This research investigates the critical connection between study habits and performance on the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), a critical gateway for aspiring educators. Given the TET's role in determining entry into the teaching profession, the adoption of effective study strategies emerges as a vital component for success. The study specifically analyzes key dimensions of study habits, including time management, the ability to maintain concentration, efficient note-taking, reading comprehension, systematic revision practices, and levels of self-motivation. Data for this analysis were gathered from a sample of TET candidates using structured questionnaires, with the subsequent information being examined through rigorous statistical techniques. The results reveal a statistically significant and positive relationship between disciplined study routines and superior TET outcomes. Aspirants who demonstrated organized time management, consistent review schedules, and focused learning techniques consistently achieved higher scores. The findings carry substantial implications for various stakeholders in teacher education. For aspiring teachers, the study underscores the necessity of moving beyond unstructured reading to cultivate a strategic and disciplined preparation plan. For mentor institutions and teacher training curricula, it highlights an urgent need to integrate modules that explicitly teach effective study methodologies, equipping candidates with the skills to learn efficiently. For policymakers, these insights can inform the development of preparatory resources and guidelines that support candidates in building the academic discipline required not only to pass the TET but also to foster a lifelong learning mindset essential for a successful teaching career. Ultimately, the research affirms that methodical preparation is a decisive factor in achieving professional goals in education.
