Below, am going to delve deeply into some of the reasons that have been cited by TSC for disqualifying applicants in the recruitment exercise.
Applicants presenting forged documents is the main reason that may lead to disqualification during recruitment exercise. The University indicated in the certificate is contacted to ascertain whether the degree is authentic.
Teachers who have been deregistered probably due to dismissal from the service or professional misconduct is another reason for disqualification during interviews.
Teachers who have two TSC numbers are also disqualified during the recruitment exercise. Having two TSC numbers comes after applying for another TSC number after being deregistered owing to professional misconduct.
