The Supreme Court‑mandated first teacher qualification test in Madhya Pradesh is scheduled for 20 December at district headquarters, with 34,199 candidates registering out of an estimated 150,000 eligible teachers.
Following a directive from the Supreme Court, Madhya Pradesh will conduct its inaugural teacher qualification examination on 20 December. The test will be held offline across the state's district headquarters, marking the first such assessment for teachers in the region.
The examination is slated to begin at 11 a.m. and has attracted 34,199 applications. Although roughly 150,000 teachers fall within the eligibility bracket, only a fraction have registered so far.
Education officials noted that the low registration rate could reflect limited awareness or concerns about the new testing format. The outcome of this exam is expected to shape future recruitment and promotion policies for teachers across Madhya Pradesh.
