11. Syllabus

The detailed syllabus, content and structure of the Teacher Recruitment Test, including subject-wise allocation of marks, will be notified in the Information Bulletin issued by the Commissioner / Director of School Education, Andhra Pradesh.

12. TET Weightage – 20%

For SA and SGT posts, APTET/CTET scores will be considered for 20% weightage along with 80% TRT marks.

Selection Formula

Final Merit Marks = TRT Marks (out of 80) + TET Weightage (out of 20).

SA: APTET Paper-IIA/IIB or CTET Paper-II.

SGT: APTET Paper-IA/IB or CTET Paper-I.

The TET pass marks prescribed in the GO are:

TET	Maximum Marks	OC/EWS	BC	SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen
APTET	150	90	75	60
CTET	150	90	75	60

13. Minimum Qualifying Marks

Category	Minimum Qualifying Percentage
OC and EWS	40%
BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, BC-E	35%
SC Groups I, II, III / ST / PwBD	30%

The above qualifying percentages apply to the aggregate TRT (80%) and TET (20%) marks for SA except Physical Education and SGT.

For SA Physical Education, the same qualifying percentages apply to the CBT marks out of 100.

Mere securing of minimum qualifying marks does not confer any right to selection. Selection depends on merit, roster, vacancies and other applicable conditions.

14. Normalization of Marks

For examinations conducted in multiple shifts, the Government has prescribed a normalization procedure for APTRT/DSC-2026.

• Normalization will be applied to the marks obtained by candidates in different shifts.
• The formula takes into account the average marks of top 0.1% candidates, mean marks and standard deviation across shifts.
• Normalized marks will be calculated up to five decimal places.

The official normalization formula and definitions are provided in Rule 17 of G.O.Ms.No.52.

15. Preparation of Merit List and Tie-Breaking

When two or more candidates obtain equal marks, the following order will be followed:

1. Candidate with older date of birth will receive higher rank.
2. If the date of birth is the same, a female candidate will receive higher rank over a male candidate.
3. If the tie continues, community preference will be given in the following order:

1. ST
2. SC Group-I
3. SC Group-II
4. SC Group-III
5. BC-A
6. BC-B
7. BC-C
8. BC-D
9. BC-E
10. EWS
11. OC

In case of further equality, the date of passing the Professional / Training qualification will be considered. If the tie continues, the date of passing Intermediate for SGT and Graduation for School Assistant will be considered.

16. Local Reservation – 95% and 5%
