The Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) Examination recruits specialized secondary educators (Classes VI to X) across prestigious central bodies like KVS, NVS, DSSSB, EMRS and state education commissions. Prepare for Paper 1 General Ability and Paper 2 Core Subject Specialization & Pedagogy with experienced educationists at Aalokan Academy.
Specialized in Discipline Knowledge, NCERT Curriculum Mastery, Teaching Methodology & NEP 2020 Directives
TGT is not a separate degree; it is an academic professional designation granted to educators who have completed graduation and a recognized B.Ed degree, qualifying them to teach secondary level students (typically Classes VI to X).
Responsible for mentoring adolescents through critical board-foundation years, guiding subject-specific lab practicals, designing continuous assessments, and fostering conceptual thinking.
Commands Grade Pay 4600 (Basic Pay ₹44,900 to ₹1,42,400) under central rules, along with Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), Transport Allowance, and comprehensive healthcare.
With departmental tests and experience, TGT teachers advance to Post Graduate Teacher (PGT - Level 8), Vice Principal, and school Principal cadres in central and state educational departments.
TGT competitive examinations are fiercely contested. Candidates must clear both a common General Paper (Reasoning, Math, GK, Hindi, English) and an advanced Subject Paper with pedagogy. We provide an integrated training model:
In-depth academic coaching tailored strictly to graduation-level depth for TGT Mathematics, Natural/Physical Science, Social Science (SST), English, Hindi, and Sanskrit aligned with NCERT Class 6 to 12 benchmarks.
Specific teaching methodologies, experiential learning, Bloom's revised taxonomy, diagnostic assessment, constructivist teaching approaches, and National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 implementation frameworks.
Many subject specialists lose selection due to weak Part A scores. We drill 20-second shortcuts in Numerical Ability, Logical Reasoning, Current Affairs, and bilingual Hindi/English grammar to secure a decisive 80+ lead.
Simulate actual computer-based exam environments (like DSSSB and KVS) with strict negative marking calibration (-0.25). Receive section-wise time audits, accuracy metrics, and All-India peer ranking reports.
For central boards with interview rounds, our retired school principals and education officers train you in blackboard writing, micro-teaching demonstrations, lesson planning, and panel viva to secure maximum interview weightage.
Standard eligibility parameters established by NCTE and respective central/state recruiting commissions (KVS, DSSSB, NVS, State Boards).
Bachelor’s Degree with at least 50% marks in aggregate and in the concerned subject combination.
Must possess a recognized Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degree from an NCTE approved institution.
Must have qualified CTET Paper 2 (Upper Primary Stage) for KVS, NVS, DSSSB & EMRS.*
