MP TET 2026: Correction Deadline Today, Exam On 12 Oct

What This Exam Is

This is the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) 2026 for teachers who are already working in primary or secondary classes but have not yet passed TET. It is held because the RTE Act requires every teacher to have a valid TET.

The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board, Bhopal (MPESB) released this notification on 18 September 2026. The exam is being held because of a Supreme Court order dated 1 September 2025, in Civil Appeal 1385/2025 and 1386/2025.
