State TET qualification enables applying for: Primary Teacher (Classes 1–5) with Paper I and Upper Primary Teacher (Classes 6–8) with Paper II — specifically for that state's government school vacancies. State school teacher recruitment is typically done by State Board of Secondary Education, MPSC, UKPSC (state PSC education wing) or directly by the state education department.

UP alone has seen multiple rounds of 69,000+ primary teacher recruitment, 15,000+ junior high school teacher recruitment in recent years.
