Is CTET valid for CG teacher recruitment? — CG Assistant Teacher Eligibility Criteria
Candidates must satisfy both of the following:
(A) Minimum Educational Qualification — any ONE of:
- Higher Secondary (or equivalent) with minimum 50% marks + 2-year Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed., by any name), OR
- Higher Secondary with minimum 45% marks + 2-year D.El.Ed. as per NCTE Regulations 2002, OR
- Higher Secondary with minimum 50% marks + 4-year B.El.Ed. (Bachelor of Elementary Education), OR
- Higher Secondary with minimum 50% marks + 2-year Diploma in Special Education, OR
- Graduation + 2-year Diploma in Elementary Education (by any name)
(B) TET Qualification (Mandatory) — Candidates must have passed the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) conducted by the appropriate government body, as per NCTE guidelines.
This confirms TET is required — the notification does not specify CTET (Central TET) separately; it refers to the TET conducted by the “appropriate government” (samuchit sarkar), which for Chhattisgarh state-cadre posts would typically mean CG-TET.
If you hold CTET instead of state CG-TET, check the latest NCTE/CGSSB clarification before applying, as acceptance can vary by notification.
