TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher) posts are for teaching classes 6 to 10 in Himachal Pradesh government schools. Recruitment is done by the Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog (HPRCA), Hamirpur, separately for TGT (Arts), TGT (Non-Medical) and TGT (Medical), each with its own post code and subject paper. Candidates need a bachelor's degree in the relevant subjects, a B.Ed and a pass in the matching HP TET (TGT) category conducted by HPBOSE.
Recent drives select candidates through a computer-based screening test (CBT) followed by document verification. The notification states the exact stages, subject weightage and age limit. HPRCA advertised the TGT (Arts), TGT (Non-Medical) and TGT (Medical) posts one after another in the 2025-26 cycle, and as reported the computer-based tests were held in December 2025 (Medical, Non-Medical) and January 2026 (Arts), with about 425 Arts, 343 Non-Medical and 169 Medical vacancies (937 in all). Answer keys and results for that cycle are already out, so keep your TET certificate and degree documents ready before the next notification.
TGT paper me tumhare apne subject ka sabse bada hissa hota hai (Arts me social science aur languages, Non-Medical me Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Medical me Biology, Chemistry). Baaki me pedagogy, Himachal GK, current affairs aur reasoning aate hain. Subject strong ho to hi cutoff safe hota hai.
