Understanding the AP DSC TET Exam

teaching aptitude of candidates.

specific questions to assess teaching expertise in specific subjects.

Candidates must pass the TET to be eligible for the TRT, which evaluates
subject knowledge and pedagogical skills.

Pedagogy, Language I, Language II (English), Mathematics, and
Environmental Studies. Paper II also includes a section on the specific
