TSC Interview: Criteria for Breaking Ties in Teachers Recruitment
According to the Teachers service Commission (TSC), applicants will receive points according to the score sheet.
In cases where applicants have identical scores, the selection panel will apply the criteria outlined in the teachers recruitment guidelines to break the tie.
TSC Interview: Criteria for Breaking Ties in Teachers Recruitment
In cases where applicants tie in the ranking process, the following criteria will be used to determine who is selected:
- Length of Time Since Graduation – Applicants who have been waiting longer since graduation will be prioritized.
- Strength of Academic and Professional Qualifications – The academic and professional certificates submitted by the applicants will be evaluated for their quality.
If there is still a tie in points based on the PTE/DPTE Upgrade Certificate, the aggregate Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) grades or their equivalent will be considered.

Employment Preferences
The following categories of applicants will be prioritized for selection:
- Applicants Without Previous Employment – Those who have not been employed by the Commission on Permanent and Pensionable terms will be given preference.
- Local Applicants – Preference will also be extended to candidates from the same Sub-County or County as the job opening.
Once academic, professional, and other relevant documents are verified, the Sub-County selection panel will take the following steps:
- Compile a Sub-County Merit List.
- Submit the compiled Merit Lists to the TSC County Directors, who will then consolidate them into a County Merit List for further verification at the Headquarters.
Note: Applicants with hearing or speech impairments will be allowed to work with a sign language interpreter during the process.
