If you are searching for information regarding the Assam TET (Teacher’s Eligibility Test) 2011, you have come to the right place. In this article you will get detailed information about the TET examination and also the Science syllabus for Assam TET 2011.
According to some recent modifications by the National Council For Teachers' Education (NCET), it has become mandatory for every person aspiring to be a school teacher in Assam to qualify The Assam TET (Teacher's Eligiblity Test). The Assam Board conducts yearly examinations and every candidate can take several attempts if failed to qualify in a single attempt.
After a long interval, the detailed syllabus of Assam TET has been published on the 15th of July. The Assam TET exam structure consists of two papers which differ according to the level. The Assam TET exam paper 1 questions are for teachers willing to teach from classes 1 to 4 and the Assam TET exam paper 2 questions are for teachers offering to teach from classes 6 to 8. Below is the Detailed Syllabus for Science in Assam TET 2011.Detailed Science Syllabus for Assam TET (Teacher's Eligibility Test) 2011
