TSC transfer application and approval online- Application for Teachers Service Commission (TSC) transfers are now purely done online. Both the teacher and Head of Institution (principal or Head Teacher) play a key role in ensuring the transfer request is submitted successfully to TSC.
It is the teacher who initiates the transfer process by making the application online (See how to successfully submit your application: TSC transfer application online portal and simplified application procedure for teachers).
Once you make your transfer request, the Head of Institution will receive a notification and will be required to act on it immediately. If the Head does not give an approval to the transfer request, then the whole process will stall at this level.
