EMRS TGT Eligibility: Age, Degree and CTET
EMRS TGT eligibility under ESSE 2025 depended on your post, age on 23 October 2025 and the subjects documented on your qualifications. The standard subject TGT routes in the ESSE 2025 information bulletin require the prescribed graduation or integrated course combination, a recognised education qualification where required and CTET Paper II. The bulletin gives Computer Science and specialist posts separate entries.
Start with the exact vacancy name. A graduation certificate can show your degree award but leave out the subjects studied in each year. Pull your semester or annual marksheets before you decide which row you qualify under.

The common degree routes include an NCTE-recognised four-year integrated graduation route and a recognised bachelor’s or honours route, with prescribed individual-subject and aggregate marks. The bulletin also describes a postgraduate route with at least 55% or equivalent grade and an NCTE-recognised three-year integrated B.Ed.–M.Ed. with at least 50%, subject to the specified graduation subjects.
For the standard subject posts, record the teacher-education qualification and CTET Paper II details alongside the degree. The regional-language provision can allow a state-approved education degree in lieu of B.Ed. under the conditions in the bulletin. Confirm the rule for your specific state and language.
Post example | What to match in your marksheets |
|---|---|
Social Studies | Two subjects from History, Geography, Economics and Political Science, with History or Geography as the required main subject across all three years and the second subject for at least one year or two semesters under the stated route. |
Science | The listed main subject and companion subjects. For example, Botany as the main subject pairs with Chemistry and Zoology. |
Computer Science | One of the separately listed BCA, Computer Science or IT graduation, or BE/B.Tech Computer Science or IT routes, subject to marks and course conditions. |
When the bulletin accepts a credit-based route, organise course titles by semester and preserve a transcript that documents the credits. If a subject name differs from the notification, use the issuer’s official instructions for any equivalence or clarification.
