Students across Tamil Nadu aiming for a teaching career, get ready! The Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) has officially announced the exam dates for the Tamil Nadu Teacher Eligibility Test (TNTET) 2025. This crucial state-level exam will take place on **November 15 and 16, 2025**.
The TNTET is a mandatory test for those who wish to teach in government and private schools in Tamil Nadu. If you have applied for this exam, you must download your hall ticket (admit card) now. The hall tickets are available on the TRB's official website: **trb.tn.gov.in**.
What is TNTET?
The TNTET exam decides if a person is qualified to teach in primary (Class 1 to 5) and elementary (Class 6 to 8) schools in Tamil Nadu. It is a very important step for aspiring teachers in the state. The exam is divided into two papers: Paper 1 and Paper 2. Each paper focuses on different levels of teaching.
The TRB conducts this exam to ensure that teachers have the necessary skills and knowledge. Passing the TNTET is often a requirement for securing a teaching position in various schools across the state.
Exam Schedule: Dates and Timings
The TRB will conduct the TNTET 2025 exam offline, meaning it will be a pen-and-paper test. Here are the detailed dates and timings for both papers:
| Paper | Exam Date | Shift | Timing | Duration |
| Paper I | November 15, 2025 | Single | 10 AM to 1 PM | 3 hours |
| Paper II | November 16, 2025 | Single | 10 AM to 1 PM | 3 hours |
As you can see, **Paper I** will be held on **Friday, November 15, 2025**. This paper is for candidates who want to become teachers for **Class 1 to Class 5**. On the other hand, **Paper II** is scheduled for **Saturday, November 16, 2025**. This paper is for those who aim to teach students in **Class 6 to Class 8**.
Both exams will start at **10 AM** and finish at **1 PM**. This means each paper will give you exactly **three hours** to complete the test. There is only one shift for each day, so all candidates for a specific paper will take the exam at the same time.
