The Andhra Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (AP TET) 2025, conducted in December, has been publicly declared by the Department of School Education, Andhra Pradesh.

Among them, 97,560 candidates passed, with a pass percentage of 47.82.

The test was administered at the district headquarters, municipalities, revenue divisions, and mandals in Andhra Pradesh. The sessions were conducted twice a day, in the morning (9:30 am to 12 pm) and afternoon (2:30 pm to 5:00 pm) to ensure that the number of test-takers was sufficiently large.
AP TET 2025 Results: Fairness Through Normalisation
Since the exam was on such a scale, AP TET 2025 was divided into several shifts with different levels of difficulty. To be fair, the Department also introduced a regularisation process. This statistical correction reconciled the differences between sessions, thus making sure that no candidate was disadvantaged by the difficulty of their paper.
The test was in the form of multiple-choice questions, each with one mark, and no negative marking. This format enabled applicants to take a test without fear as they tested their knowledge of the subject and their teaching skills.
Why AP TET Matters For Aspiring Teachers
