The﷽ West Bengal Board of Primary Education Board (WBBPE) is holding a Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET) on Sunday after a gap of five years amid tight security arrangements, officials said.
The TET is being held to fill up around 11,000 vacancies for primary teacher posts in West Bengal government-sponsored and aided schools and nearly seven lakh candi♑dates are taking the examination.
The 2014 TET examination results are mired in controversy ꦚover alleged irregularities in the recruitment process and the CBI is holding investigations into these on orders of theꦅ Calcutta High Court.
The state Transport department and the Metro Railway have made arrangements for additional services for ensuring smooth travel of the ne💛arly seven lakh candidates taking the TET examin𝓰ation.
The TET 2022 is being held five years after the 2017 examination amid heavy security with substantial poli𝔉ce presence at 1,460 examination centres across the state, an official said.
Reꦉcruitment of primary teachers on the basis of 2014 TET examination results, which is the subject of a huge controversy in the state, is being investigated by the CBI on orde😼rs of the Calcutta High Court.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is also probing the alleged money💯 trail in the matter, arrested former state primary education boardꦗ chairman Manik Bhattacharya, who is a Trinamool Congress MLA from Palashipara in Nadia district, two months back.
