AP Teacher Recruitment Test (TRT) Syllabus and Exam Pattern to Undergo Changes

The state government of Andhra Pradesh is planning to bring some significant changes in the syllabus and pattern ofTRT (Teacher Recruitment Test).This year, the state government is expected to conduct TRT, which is also known as DSC (District Selection Committee) exam. Even though the official notification for TRT is not out, the state education department may release the syllabus before the release of official notification.

After 2015, the state government did not conduct TRT exam. As perNCTE rules, it was mandatory to conduct TET to make candidates eligible for TRT. Instead of conducting TET and TRT separately, the state government conducts Teacher Eligibility cum Recruitment Test (TERT) by including TET syllabus in the recruitment test.
