Odisha LTR Teacher Eligibility by Post
Odisha LTR Teacher eligibility depends on the advertised teaching post. For Advertisement 4231/OSSC, the base age range was 21 to 38 years on 1 January 2024, with relaxations under the notice. Match your degree subjects and teacher training against the post row before checking the application requirements.

Odisha LTR Teacher eligibility at a glance
Check | Where to verify it |
|---|---|
Age | Base advertisement and applicable relaxation table |
Academic degree | Subject, marks and recognised university in the post entry |
Teacher training | Applicable B.Ed., integrated degree or other prescribed route |
Teacher eligibility test | Relevant OSSTET condition in the advertisement and corrigenda |
Odia language | Accepted evidence under the advertisement's language clause |
Documents | Originals and copies required by the certificate-verification notice |
Search for the detailed advertisement and its corrigenda on the OSSC official portal. Use the latest wording for your post. TGT Odia was added in January 2025, so the original October advertisement alone cannot answer that post's eligibility questions.
Degree and teacher training
Post | Example of what to check |
|---|---|
TGT Arts | Recognised Arts or Commerce degree or the listed Shastri route, two accepted school subjects and the prescribed training or integrated route |
TGT Science PCM | The listed science or engineering route and two recognised school subjects from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics |
TGT Science CBZ | The listed degree and two applicable subjects from the CBZ eligibility list, plus the prescribed training route |
TGT Odia | Odia as an eligible degree subject, the prescribed marks and accepted teacher training under the corrigendum |
Language teacher | The named language and the exact academic or training route specified |
PET | The post-specific academic and physical education qualifications |
The original TGT Arts and science degree routes specify 50% aggregate marks, or 45% for the categories identified in the advertisement, with the prescribed teacher training. Check integrated routes separately. Subject combinations in a marksheet matter. A B.Ed. certificate by itself does not establish that a degree included the right school subjects.
Age, language and OSSTET checks
Calculate age on the advertised reference date, then apply the listed relaxation only if you meet its evidence requirements. If your age, degree or category certificate uses a different reference date, check each condition separately. The application deadline is not a substitute for the stated age reference date.
The Board of Secondary Education Odisha OSSTET page explains the separate teacher eligibility test. Use OSSC's recruitment documents to determine which OSSTET category and proof the post requires. The TGT Odia corrigendum, for example, specifies OSSTET in TGT Arts in the concerned category. Check the required Odia language proof separately from the subject requirements for your degree.
Prepare for certificate verification
Keep original academic and training records, marksheets, the application copy and any applicable category or employment certificate. Review the actual call notice for document sets and attendance requirements. Use the Odisha LTR Teacher overview to identify your recruitment cycle. Testkart preparation can help with the written stages, while the official advertisement determines eligibility.
