In addition to the appointments, the department has also released a schedule for a 15-day induction training program to be held at the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET). This training is mandatory for all newly appointed teachers before they begin their teaching duties.

Upon joining, teachers are required to report to their designated DIET center according to the provided schedule. Each center will cater to teachers from 2 to 3 districts. This arrangement aims to ensure that all newly appointed teachers receive the necessary training to effectively perform their roles.

The appointment process, including the counselling sessions, was conducted in November, and the results have now been finalized and declared. The department has strategically posted most of the new teachers in schools located in remote areas, addressing the need for qualified educators in these regions.
