ప్రాథమిక నియమం: జిల్లా కేటాయింపు అంటే మన సొంత జిల్లాకు మనల్ని పంపించడం కాదు. మనం ప్రస్తుతం ఏ జిల్లాలో పనిచేస్తున్నామో, ఆ జిల్లా మరియు దాని పూర్వపు జిల్లాను ప్రాతిపదికగా తీసుకుంటారు.

Fundamental Rule: District allocation does not simply mean transferring an employee to their native home district. Rather, it is determined based on the district where you are currently serving and its corresponding erstwhile (parent) district.

1.ఏలా విభజన చెపడటార్ (How will the division/ allocation be carried out?)

ఉమ్మడి జిల్లా ఆధారంగా సీనియరిటీ లిస్ట్లు తయారు చేస్తారు. ఉమ్మడి జిల్లా నుండి ఎన్ని జిల్లాలు అయితే విడిపోయాయో అన్ని జిల్లాల నుండి ఆయా కేడర్లకు సంబంధించిన ఉద్యోగుల అందరి సీనియరిటీని పరిగణనలోకి తీసుకొని జాబితా రూపొందిస్తారు. ఆ జాబితా ఆధారంగానే జిల్లా కేటాయింపు జరుగుతుంది.

Seniority lists will be prepared on the basis of the erstwhile (undivided) district. No matter how many new districts have been carved out from the parent undivided district, the seniority of all employees belonging to the respective cadres across those areas will be pooled and considered together to prepare a comprehensive list. The final district allocation will be strictly executed based on this generated seniority list.

2. పోస్టులా విభజన ఏలా ఉంటుంధి How will the division of posts be structured?)

ఉమ్మడి జిల్లాలోని పోస్టులను ఆయా నూతన జిల్లాలకు కేటాయించడం జరుగుతుంది. ఇందులో ఎస్సీ, ఎస్టీ రి+f-వేషన్లు కూడా ఉంటాయి. ఏ జిల్లాకు ఎన్ని పోస్టులు కేటాయిస్తారు అనేది ఎంపిక ప్రక్రియకు ముHAе తెలుస్తుంది.

The sanctioned posts within the erstwhile undivided district will be distributed and allocated proportionately to the newly formed districts. This division strictly incorporates SC and ST reservation guidelines. The exact number of posts allocated to each new district will be officially made known prior to the commencement of the selection/option process.

3. ఎంపికలో ప్రాధాన్యతలు ఏమైనా ఉంటాయా...? (Will there be any special preferences or priorities during the selection process?)

ఉత్తర్వులలో సూచించిన ప్రిఫరెన్షియల్ కేటగిరీలకు మరియు ఎస్సీ, ఎస్టీలకు ప్రాధాన్యత ఉంటుంది.

Priority and special preference will be given to the "preferential categories" explicitly designated in the government orders, as well as to employees belonging to the SC and ST categories during the allocation process.

4. అందరు ఉద్యోగులు options ఇవ్వాలా(Must all employees submit their options?)

తప్పనిసరిగా ఇవ్వవలసిందే. ఆప్షన్ ఇవ్వకపోతే పోస్టులు ఖాళీగా ఉన్న ఏదో ఒక జిల్లాకు అలాట్ చేయబడతారు... 

Yes, it is absolutely mandatory. If an option is not submitted, you will be automatically allotted to any remaining district where vacant posts are available.

5. పూర్వపు జిల్లాలోని కొన్ని మండలాలు వేరే పూర్వపు జిల్లాలో కలిశాయి. అప్పుడు ఎలా చేస్తారు...? (Some mandals from an erstwhile district have been merged into another erstwhile district. What happens in such cases?)

ఏదైతే పూర్వపు జిల్లాలోని మండలాలు ఇంకో పూర్వపు జిల్లాలో కలిసాయో, కలిసిన మండలాలు కలిగిన పూర్వపు జిల్లా వాసులందరికీ ఏ ప్రస్తుత జిల్లాలో అయితే ఆ మండలాలు కలిసాయో ఆ ప్రస్తుత జిల్లాకు రావడానికి అవకాశం ఉంటుంది... 

If specific mandals from one parent district were merged into a different parent district, all native residents of those merged mandals will have the opportunity to be allocated to the new current district that incorporates those mandals.

6. ఎంపికా ప్రక్రియ ఎలా ఉంటుంధి ? (What is the selection process?)

సీనియరిటీ జాబితా ఆధారంగా మనం ఆప్షన్లు పెట్టుకోవలసి ఉంటుంది. అంటే ఒక ఉద్యోగి పూర్వపు ఉమ్మడి జిల్లాలో ఎన్ని జిల్లాలుగా విభజన జరిగిందో అన్ని జిల్లాలకు మొదటి, రెండు, మూడు, నాలుగు ఇలా ఇచ్చికాలను పెట్టుకోవలసి ఉంటుంది. సీనియరిటీ ఆధారంగా కేటాయింపు జరుగుతుంది...

Preferences must be submitted based on the seniority list. An employee will select preferences (Priority 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) for all the new districts created from their erstwhile undivided district. Allocation will be systematically processed solely on the basis of seniority rankings.

7. ప్రస్తుతం నేను నా స్థానిక జిల్లాలో పనిచేయడం లేదు. ఉమ్మడి జిల్లాలోని వేరే జిల్లాలో పనిచేస్తున్నాను. ...?

నా స్టానిక జిల్లాకు వెల్లదానికి అవకాశం ఉంటుంధా?

 (Currently, I am not working in my native district, but in a different district within the same undivided region. Will there be an opportunity to shift to my local/native district?)

ఉంటుంది, కానీ సీనియరిటీ ఆధారంగానే ఉంటుంది. దొరికితే దొరకవచ్చు లేదంటే లేదు...

Yes, the opportunity exists, but it is strictly subject to seniority. Depending on your rank and vacancy availability, you may get the allocation, or you might not.

8. ఒకవేళ నేను ప్రస్తుతం పని చేస్తున్న జిల్లా కాకుండా ఉమ్మడి జిల్లాలోని ఇంకో... జిల్లాకు ఎంపిక అయితే ...? 

(If I am allocated to another district within the undivided region instead of my current working district, will I be issued a fresh posting there?)

తప్పనిసరిగా ఇస్తారు... Yes, a fresh posting will definitely be issued.

9. ఒకవేళ నేను ప్రస్తుతం పని చేస్తున్న జిల్లాను ఎంపిక చేసుకొని దానిని పొందితే మళ్ళీ పోస్టింగ్ ఇస్తారా...? (If I choose my current working district and am allocated to it, will I be issued a fresh posting order?)

ఇవ్వరు. మీరు ప్రస్తుతం పని చేస్తున్న జిల్లాలో, పని చేస్తున్న స్థానంలోనే ఉండవలసి ఉంటుంది...

No, a fresh posting will not be issued. You will continue to remain in the same district and position where you are currently serving.

10. భార్యాభర్తలు ఇద్దరూ ఉద్యోగులై చేరో జిల్లాకు వెళ్ళిపోతే పరిస్థితి ఏమిటి...? (What is the situation if both husband and wife are employees and get allocated to two different districts?)

ఇలాంటి సందర్భంలో మీ సీనియరిటీని బట్టి ఇద్దరు ఒకే జిల్లా ఎంచుకోవడానికి ప్రయత్నం చేయాలి. ఒకవేళ చేరో జిల్లా వెళ్ళిపోతే పోస్టింగ్ పొందిన తర్వాత మళ్ళీ స్పౌజ్ కేటగిరి అవకాశం ఇవ్వవచ్చు కానీ అది ఎప్పటికి అవుతుందో చెప్పలేం. అందుకే ముందుగా ప్రణాళిక వేసుకోవడం ఉత్తమం. ఒకవేళ స్పౌజ్ కేటగిరీ కింద భార్య వద్దకు భర్త లేదా భర్త వద్దకు భార్యను పంపించే ప్రయత్నంలో డిమాండ్ ఉన్న జిల్లాకు అవకాశం ఉండకపోవచ్చు. ఖాళీల లభ్యతను బట్టి అవకాశం ఉంటుంది. అందుకే ముందుగా మన సీనియరిటీని బట్టి ప్రణాళిక వేసుకోవలసిన అవసరం ఉంది...

In such cases, based on your seniority, both should strategically try to opt for the same district during initial options. If you get separated into two different districts, a "Spouse Category" adjustment option may be given after the primary placements are finalized, but the timeline for that cannot be accurately predicted. Therefore, careful advance planning is highly recommended. Furthermore, under spouse

may be given after the primary placements are finalized, but the timeline for that cannot be accurately predicted. Therefore, careful advance planning is highly recommended. Furthermore, under spouse category transfers (husband joining wife or vice-versa), high-demand districts may lack open slots. Mutual adjustment depends heavily on active vacancy availability, making it critical to map options beforehand based on seniority rankings.

11. నేను జూనియర్ ని, నా సొంత జిల్లా మంచి పట్టణం, అందరూ అదే కోరుకుంటారు, నాకు నా సొంతజిల్లా వెల్లదానికి అవకాశం ఉంటుంధా (I am a junior employee, and my native home district is a prominent/developed area which everyone prefers. Will I have no opportunity to be allocated to my native district?)

ఆప్ష్నలు ఇచ్చుకున్న తర్వాత మీ సొంత జిల్లా అలాట్ కాకపోతే మీరు ఏ జిల్లాకు అలాట్ అవుతారో అదే జిల్లాలో పనిచేయవలసి ఉంటుంది...

If your home district is not allotted to you due to high competition after submitting options, you must serve in whichever alternative district is allocated to you by the system.

12. నా స్థానిక జిల్లా అలాట్ కాకపోతే వేరే జిల్లాలో శాశ్వతంగా పని చేయవలసిందేనా...? (If my local/native district is not allotted, do I have to work in the other allocated district permanently?)

అవును. తప్పనిసరిగా మనం ఎన్నుకున్న జిల్లానే మనకు శాశ్వత జిల్లా అవుతుంది. ఒకవేళ భవిష్యత్తులో పరస్పర బదిలీలకు అవకాశం ఇస్తే చెప్పలేం కానీ అది కేడర్ వారీగానే ఉంటుంది. ఉదాహరణకు విద్యాశాఖ అయితే కేడర్, సబ్జెక్టు, మీడియం, మేనేజ్మెంట్... వీటి ఆధారంగానే జరుగుతుంది...

Yes. The district successfully allocated to you will officially become your permanent administrative district. If mutual transfers (inter-district exchanges) are permitted by the government in the future, it might open up opportunities, but even then, it will be restricted strictly by cadre rules. For example, in the Education Department, mutual transfers are governed strictly by specific cadre, subject, medium of instruction, and management types.

13. నేను ఎంపిక అయిన డిపార్ట్మెంట్ కాకుండా వేరే డిపార్ట్మెంట్లో ఫారిన్ సర్వీస్ కింద పని చేస్తున్నాను. ...? (I am currently serving under 'Foreign Service' (deputation/secondment) in a different department rather than the parent department I was originally recruited into. How will my district allocation be processed?)

తప్పనిసరిగా అందరికీ జిల్లాలు కేటాయించడం జరుగుతుంది. మీరు ఎంపిక అయిన డిపార్ట్మెంట్లో సీనియరిటీ జాబితాలో మీరు కూడా ఉంటారు. మీరు ఇచ్చే ఆప్షన్స్ బట్టి జిల్లా కేటాయించడం జరుగుతుంది. ఫారిన్ సర్వీస్ కాలం ముగిసిన తర్వాత పేరెంట్ డిపార్ట్మెంట్ కు వెళ్ళినప్పుడు మీకు ఏ జిల్లా అయితే కేటాయించబడుతుందో ఆ జిల్లాలో వెళ్ళి పని చేయవలసి ఉంటుంది...

District allocation is mandatory for everyone without exception. Your name will be actively included in the master seniority list of your parent department. The allotment will be executed systematically according to the choices/options you submit. Once your foreign service tenure concludes and you return to your parent department, you must go and report for duty in the specific district allocated to you during this process.

14. సీనియర్లు అందరూ మంచి జిల్లాకు వెళ్లిపోతే రెండు, మూడు సంవత్సరాలలో ఆ జిల్లాలో రిటైర్మెంట్ ద్వారా ఖాళీలు ఏర్పడతాయి కదా, అప్పుడు ఆ జిల్లా స్థానికత కలిగిన జూనియర్లను ఆ జిల్లాలకు బదిలీ ...? (Will junior employees holding local status be transferred back when retirement slots open up later?)

చేయరు, ఆ జిల్లాలో రిక్రూట్మెంట్ ద్వారా నింపుకుంటారు కానీ ప్రస్తుతం మనం పనిచేస్తున్న జిల్లా నుండి ఇంకో జిల్లాకు బదిలీ అనేది ఉండదు. స్థానిక వాసులు అయినా సరే.

No, they will not. Future vacancies in that district will be filled through fresh recruitment. There will be no inter-district transfers from your allocated district to another, even if you are a local resident of that preferred district.

According to the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Civil Appeal No. 1385/2025, in-service teachers who were recruited prior to the enactment of the RTE Act, and having more than five years of service to retire on superannuation, as on 01.09.2025 i.e., the date of the above orders of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No. 1385/2025, must qualify the TET within a period of two years. Consequently, teachers appointed prior to 2011, who were not required to possess TET qualification at the time of their appointment, are now required to qualify in TET within the stipulated period.

2. Govt., vide reference 2nd cited, issued guidelines for conducting Andhra Pradesh State Teacher Eligibility Test (APTET), wherein Rule-9.1 prescribed the procedure for in-service Teachers.

3. Further, while disposing of the Review Petitions arising out of the aforesaid judgment in Civil Appeal No. 1385/2025, the Hon'ble Supreme Court, by order dated:29.05.2026, declined to interfere with the requirement of acquiring the TET qualification. However, taking note of the practical difficulties expressed by various States and stakeholders, the Hon'ble Apex Court extended the deadline to three years (from 01.09.2025 to 31.08.2028) for compliance up to 31.08.2028 and further directed the concerned authorities to conduct Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) examinations periodically, preferably twice every year, interspersed with an approximate period of six months between the successive examinations, so as to provide adequate opportunities to eligible teachers to acquire the prescribed qualification within the stipulated period.

4. In order to facilitate compliance with the directions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and to support the experienced in-service teachers, the Hon'ble MLCs have represented the Government, vide reference 4th cited, to consider for conducting Special Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) exclusively for teachers appointed prior to 2011, in addition to the regular TET examination. Conducting such special TETs two or three times during the compliance period would provide adequate opportunities for the eligible teachers to qualify without undue hardship.

5. Accordingly, the Director of School Education, vide reference 5th cited, has submitted necessary proposal to the Government, with regard to conducting Special Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for in-service teachers appointed prior to 2011 in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No. 1385 of 2025, dated 01.09.2025.

6. Government, after careful examination, hereby accord permission to the DSE to conduct Special Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) exclusively for in-service teachers appointed prior to 2011, besides the regular TET (both for teacher trainees and the in-service teachers) as usual, to enable them to obtain the TET qualification before 31.08.2028, in compliance with the deadline stipulated by the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

7. The Director of School Education, is therefore, requested to take further necessary action accordingly, in the matter.
