Let\u2019s go over these requirements in detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Educational Qualifications for TS SET 2025<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first and most important criterion for eligibility is the educational qualification. Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the required academic qualifications for different categories of candidates:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>General Category Candidates:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidates belonging to the general category must have completed a Master\u2019s degree or an equivalent qualification with a minimum of <\/span><b>55% marks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (without rounding off). The following qualifications are acceptable:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M.A.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M.Sc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M.Com.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MBA<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MLISC<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M.Ed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M.PEd.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MCJ<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LLM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MCA<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M.Tech (in CSE &amp; IT only)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Reserved Category Candidates (BC\/SC\/ST\/PwD):<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidates belonging to the backward classes (BC), Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), or Persons with Disabilities (PwD) must have obtained a minimum of <\/span><b>50% marks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in their Master&#8217;s degree (without rounding off). This ensures that students from these categories have an equitable chance to apply for TS SET 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Candidates Awaiting Results:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are still waiting for your Master\u2019s degree results, you can still apply for TS SET 2025. However, your admission will be provisional, and you will be required to submit your final marks once the results are declared. Ensure that you have scored at least <\/span><b>55%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (for general category) or <\/span><b>50%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (for reserved category) in your Master\u2019s degree before applying.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Special Considerations for Transgender Candidates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transgender candidates are given certain relaxations in terms of age, fees, and the qualifying criteria. These candidates will not face the same requirements as other categories and are provided with more flexibility throughout the application process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>PhD Candidates Relaxation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidates who have completed their PhD program and have obtained a Master&#8217;s degree before the deadline set by the university are eligible for a relaxation of <\/span><b>5 percentage points<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means that the required percentage for eligibility will be reduced from 55% to 50% for these candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Age Limit for TS SET 2025<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is <\/span><b>no upper age limit<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for candidates appearing for TS SET 2025. Whether you&#8217;re in your 20s or 40s, as long as you meet the educational requirements, you are eligible to apply for the exam.
