2. Selection Process (The 2026 Three-Tier Model)

KVS has moved toward a more structured evaluation to manage the high volume of applicants:

• Tier 1 (Screening): A Computer-Based Test (CBT) used to shortlist candidates in a 1:10 ratio. Note: Marks from Tier 1 are usually not added to the final merit list.
• Tier 2 (Main Written): A post-specific examination that tests in-depth subject knowledge and pedagogy. These marks do count toward the final merit.
• Tier 3 (Professional Competency): Includes a Demo Teaching session and a Personal Interview.

3. Exam Pattern & Marking

The exam is bilingual (Hindi/English) and conducted online.

• Total Marks: Generally 150–180 questions (1 mark each).
• Negative Marking: None for the general screening, but Tier 2 often carries a penalty (check specific 2026 notification updates for the latest $0.25$ or $1/3$ deduction rules).
• Duration: 150 to 180 minutes.

Common Sections (For both PGT & TGT)

1. Language Proficiency: General English & General Hindi (20–30 marks).
2. General Awareness: Current Affairs, Reasoning, and Computer Literacy (20 marks).
3. Perspectives on Education & Leadership: Pedagogy, Understanding the Learner, and School Organization (40–60 marks).
4. Subject Specific: This is the "Subject Concerned" section (80–100 marks) based on your specialization (e.g., PGT Physics or TGT Maths).
