registration Process
The application fee structure is clearly defined: candidates applying for either Paper I or Paper II alone must pay ₹750, while those appearing for both papers need to pay ₹1,000.
The registration process involves several straightforward steps:

Education officials strongly recommend that candidates complete their registration well before the November 29 deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues or server congestion that typically occurs as the closing date approaches.
With teaching positions in Telangana government schools at stake, the TG TET serves as a critical qualifying examination for aspiring educators. Candidates should thoroughly prepare according to the prescribed syllabus and examination pattern to maximize their chances of success in this competitive test.
