“The policy for regularisation of SSA (now ISSE) was approved by a cabinet decision, vide Notification No ED 2/649/2009, dated 8 January, 2013, and later it was partially modified (No EED 2/72/M/RR/2017, dated 10 February, 2017). For the TGTs, it is 50 percent promotion from PRT to TGT, 25 percent direct recruitment through APPSC and remaining 25 percent by regularisation from SSA contractual TGT ISSE.
“As per Notification No ED 2/649/2009, dated 8 January, 2013, the candidates so regularised who do not meet the professional qualification norms as per the RTE Act 2009 (DElEd/BEd) will have to undergo and complete the professional courses within three years of their regularisation,” the department said.
“Under the directorate of secondary education, in the TGT level, out of the total resultant vacancies, 70 percent falls under direct recruitment and 30 percent are kept for promotion for the post of TGTs. For the PGTs, 50 percent falls under direct recruitment and 50 percent are kept for promotion for the post of PGTs,” it said.
