Jammu & Kashmir Govt Keeps Order on TET Nodal Agency in Abeyance

Srinagar | February 26, 2026

The Government of Jammu and Kashmir has kept in abeyance its recent order designating the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) / State School Standards Authority (SSSA) as the nodal agency for conducting the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) in the Union Territory.

According to Government Order No. 87-JK (Edu) of 2026 dated February 26, 2026, the earlier Government Order No. 82-JK (Edu) of 2026 dated February 23, 2026 stands kept in abeyance until further orders.

The decision means that the earlier order assigning JKBOSE/SSSA the responsibility of conducting TET has been temporarily put on hold.

The order references a judgment dated September 1, 2025 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Civil Appeal No. 1385/2025 and connected matters titled Anjuman Ishat-E-Taleem Trust vs State of Maharashtra & Others, which appears to have influenced the government’s move.

The latest directive has been issued by the School Education Department and signed by the Commissioner/Secretary to the Government.

Further clarity regarding the conduct of the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) in Jammu and Kashmir is expected after additional directions from the authorities.
