The Andhra Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (AP TET) 2025 results have been officially declared by the Department of School Education, Government of Andhra Pradesh and are now available on the official result portal tet2dsc.apcfss.in. Aspirants who appeared for the state-level exam can log in and download their scorecards, which confirm whether they have qualified the TET.
The AP TET is an important certification exam for candidates who want to pursue careers as teachers in government and aided schools in Andhra Pradesh, for classes 1–8. Qualifying the AP TET 2025 is a prerequisite for eligibility in teacher recruitment like the AP District Selection Committee (DSC) process that follows.
How the Results Were Finalised
The 2025 edition of the AP TET was conducted in computer-based test (CBT) mode starting on December 10, 2025, with two shifts taking place each day across various districts, mandals and municipalities. Candidates answered multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on relevant subject knowledge and pedagogic understanding needed for primary and upper primary teaching roles.
Before the results were released, the Department published preliminary answer keys and allowed candidates to raise objections. Following a review of those objections, final answer keys were prepared, and scores were normalised to ensure fairness across different exam sessions before computation of final results.
Important Statistics at a Glance
According to official estimates:
- A total of 2,71,692 candidates registered for AP TET 2025.
- Of those, approximately 2,48,427 candidates appeared for the exam across all sessions.
- Around 97,560 candidates have qualified the examination by securing marks equal to or above the minimum qualifying threshold.
- The pass percentage indicates intense competition and varied performance across categories.

What Passing AP TET Means
Qualifying the TET does not directly guarantee a teaching job, but it is mandatory to appear in most teacher recruitment drives conducted by government and union bodies in Andhra Pradesh. It serves as the foundational eligibility test for teaching positions in:
- Primary schools (Classes 1 to 5)
- Upper primary schools (Classes 6 to 8)
Candidates who pass Paper I and/or Paper II (depending on which they applied for) will be eligible for the corresponding teaching levels. Those who pass both papers become eligible to teach from Classes 1 to 8.
Next Phase: AP DSC and Recruitment
Now that the AP TET results are out, qualified candidates should start preparing for the next important stage — the Andhra Pradesh District Selection Committee (AP DSC) recruitment process. The DSC is where candidates will apply using their TET certification to compete for actual teaching posts across government and aided schools.
Here’s what candidates should do next:
- Keep all original documents ready, including educational certificates, TET scorecard, category certificate (if applicable), and identity proof.
- Watch official notifications on the AP TET and AP DSC portals for updates on application windows and counselling dates.
- Prepare for document verification and interviews, which are typical components of the DSC selection cycle.
Tips for Candidates Who Did Not Qualify
Failing to qualify in 2025 can be disappointing, but it’s not the end of the road. Candidates who did not meet the minimum qualifying marks should:
- Analyse their scorecards to understand weak sections and topics.
- Plan a structured preparation strategy focusing on concept clarity and mock tests.
- Attempt the TET again in the next cycle by re-registering when the application window opens.
- Consider joining focused coaching or online test series to strengthen areas that need improvement.
Many aspirants use their performance data to craft better study plans and improve their scores in subsequent attempts.
General Tips for Result Season
- Always verify your personal details on the scorecard. If there are errors in your name or category details, contact the officials immediately.
- Save your scorecard in multiple formats (PDF, printed copy, saved image) so you do not lose the certificate during recruitment stages.
- Follow the official WhatsApp notification number or toll-free updates if the department provides them to receive result links or alerts.
