Prayagraj, Oct. 1 -- In a major setback for the Shiksha Mitras, the Allahabad High Court has dismissed a bunch of petitions seeking inclusion of Shiksha Mitras in the Special TET 2026.

The court had reserved its decision on September 24 and delivered its verdict on Thursday. A single bench of Justice Manju Rani Chauhan delivered the verdict.

In its order, the court stated that the petitioners cannot claim to be eligible to appear in the special examination simply because they are eligible to appear in the general TET.
