How are the 852 posts divided?
The 852 posts come from four advertisements, all dated 4 November 2026.
| Post | School category | Posts |
|---|---|---|
| Graduate Teacher (GT) | Provincialised secondary schools | 746 |
| Graduate Teacher (Arts) | Government H.S. & M.P. School, Kokrajhar | 15 |
| Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) | Provincialised senior secondary / higher secondary schools | 72 |
| Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) | Government H.S. & M.P. School, Kokrajhar | 19 |
| Total | 852 |
The 746 GT posts span five streams — Arts, Science, Hindi, Sanskrit and Santali. Of the 15 GT (Arts) posts at the Government school in Kokrajhar, 8 are for Assamese medium and 7 for Bodo medium. The 19 PGT posts at the same school cover 17 subjects — Assamese and Vocational Office Management have 2 posts each, and the other 15 subjects have 1 post each.
Who can apply?
The first filter is residence: the applicant must be an Indian citizen and a permanent resident of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) area. A BTC residential certificate is compulsory. A candidate from outside the BTC area cannot apply, however strong the degree.
Two more conditions apply across all four advertisements. Under the small-family norm, a person with more than two living children on or after 1 January 2021 cannot take up the post. Three per cent of posts are reserved for martyr and victim families of the Bodoland Movement (certificate from the IBA Department, BTC, required). PwD reservation applies as per government rules.
What is the eligibility for Graduate Teacher posts?
For GT posts, candidates need a graduation or post-graduation in Arts, Commerce or Science with at least 50 per cent marks in either degree, plus a B.Ed from an NCTE-recognised institution.
- Hindi teachers: Pravin or Ratna in Hindi with 50 per cent marks, alongside a degree with 50 per cent marks. Parangat is treated as a B.Ed degree only for Hindi teaching.
- Sanskrit teachers: Shastri with 50 per cent marks, alongside a degree with 50 per cent marks.
- Santali teachers: an Arts degree and B.Ed, plus HSLC with Santali as a subject or a diploma in Santali from the Axom Santali Sahitya Sabha.
What is the eligibility for Post Graduate Teacher posts?
For PGT posts, candidates need a post-graduation in the concerned subject with at least 50 per cent marks, plus a B.Ed, and the subject must have been studied at degree level. For Vocational (Office Management) and Vocational (Accountancy and Auditing) posts, an M.Com plus B.Ed is required.
Language conditions for the school medium also apply — for example, an Assamese-medium school needs HSLC with Assamese as a subject, or an Assamese diploma from the Assam Sahitya Sabha, or study up to HSLC in an Assamese-medium school. The same pattern applies for Bengali, Hindi, Bodo and English medium schools.
Note: degrees from off-campus or distance-mode institutions do not count, except KKHSOU, IGNOU, IDOL under Gauhati University and distance education under Dibrugarh University.
What is the age limit?
| Post | Age limit |
|---|---|
| Graduate Teacher | 18 to 40 years |
| Post Graduate Teacher | 21 to 38 years |
Age relaxation:
| Category | GT (upper age) | PGT (upper age) |
|---|---|---|
| Ex-Servicemen | 42 years | 40 years |
| OBC / MOBC | 43 years | 41 years |
| SC / ST | 45 years | 43 years |
| PwD | 50 years | 48 years |
Important note: the GT advertisements and the 19-post PGT advertisement count age as on 1 January 2026, but the 72-post PGT advertisement counts it as on 1 January 2023. The 2023 date reads like a leftover from an older advertisement, but the published notice is the only authority — candidates for the 72-post PGT advertisement should confirm the cut-off date with the Directorate of Education before paying the fee.
How much is the application fee?
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General | Rs 950 |
| SC / ST / OBC / MOBC | Rs 600 |
| PwD | Rs 500 |
The fee for the 746-post GT advertisement arrived in an addendum dated 6 November 2026; the other three advertisements carry the fee inside the advertisement itself. Candidates who applied on 4 or 5 November, before the addendum, should check whether the portal now asks for the fee and keep the payment receipt with the application printout.
What is the salary?
| Post | Pay Band | Pay scale | Grade Pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graduate Teacher | PB-2 | Rs 14,000–70,000 | Rs 8,700 |
| Post Graduate Teacher | PB-3 | Rs 22,000–97,000 | Rs 11,800 |
Other allowances are admissible as per government rules.
How will selection be done? What is the exam pattern?
Selection is through a 140-mark TET cum Recruitment Test, followed by document verification. There is one common question paper for all GT vacancies and one common paper for all PGT vacancies.
| Subject | Marks |
|---|---|
| Pedagogy | 50 |
| About Assam and its People | 50 |
| General English | 30 |

Up to 15 additional marks are available — NCC ‘C’ certificate 5 marks / ‘B’ certificate 3 marks, national-level sports representing Assam 5 marks, fine arts and cultural activities representing Assam at national level 5 marks, earlier High School or Higher Secondary TET qualified but never appointed candidates get 5 per cent of their TET marks (maximum 5), and BTC contractual teachers (Mathematics and Science, six months in 2025) get 5 marks.
Merit lists are drawn in a 1:1 ratio with the vacancies — stream-wise for GT posts and subject-wise for PGT posts. If posts remain vacant after the first list, the Directorate can publish up to two more merit lists. If two or more candidates obtain the same aggregate marks, the older candidate is preferred. The exam date has not been announced yet — it will be notified on education.bodoland.gov.in.
