CG Vyapam clears 2,292 Assistant Teacher posts exam tentative October 11, 2026
Chhattisgarh's Lok Shiksha Sanchanalaya issued a short notice on April 16 confirming 2,292 Assistant Teacher vacancies — 795 in E-cadre English-medium schools and 1,497 in T-cadre Hindi-medium schools. Detailed notification is awaited; the exam is tentative for October 11, 2026.
On the afternoon of April 16, the Lok Shiksha Sanchanalaya in Nava Raipur uploaded a one-page short notice to the eduportal — 2,292 Assistant Teacher posts cleared for filling, exam slot booked at CG Vyapam for October 11, 2026. By the evening, every B.Ed graduate's WhatsApp group from Bilaspur to Bastar was sharing the notice. For government schools watching their staff rolls thin out across the last three sessions, this is the biggest hiring window CG has cleared in years.
What the notice actually says
The short notice — 'Sankshipt Vigyapan' in CG's own wording — confirms the post split: 795 E-cadre vacancies for English-medium government schools and 1,497 T-cadre vacancies for Hindi-medium government schools. CG Vyapam is the conducting authority; the application portal opens at vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in and eduportal.cg.nic.in. Per prep-portal guidance the eligibility ladder is 12th + D.El.Ed/D.Ed (45-50%), or graduation + B.Ed, with mandatory CG TET Paper 1 or CTET Paper 1 qualification. Age window is 21 to 35, with relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwD candidates. Pay-Level 6 — basic ~₹35,400 plus DA and HRA. The detailed notification with application open and close dates and fees is pending. Schools tracking employee information and incoming staff onboarding should pre-build their reference letter pipeline — the same season's Class 10 toppers in Chhattisgarh will be applying for these very classrooms three sessions later.
What this changes for your school
If you run a government or aided CG school, this drive plugs a gap that was forcing your senior teachers to handle two-section workloads. If you run a private CG school, the same drive is your competition for talent — every B.Ed graduate considering your offer also has a stable Pay-Level 6 government option opening up by October. Plan your retention conversations and your employee payroll revisions before the exam window closes. The October exam means selected candidates report by January 2027 onboarding — that is when private schools either lose their best second-year teachers or do not.
What to watch next
CG has signalled a second wave of 3,854 TGT and PGT vacancies through the Department of School Education in the same calendar year. Detailed Assistant Teacher notification with application dates is expected by mid-May 2026. CG TET Paper 1 candidates who have not yet cleared can sit the next CTET cycle to qualify in time.

Frequently asked
3 questionsWhat is the difference between E-cadre and T-cadre Assistant Teachers?
E-cadre posts are for English-medium government schools; T-cadre posts are for Hindi-medium government schools. The 2,292 vacancy split — 795 E-cadre + 1,497 T-cadre — reflects CG's current school-mix bias toward Hindi-medium government schools. Most candidates apply to one cadre based on the language they have a teaching qualification in.
Is CG TET Paper 1 mandatory if I have CTET Paper 1?
Either qualifies. The CG Vyapam recruitment accepts CTET Paper 1 or CG TET Paper 1 as eligibility for Assistant Teacher posts. Candidates with CTET typically avoid the second exam. Schools should keep both certificates on file when they hire — the format the next state asks for can differ.
When should our school's HR start preparing for incoming new hires?
The exam is in October; results land by December; selected candidates report by January-February for the next session's onboarding. Plan your reference-letter pipeline, your subject-mapping for the new teachers, and your payroll Level-6 budget by October itself. Schools that wait until December scramble in January.
