1. TET-2 Merit Calculator (Upper Primary: Std 6–8)

The merit for TET-2 is typically calculated on a total of 100 points, where 50% comes from your exam score and 50% from your academic qualifications.

The Merit Formula

$$Total Merit = \left( \frac{TET Score}{150} \times 50 \right) + \left( \frac{Grad \%}{100} \times 20 \right) + \left( \frac{B.Ed \%}{100} \times 25 \right) + \left( \frac{PG \%}{100} \times 5 \right)$$

Weightage Breakdown Table

Qualification	Max Weightage (%)	Calculation Method
TET-2 Exam Score	50%	(Your Marks / 150) × 50
Graduation	20%	(Your Percentage / 100) × 20
B.Ed / D.El.Ed	25%	(Your Percentage / 100) × 25
Post-Graduation (PG)	5%	(Your Percentage / 100) × 5
Total	100%

For Secondary (Std 9–10) and Higher Secondary (Std 11–12), the selection process recently shifted to a Prelims + Mains pattern. While the Mains score is the primary qualifier, the recruitment merit for "Permanent Teachers" usually follows a 70:30 ratio.

The Merit Formula

$$Total Merit = \left( \frac{TAT Mains Score}{200} \times 70 \right) + \text{Academic Weightage (30\% total)}$$

Academic Weightage (30%)

• Graduation: 10%

• Post-Graduation: 10%
