AGARTALA, March 11 (TIWN): The previous Govt in TET advertisement called for 6422 vacant posts filling up under elementary, whereas it has downed at 180 vacant posts after new Govt came. In TET-II it was 1470 vacant posts. Only 319 teachers were recruited.

The new Govt after assuming power when urged the centre for one-time-relaxation, the Centre allowed saying, ‘As per information, provided by the State Govt of Tripura there are 12222 vacancies including 6276 under graduate teachers, elementary under 1-1-2018 for which state govt has been consistently requesting Teachers Recruitment Board, Tripura for selection of candidates. However, state doesn’t have that number of qualified candidates for the said vacancies’.

Today 791 TET qualified unemployed youths staged protest at Education office.

While addressing media, they said, “The Govt himself said that huge vacancies are there. We are 791 TET qualified teachers who were hoping for recruitment, but seeing the notification, sky collapsed on our head. In TET-I only 180 have announced as vacant, whereas in last recruitment it was 6422. So, we want to know why such a confusion and less numbers of seats even after having that much of vacant posts?”

“Same happened with TET-II’s 1470 vacant posts. Here also vacancy has downed at 315 whereas out of 1470 very limited seats were filled up. We have qualified TET after yearlong hardworks. We were hoping that we will be recruited shortly but now all it is seen that our recruitment with this minimum vacancies are not possible”, they added.
