Hyderabad: The Cyberabad Police Commissionerate has imposed restrictions around Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) examination centres to maintain public order and prevent any disruption during the test period. The orders will be in effect from June 18 to June 30, 2025.

Cyberabad Commissioner of Police, Avinash Mohanty, issued the prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). According to the directive, gatherings of five or more persons are prohibited within a 200-metre radius of all TET exam centres under the limits of the Commissionerate.

As part of the enforcement, all photocopying (Xerox) and internet centres located within a 100-metre radius of the examination venues must remain closed during the examination period. This measure is intended to avoid any misuse of technology or materials during the conduct of the exams.
