Why b.tech completed students not eligible for TET or DSC? B tech education is more than diet education

In most Indian states, just having a BTech degree is not enough to appear for TET or DSC. You usually need a proper teaching course like B.Ed or D.El.Ed along with it.

This isn’t about how “big” or “small” your degree is. It’s about teacher training. A BTech gives you technical knowledge, but it does not train you to teach students in a classroom. That’s why, even if BTech is a higher degree, it is not considered a teaching qualification. States want teachers who are trained specifically for teaching, which is why they insist on B.Ed or D.El.Ed.

So, if you want to become a government school teacher after B.Tech, the usual route is:

1. First, do B.Ed (2 years) or D.El.Ed (2 years), depending on whether you want to teach higher classes or primary classes.
2. Next, clear the TET or CTET for that level.
3. After that, apply for DSC, TRT, or other state teacher recruitment exams.

That’s the standard and safest path followed across most states.
