** BTC is a Basic Training Certificate and TET is teacher eligibility test.

** For BTC or TET candidate should have graduation with Bachelor of Education with a minimum of 50%.

** As per my knowledge no you are not eligible for BTC or TET examination with 47% in graduation because for BTC or TET candidate should have graduation and Bachelor of Education with a minimum of 50%.

You can apply for BTC & TET after completion of your bachelor's degree even though less than 50% in graduation. Some state boards don't have percentage criteria to apply for BTC or TET. You can apply for the same.
