CG Teacher Recruitment 2026: Combined Category-wise Vacancy Summary

Adding up every division and subject across both cadres, here is how the full 1,654 posts break down by reservation category:

Notice how differently the ST share is distributed between the two cadres — Scheduled Tribe candidates hold nearly half of all T-Cadre posts (389 of 786), driven heavily by the Sarguja and Bastar divisions, whereas in E-Cadre the ST share is proportionally smaller (182 of 868). Within all these totals, 30% of posts at every level and division are additionally reserved for women (with preference to widowed or divorced women candidates), and 7% for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities, as horizontal reservations sitting inside the category numbers above rather than as separate additional seats.

CG Teacher Recruitment 2026: Eligibility Criteria

Candidates must satisfy both an educational qualification and a Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) requirement. Any ONE of the following educational qualification routes is accepted:
