Regarding competition across different posts, over 2.1 lakh applications were submitted for 7,487 school assistant (high school teacher) posts alone, translating to a competition of about 28 candidates per post. As only candidates are eligible for school assistant posts, competition for these positions is high, whereas competition for primary school teacher posts is comparatively lower. Only those who have completed (diploma in education) can compete for secondary grade teacher (primary school teacher) posts.

However, the govt later restricted eligibility for SGT posts to only candidates, following court rulings in previous recruitment cycles. Previously, graduates had greater flexibility in applying for both high school and primary school posts, improving their chances of securing govt jobs. Since the restriction, has lost some appeal. Moreover, about a decade ago, the duration of courses was increased from one year to two years, further reducing the demand for seats, which used to witnessed intense competition, with management quota seats in private colleges fetching between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh about two decades ago. However, with changing circumstances, the AP EdCET (entrance test for admissions) now attracts only around 10,000 applications against the 30,000 available seats. DSC exam convenor M Venkata Krishna Reddy said english proficiency test (EPT) is applicable only to candidates applying for TGT non-language posts, PGT non-language posts, and principal posts. "The duration of the test will be 90 minutes. Initially, due to technical issues, EPT details were not displayed on some hall tickets. However, the issue was promptly resolved, and revised hall tickets now include EPT details. Candidates are advised to refer to their updated hall tickets for accurate examination information," said Reddy.

How Twins In Madhya Pradesh Earned Double With Fake Degree
Damoh, Madhya Pradesh: In what may turn out to the one of the most audacious education scams in Madhya Pradesh, twin sisters secured teaching jobs in separate government-run schools, using the same name and the same BA marksheet, which belonged to one of them. For 18 years, both drew salaries, taught children and remained undetected. Each sister earned more than Rs 80 lakh during their fraudulent tenure, amounting to a combined haul of Rs 1.6 crore. The matter came to light only when both applied for a job transfer to the same school, triggering suspicion of the Education Department. The department suspended one of the sisters-Rashmi, the wife of Deependra Soni. The other, Rashmi, wife of Vijay Soni, is on the run. Ironically, both were teaching moral science while practicing document forgery. SK Nemam, District Education Officer of Damoh, said, "One used the original marksheet, the other submitted a forged copy. When both gave different documents for verification, the truth began to unravel." 19 Fake Teachers In Damoh, Only 3 Dismissed These are not isolated incidents. A departmental investigation has revealed that 19 teachers in Damoh were recruited on basis of fake or suspicious documents. Yet, only three have been dismissed so far. The remaining 16 are still teaching students. These 19 teachers have collectively withdrawn more than Rs 22.93 crore in salaries over the years. Another shocking case involves Neelam Tiwari and Asha Mishra - twins married to brothers of the same family - who were working in schools in Mainwar and Gadhola Khande with fake certificates. Multiple complaints have reached Bhopal, Jabalpur, and even the High Court, which ordered action by April 9. But most of the accused continue to draw salaries and teach.
