Science Stream — The Biggest Opportunity

Every second PGT post belongs to science! If you have a PG + B.Ed in Chemistry or Physics, do not miss TRE 4.0 — a vacancy block like this will not come again in 2026.

PGT Eligibility — Complete Details (Age, Qualification, STET)

Age Limit (as on 01 July 2026)

Important change: TRE 4.0 sets the minimum age for Class 9–12 (TGT/PGT) at 21 years — candidates aged 18–20 cannot apply for PGT at all. This is a change from previous TRE phases. Maximum age varies by category as above (verify with the final notification).

Qualification (Subject-Wise)

• Post Graduate (PG) — in the subject you are applying for, with minimum 50% marks (45% for reserved categories) from a recognized university
• B.Ed — in the same subject (B.Ed subject ≠ PGT subject = possible rejection)
• STET/BTET Paper-2 — either Class 9-10 level or 11-12 level, passed in the same subject
• CTET also accepted — CBSE’s CTET Paper-2 (relevant subject) works equally
• Language subjects (Hindi/Urdu/Bengali/Sanskrit) may have additional requirements — check the relevant subject’s PDF in the notification

PGT Exam Pattern — Single Phase (New TRE 4.0 System)

After the 27 August 2026 announcement, TRE 4.0 will be a single-phase exam (previously there were two phases). Expected pattern (to be confirmed with the notification):

Preparation tip: Spend 70% of your time on PG core concepts — TRE’s subject paper is PG-level, not graduation-level. Revise your PG semester content alongside NCERT-style syllabi.

How Merit Is Calculated — PGT Selection Maths

1. Written marks — the base of the subject-wise merit
2. Category roster applies — SC 5,271, UR 3,852, BC 3,222, EBC 1,704… (see the roster table above)
3. Separate lists per subject — Chemistry’s merit is separate from Physics’s — only your subject’s competition matters
4. Tie-breaking: On equal marks — higher PG percentage first, then age seniority

Selection Process — Step by Step

1. Online application (through OTR): From 21 Sept — choose subject + category
2. Single-phase written exam: Subject-based paper (PG level) as per the 27 August announcement
3. Merit list (subject-wise): Separate merit per subject as per the category roster
4. Document Verification: PG marksheet + B.Ed + STET/BTET + category certificate + DigiLocker
5. Joining: School allotment (by subject + district)

Documents — Prepare Before Applying

• PG marksheet (the subject you are applying for, from the 22-subject list)
• B.Ed certificate (in the same subject)
• STET/BTET Paper-2 certificate — subject match is mandatory
• Category certificate — BPSC format, valid (check the EWS fiscal year)
• DigiLocker account — mandatory for certificate verification
• Photo + signature — digital copies ready

TRE 4.0 — Vacancy in Other Levels (Beyond PGT)

PGT vs TGT vs Middle School — What’s Different

Eligible for both levels? If you have PG + B.Ed + STET-2, apply for PGT — 4x the vacancies (16,101 vs 3,877) means much higher selection chances. (Note: TRE allows only one level per form.)

5 Things to Consider Before Choosing Your Subject

1. Vacancy vs competition ratio: Chemistry has 3,695 posts — but every science candidate applies there. Botany (1,078) or Psychology (1,030) may have a better ratio
2. STET subject MATCH: You can only choose the subject you passed STET/BTET in — STET Hindi + PGT Chemistry form = REJECTION. This is the most common mistake
3. PG marks: You need 50%+ in the subject (45% for reserved) — apply even if borderline (it matters at final verification)
4. Only one subject: TRE allows one subject for PGT — no multi-subject forms. Choose your best-chance subject
5. Future lock-in: The subject you choose decides your school posting — do not chase vacancies alone, choose your strong subject

Previous TRE Cycles — PGT Trend Data

Trend observation: PGT’s share has grown every cycle — and this time the fee is also just Rs 100 (previously Rs 500-1000+). Expect more applications than ever — competition will be tougher, but 16,101 posts are still a huge opportunity. Strategy: choose your subject wisely and start single-phase exam preparation early.

How to Fill the PGT Form — 6 Steps (21 Sept Onwards)

1. Login via OTR on the BPSC application portal — your OTR profile auto-fills the basic details
2. Select TRE 4.0 → PGT (11–12) — then choose your one subject from the 22-subject list (must match STET)
3. Verify academic details — PG university, year, marks + B.Ed details exactly as in the marksheet
4. Upload photo + signature — JPEG, within the size limits shown in the form
5. Pay the Rs 100 fee — via debit card/UPI/net banking; keep the transaction reference safe
6. Preview → Submit → Print — download the final PDF; the registration number is your admit card gateway

Timing tip: Avoid the first few hours on 21 September (server load) and the last day entirely (payment failures). The sweet spot is 2-3 days after the form opens.
