As of now, there is no option for Language Pandits to choose language specialization as a specific subject for 60 marks in the place of Social Studies or Mathematics. Language Pandits were of the option that choosing either of the subjects instead of their own language was leading them to be at a disadvantage. They can score well if they are given the option to choose their own language as a subject in TET for 60 marks.

TET score carries 20% weightage in TRT (Teacher Recruitment Test). The Andhra Pradesh government created Paper – III/ Paper – IIA specifically for Language Pandits already. The candidates are expecting the Telangana government to do the same. Over 4 lakh candidates are eagerly waiting for the Telangana TET notification.
