EMRS TGT Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

Two and a half hours, OMR. A separate Language Competency part (English, Hindi and a regional language, 10 each) is qualifying, with 12 out of 30 needed. Part V changes with the subject; for TGT Regional Language it is set in that language.

Tier-II

Three hours. Tier-I is the qualifying screen, and about ten candidates per vacancy go through to this paper.

Merit is on Tier-II alone.

Each correct answer earns 1 mark and each wrong one costs one third of a mark. Blanks score nothing. Marking two bubbles counts as wrong.

Tier-I topics: current affairs and general knowledge, reasoning (puzzles, seating, inequality, series, directions, Venn diagrams), computer basics and cyber security, teaching aptitude (nature and objectives of teaching, learner characteristics, methods, teaching aids, evaluation), experiential and case-based pedagogy, and NEP 2020. Language papers in English and Hindi are separate and qualifying.

The TGT syllabus PDF has the Tier-II topic list for English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Computer Science, Librarian, Art, Music and PET, plus the regional languages. It is the biggest syllabus file of the cycle: TGT syllabus PDF.

No ESSE 2026 notice has appeared yet. NESTS announces recruitment on its notifications page and the last cycle opened in September.

Admit cards were download-only, with the city and date shown online. Tier-I city allotment was random, with no choice given on the form, and the notices on the notifications page carried the download links. Check your registered email and the application login for the next cycle.

Tier-II results came out subject by subject: TGT Music on 22 September 2026, regional languages 9 September, Science and Social Studies 1 October, Computer Science and English 7 October. See the notifications page.

Tier-I cut-offs were published on 31 January 2026 on the ESSE 2025 notifications page, post and category wise. The Tier-II result for this post is on the same page too. Cut-offs for the earlier ESSE 2023 cycle are on the ESSE 2023 page.

Tier-I is common to all TGT subjects, so revise it once. Then spend the remaining time on the Tier-II subject PDF. Regional-language candidates should read the language-specific syllabus separately.
