The results of the STGT (Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test) conducted by the TRBT (Teachers’ Recruitment Board, Tripura) in 2022 have yet to be released. This prolonged delay has led to widespread disappointment and anger among unemployed youth, who have been frequently gathering at the TRBT board office to demand answers regarding the hold-up.
Key Points of Contention:
- The Legal Hurdle: It has been reported that the results are being withheld due to a pending case in the Supreme Court regarding their recruitment.
- A New Exam Cycle: Adding to the candidates’ frustration, the TRBT conducted a fresh examination on February 14, 2026, without clearing the backlog of the 2022 results. Candidates claim this move is unprecedented in the history of the TRBT.
- The “Ad-hoc Promotion” Precedent: Protesters argued that if the State Government could grant ad-hoc promotions despite those matters being sub judice (under court consideration), they should show similar “goodwill” to recruit the 2022 candidates.
Recent Developments:
On Friday, a group of candidates attempted to meet with the Board Chairman. They were informed that the Chairman was out of the state; however, the protestors alleged they were being lied to, claiming the Chairman’s vehicle was parked right outside the office.
”Starting a new recruitment process without declaring the results of the old one is unheard of. We demand the immediate release of the 2022 results and the recruitment of all qualified candidates together.” — Statement from a protesting candidate.
It’s clear the candidates feel there is a lack of transparency, especially regarding the Chairman’s presence and the legal justification for the delay.
