The State government had fixed 60 per cent as pass mark for all categories in the TET exam. It was against the National Council for Teachers Education guidelines. It also went against the social justice principle of E.V. Ramasamy Periyar and the reservation policy, he added.
*******
Higher Education Minister P Palaniappan on Saturday clarified that reservation policy would be followed only for appointment of teachers and not for the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) conducted by the Teachers Recruitment Board
*************
When the members pointed out that the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), in its guidelines had allowed State governments in giving concessions for candidates of certain sections in deciding pass marks, Minister said they were only guidelines and not mandatory
*************
Afterall Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on February 3 had announced in the State Assembly: “Though it has been fixed that candidates have to score 60 per cent marks to secure a pass in the TET, the candidates belonging to SC/STs, BCs, MBCs, BCs among the Muslims, Denotified Communities and Differently-abled would be given a concession of five per cent. Hence, they can pass the examination if they score 55 per cent of marks instead of 60 per cent.”

Earlier Supreme Court rejects plea against Tamil Nadu's decision to fix cut off marks (on 13th Dec 2013) -
The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea against the Tamil Nadu government's decision to fix 60 % cut off marks in the state Teacher Eligibility Test conducted this year.
"We find it difficult to accede to the request of the counsel. The question as to whether the cut off marks stipulated for the reserved category candidates have to be reduced or not, is entirely a matter for the State Government to decide," a bench of justices KS Radhakrishnan and A K Sikri said.
"The court exercising writ jurisdiction cannot grant such relaxation/concessional marks, as the same is the decision to be taken by the State Government," it said.
