About This Recruitment
Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board has notified recruitment for 1,654 posts under ESTB-101/207/2025/131. Applications are accepted online from 07 Aug 2026 to 02 Sept 2026. The prescribed qualification is Graduation with D.El.Ed. or B.Ed., together with a qualifying TET score, and the age limit is 21 to 35 years before category relaxation is applied. The vacancies are spread across 6 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Written examination (LST 26) and Document verification. The place of posting is Chhattisgarh. The examination is currently scheduled for 25 Oct 2026, which leaves a defined window to work back from when planning preparation.
The application fee is ₹350 for General / Unreserved. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. A correction window is available after applications close, and it is the only opportunity to amend most fields — details are in the dates table below.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.

Educational Qualification
The qualification must be held on or before the cut-off date stated in the notification. Final-year candidates should check whether provisional applications are permitted for this recruitment.
| Post | Required Qualification |
|---|---|
| Teacher (E and T cadre) | Graduation with a D.El.Ed.; or graduation with at least 50% marks and a B.Ed.; or graduation with 45% marks and a B.Ed. under NCTE norms; or Class 12 with 50% and a four-year B.El.Ed., B.A. B.Ed. or B.Sc. B.Ed.; or graduation with 50% and a one-year B.Ed. in Special Education. A qualifying TET score is required in every case. |
- A qualifying TET score is mandatory — a B.Ed. or D.El.Ed. alone does not make you eligible.
- The correction window runs 3 to 5 September 2026, after which nothing in the form can be changed.
- Vacancies are subject-wise. English carries the most posts at 504, and your subject determines the merit list you compete in.

Selection Process
Each stage is qualifying for the next. Clearing a stage does not carry marks forward unless the notification says so.
- 1Written examination (LST 26) — 100 objective questions of one mark each, with a quarter-mark penalty for a wrong answer
- 2Document verification — carried out by the recruiting department for shortlisted candidates
Exam Pattern
Understanding the marking scheme is worth as much as the syllabus — attempt strategy depends on the negative marking below.
| Section | Questions | Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Objective paper (LST 26) | 100 | 100 | 2 hours, 10:00 am to 12:15 pm |
Each question carries one mark and **a quarter mark is deducted for every wrong answer**, so blind guessing costs more than it returns.
