The successful candidates will have to bring their admit cards along with the other required documents while coming to get their certificates.
He further said that since the TET results have been declared, the notification for the recruitment of 2700 primary teachers under SSA will also be issued on first week of October.
Only TET passed candidates will be illegible for the recruitment.
The recruitment process will be done purely on merit basis with 50% of the marks scored in TET and another 50% from the candidate's academic performance will be considered.
He said that there is strict rule that a teacher should possess both TET and B Ed certificates.
But since Manipur is a state where there is less numbers of trained teachers, it has been decided by the central government to relax the eligibility criteria of teachers in the state restricting only to TET certificates and not B Ed certificates, after request from the state government.
The decision came after a notification was issued by the Central government.
It further said the candidates holding only TET certificates will be allowed to appear in the recruitment process of teachers only upto 2013.Beyond that, candidates applying for the post of teachers will have to hold both TET and B Ed certificates.
He further said that an order will shortly be issued where recruitment of teachers even in private schools will also require the TET certificates.
