Advantage of Communication ability and Co-curricular certificate of participation
One who has a co-curricular certificate of participation will also stand higher chances of scoring more marks. This part is very crucial when it comes to breaking ties.

| Communication Ability | 2 |
| Participation in Co-curricular activities | 1 |
| Students' academic performance(Exam Record) | 1 |
| Special Talent(s) | 1 |
| MAXIMUM SCORE | 5 |
So as to be on a safe side, it's important to provide evidence by producing a document to score above marks.
NB: No candidate should score zero in this section
It is important to note that good command in communication and convincing confidence level will put you in a good position to secure a job with TSC.
Finally, Ensure that your content mastery in your teaching subjects is commendable.
