AP TET 2026 – What Appearing Candidates Should Know

The AP TET 2026 consists of Paper-I (A & B) for candidates intending to teach Classes 1 to 5, and Paper-II (A & B) for those aiming to teach Classes 6 to 8. Each paper is a 2-hour 30-minute Computer-Based Test (CBT) featuring exactly 150 multiple-choice questions for 150 marks. The core syllabus includes Child Development and Pedagogy (30 MCQs), Language I (30 MCQs), Language II – English (30 MCQs), and Mathematics/Science/Social Studies depending on the candidate's chosen paper structure. Crucially, there is no negative marking for incorrect answers, meaning candidates should attempt every question.

Upon qualifying the AP TET with the minimum required marks (usually 60% for General, 50% for BC, and 40% for SC/ST/PH), candidates receive a TET certificate that carries lifetime validity. In the broader context of Andhra Pradesh teaching recruitment, a significant 20% weightage is given to the AP TET score, while the remaining 80% weightage is derived from the AP DSC written test (Teacher Recruitment Test). Therefore, scoring high in the AP TET provides a substantial, long-term advantage in securing a final government appointment.
