Chhattisgarh Teacher Vacancy 2026: Subject-Wise Posts, Eligibility & Exam Date
The Directorate of Public Instruction, Chhattisgarh has advertised 1,654 posts of Teacher (Shikshak) — the post is Teacher, not Assistant Teacher — with the examination run by CG Vyapam. Vacancies cover six subjects (Hindi, Sanskrit, English, Mathematics, Social Science, Agriculture) across two cadres, E-Cadre 868 and T-Cadre 786. Pay is Pay Matrix Level-08. English alone carries 504 posts.
Three gates decide eligibility: a Chhattisgarh domicile certificate, a graduation carrying the subject you apply for, and D.El.Ed. or B.Ed. plus a TET pass. Age is 21–35 as on 1 January 2026. Applications are open 7 August to 2 September 2026 (5:00 PM) and the exam is tentatively 25 October 2026. The fee has still not been announced — CG Vyapam notifies it separately.

Relaxations stop at an overall cap of 45 years; no combination takes you past it, and no relaxation is allowed on any other ground. For the retrenched-servant and ex-serviceman rows the relaxed age cannot exceed the upper limit by more than 3 years.
Domicile, Certificates and Bars
A Chhattisgarh local resident (domicile) certificate is mandatory. Reserved-category candidates must produce a permanent caste certificate from the competent authority, and SC/ST married women one bearing their father’s name, failing which the age and reservation benefits will not apply. You cannot be appointed if you have more than one living wife (or married a man who already has one), married below the legal minimum age, or have been convicted of an offence against women.
What is the Salary for CG Vyapam Teacher 2026?
The post is fixed in Pay Matrix Level-08, Non-Gazetted Third Class, for both cadres. The advertisement states only the pay matrix level and no rupee figure, so we are not quoting a basic pay the document does not contain. Dearness and other allowances follow State Government orders issued from time to time. Appointment is on probation for three years, extendable by one.
What is the Selection Process for CG Vyapam Teacher 2026?
Selection rests on a single written examination — no interview, no second stage. CG Vyapam will hold it on the tentative date of 25 October 2026. ⚠️ The advertisement prints no exam pattern; questions, marks, duration, negative marking and syllabus come in CG Vyapam’s separate examination notification, so watch the exam calendar and syllabus updates.
The selection list is drawn solely from the written result and is valid 6 months; a category-wise waiting list of up to 25% of the vacant posts is valid 9 months. Verification updates appear on the School Education Department portal linked below. Appointment needs medical fitness — PwBD candidates go before the District Medical Board — plus police character verification, and false information or a document discrepancy cancels your selection at any stage.
