Assam TET UP study guide
Assam TET UP · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) conducted in Assam is a teacher-eligibility examination organised through the online application system of the Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) Division-I, headquartered at Bamunimaidam, Guwahati. The Board's portal lists a Special TET-2026 for Lower Primary and Upper Primary Level, so the credential is aimed at candidates who intend to teach at the foundational and preparatory stages - Classes I to V at Lower Primary and Classes VI to VIII at Upper Primary. The TET is a single multiple-choice assessment split across those two levels, and candidates normally choose the level matching the classes they wish to teach rather than sitting both. Because the notification material published so far does not state the examination date, the number of questions, the duration, the qualifying marks, the application fee, or how long a TET certificate remains valid, treat those details as unconfirmed until the Board issues its detailed notification. Topics on this exam: Lower Primary Level (Classes I–V) and Upper Primary Level (Classes VI–VIII). The Assam TET UP study guide has 2 sections and about 742 words.
