EMRS TGT Syllabus: Tier I and Tier II
The EMRS TGT syllabus for ESSE 2025 has two distinct jobs. In Tier I, you need to score on common and subject-linked teaching sections and clear Language Competency. In Tier II, you answer objective and descriptive questions from the syllabus for your exact TGT post. Start by downloading the official NESTS TGT syllabus and locating the heading for your subject, as the PDF contains multiple disciplines and specialist posts.
Use the topic examples below to organise practice. Keep the official subject list beside your notes and tick off each item only after you can answer a question about it from memory.
Table of Contents
EMRS TGT syllabus by tier
Stage | What to cover | Output to practise |
|---|---|---|
Tier I scored components | Awareness, reasoning, ICT, teaching aptitude, domain pedagogy and NEP 2020 | Timed objective responses |
Tier I Language Competency | General English, General Hindi and selected regional language | Three separate question sets, one aggregate score |
Tier II subject knowledge | Detailed syllabus of the post you applied for | Objective recall and written answers |
Tier I topics and starting points
Section | Selected topics or focus | Starting task |
|---|---|---|
General Awareness | Current affairs and general knowledge with attention to education | Write a short dated note on an education development and verify the facts. |
Reasoning | Seating arrangements, data sufficiency, directions, series, blood relations, inequalities | Draw the constraints for one arrangement before testing answer options. |
ICT | Computer fundamentals, operating systems, office tools, networks, internet and cyber safety | Explain how to recognise phishing and separate that from a simple junk email. |
Teaching Aptitude | Learner characteristics, teaching methods, teaching aids and evaluation | Write one learning objective and a matching assessment prompt. |
Domain Knowledge | Experiential pedagogy, classroom cases and NEP 2020 | Read a case, identify what learners need to demonstrate, then justify one activity. |
Language Competency | Grammar and comprehension in English and Hindi, plus the chosen regional language | Try a short unseen passage and review why each option is supported or contradicted. |
Treat Teaching Aptitude and Domain Knowledge as separate practice columns. A definition drill helps with assessment terminology. A case drill checks whether you can recognise the same idea when a question describes a classroom decision without naming it.
Tier II topic examples
Post | Examples from the subject syllabus | Practice artifact |
|---|---|---|
Mathematics | Real numbers, elementary number theory and algebra | Worked solutions showing the reason for each transformation. |
Hindi | Language development, Devanagari, grammar and comprehension | Corrected sentences with a short reason and a reading response grounded in the passage. |
Computer Science | Use the Computer Science heading and its listed topics | A glossary, worked examples and an error log indexed by topic. |
Science and Social Studies | Each has its own official subject outline | Diagram or map-based answers where they help explain the concept. |
A Tier II topic is finished when you can explain it under a time limit. For number theory, keep one example and one counterexample beside each rule. For a reading answer, underline the words in the passage that justify the conclusion before writing your explanation.
Language and NEP 2020 revision
Schedule all three language components. English grammar may be quick to revise if you already use it at work, but that can hide gaps in Hindi or in your selected regional language. Recheck the region and language options in the bulletin and match your timed practice to the choice recorded on your application.
For NEP 2020, build short entries with a policy idea, a classroom application and the evidence that would show whether the approach helped students. For a case about mixed reading fluency, you might record a paired reading task and a short individual check of comprehension. Label classroom examples as practice so you can distinguish them from policy text.
Study sequence for both tiers
Build a baseline. Take a mixed Tier I set and write a short answer in your subject before planning the week.
Pair content and application. Combine a common section with one short descriptive exercise on the same day.
Review from memory. On the next day, repeat the rule, example or explanation without reading the notes first.
Record recurring errors. Use EMRS TGT study notes on Testkart to organise one-page summaries and check how they transfer to timed work.
Check the EMRS TGT exam guide on Testkart for the cycle status before reusing a topic list for a later notification.
