5. Final Thoughts & Preparation Tips

1. Check the relevant recruitment cycle — DEE for primary/junior teaching roles (age min 18–max 40), DSE/PGR for secondary teaching (min 21–max 38).

2. Confirm the key date — eligibility is calculated as of a specific reference date (e.g., 1 Jan 2025 for DEE, 1 Jan 2023 for DSE).

3. Be mindful of category wise relaxation — SC/ST, OBC, PwD, Ex‑Servicemen can significantly raise the maximum age limit.

4. Do not exceed small-family norm — it’s a mandatory disqualification criterion.

5. Ensure TET qualification and educational eligibility — meet both academic and test requirements before applying.
