According to the plan of TSCHE, the CETs will be conducted in multiple days depending on the number of candidates register for the exams. The council will ensure same difficulty level of the question paper. All CETs in 2018 will begin the month of May. Currently, TSCHE is in the process of appointing convenors and co-convenors for different CETs.
