💼 AP DSC Selection Process 2025

Selection is done post-wise. However, the general pattern includes:

• Written Exam: Carries 80–100 marks depending on the post
• AP TET Weightage: 20% for SGT and SA posts
• Document Verification
• Final Merit List

🧮 TET Weightage & Final Marks Calculation in AP DSC 2025

In the AP DSC 2025 selection process, weightage is given to TET marks as per the Government of Andhra Pradesh recruitment rules. This means your final selection is based not only on your DSC written exam marks but also on how well you performed in the TET (Teacher Eligibility Test).

✅ Weightage Structure

• 80% – Marks obtained in the DSC written test (Computer-Based Test – CBT)
• 20% – Marks obtained in the TET examination

This helps recognize candidates who already cleared TET with good scores and promotes transparency.

📝 TET Weightage Calculation Formula

TET Weightage = (Marks Scored in TET ÷ Total Marks in TET) × 20

• Total marks in TET: 150
• Maximum weightage allotted from TET: 20 marks

📌 Important Notes:

• TET Certificate must be valid (generally valid for life unless otherwise specified).
• Only AP TET or CTET scores are considered, as per post applicability.
• TET is qualifying, but marks still play a crucial role in merit ranking.
• Weightage is automatically calculated and added to your DSC exam score.

🎯 Pro Tip for Aspirants:

To increase your final merit score:

• Focus on scoring high in DSC CBT.
• But don’t ignore TET – every mark counts due to the 20% weightage!

🏛️ Detailed History of AP DSC (District Selection Committee)

The AP DSC (Andhra Pradesh District Selection Committee) exam has its origins in the 1980s, designed to ensure transparent and merit-based recruitment of school teachers across government-managed institutions in the state.

Evolution Timeline:

🔹 1980s–1990s: Foundational Phase

• The DSC exam was first introduced by the Andhra Pradesh government to recruit school teachers through a centralized written exam system.
• It was considered an effective alternative to direct appointments, which were often affected by political or local influences.
• At this time, eligibility was mainly based on graduation and teacher training (TTC or B.Ed).

🔹 2000–2010: Formalization and Reforms

• Recruitment processes were streamlined with structured notification cycles and better planning.
• G.O.Ms.No. 199 (2005) made it mandatory to conduct teacher recruitment through DSC based on written exams.
• This era also witnessed the introduction of weightage to academic qualifications and reservation policies.
• Teacher appointments under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) also began to integrate with DSC rules.

🔹 2011–2014: Integration with TET

• Following national reforms by NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education), a new system was introduced mandating a Teacher Eligibility Test (TET).
• From this period, AP TET became a prerequisite for appearing in DSC exams.
• DSC evolved to TET-cum-TRT (Teacher Recruitment Test), where 80% weightage was given to the written test and 20% to TET score.

🔹 2014–2019: Post-Bifurcation Challenges

• After bifurcation in 2014, DSC recruitment slowed in Andhra Pradesh.
• However, in 2018, a massive drive was launched with G.O.Ms.No. 67, announcing over 7,675 posts for SA, SGT, PGT, and TGT across various schools.
• This recruitment combined TET with a computer-based exam format.

🔹 2020–Present: Digital Transformation and NEP Alignment

• From 2020 onwards, the recruitment was aligned with National Education Policy (NEP 2020).
• Computer-Based Tests (CBT) became standard, promoting transparency.
• Eligibility rules were revised to include newer education degrees and better alignment with NCTE norms.
• The current AP DSC 2025 recruitment, announced via G.O.Ms.No. 28 SE Dept., is one of the largest in recent years with 16,347 posts across the state.
