Eligibility Criteria for APPSC TGT 2026

Educational Qualification

To be eligible for APPSC TGT Recruitment 2026, you need to meet two academic conditions:

First, you must hold a minimum Second-Class Bachelor’s Degree in Arts, Science, or Commerce from a recognised university. Crucially, you must have studied the concerned subject (the one you are applying for) in all years/semesters of your undergraduate programme. Your final year/final semester marksheet must clearly show the name and marks of that subject.

Second, you must have completed a B.Ed (General) degree from an NCTE-recognised institute. Only General B.Ed is acceptable for teaching Classes IX–XII. B.Ed (Special Education) is not considered an alternative professional qualification for TGT (Secondary) posts.

A few additional eligibility points worth noting:

• Candidates with a Four-Year Integrated Degree Programme that includes B.Ed (General) are eligible, provided they meet the subject-specific conditions above.
• The minimum duration of B.Ed must be two years (including internship). For candidates who completed B.Ed before 2015, a one-year B.Ed is also acceptable.
