Open in new tab - Intern teachers have a higher advantage during employment since they are automatically awarded 30 marks. Teachers partaking in this program therefore are given a priority first.
- Marks according to the length of stay since graduation- in the recent past, marks as per the length of stay of a teacher has been reduced drastically.
It is also important to note that in order to score part 2, the year of completion of Professional trainings, PGDE/BED whose credentials are used for part 1 of the above score sheet will determine the length of stay and not the enhancement year.
- Communication skills and co-curricular certificate- a teacher with a certificate of participation in co-curricular activities stand a higher chance of absorption. This part is commonly used during ties.
To avoid a knock-out ensure you have either of the skills named above. Have a good commanding voice and outstanding communication skills. Convince the panel and work on your confidence.
Lastly, have a good content mastery in the teaching subject.
NOTE:
- Carry all the required documents.
- According to TSC, no candidate should score 0 in 3 above. In case it happens, the candidate is automatically rejected.
