The Jharkhand Teacher Eligibility Test (JTET) 2025 has been officially cancelled. In a major update, the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) announced that the exam, which previously saw over 3.65 lakh applicants, will now be conducted afresh under revised rules and regulations. The decision comes after the earlier advertisement for JTET 2024 was withdrawn due to inconsistencies in the syllabus.

JTET Exam 2025 Cancelled

The Jharkhand Academic Council issued a notification confirming the cancellation of the JTET 2024 exam cycle. As per the latest announcement, a new advertisement will be issued, and the exam will be re-conducted in alignment with updated rules. Despite the cancellation, there’s a relief for aspirants, candidates who have already paid the application fee will not need to pay again.

The previous application window ran from 23 July to 26 September 2024, during which more than 3.65 lakh candidates submitted their forms. However, the exam was put on hold due to reported flaws in the syllabus, ultimately leading to the withdrawal of the original notification.

JAC to Introduce New Rules and Regulations

The Jharkhand Teacher Eligibility Test will now be held under a new policy framework, which is currently being finalized by the Jharkhand Academic Council in consultation with the School Education and Literacy Department. The revised rules are expected to bring more clarity, structure, and transparency to the selection process. The move was approved by the state’s Education Minister, Ramdas Soren, reinforcing the government’s commitment to streamlining teacher recruitment in Jharkhand.

The fee structure from the previous cycle was as follows:

₹1300 for General, OBC, EBC, and EWS categories
₹700 for SC, ST, and differently-abled candidates

JAC to Release Revised Syllabus

One of the primary reasons for the exam’s cancellation was the presence of flaws in the earlier syllabus. JAC is now working on a completely revised syllabus that will align better with current academic standards and teaching needs. This update is crucial, as candidates can only begin their preparation once the new syllabus is published officially.

A fresh notification will soon outline the new eligibility criteria, paper pattern, and updated subject-wise syllabus for JTET 2025. Aspirants are advised to keep an eye on the official JAC website for timely updates.

JTET: A Rare Opportunity in Jharkhand

Since the formation of Jharkhand, JTET has only been conducted twice in the last 25 years—once in 2013 and again in 2016. In 2013, nearly 68,000 candidates qualified, while 53,000 cleared the exam in 2016. It’s been nine years since the last TET was held, making the upcoming exam highly anticipated among teaching aspirants across the state.
