KVS TGT Vacancies: 3,069 Posts by Subject and Category (Corrigendum 3)

KVS TGT vacancies by subject: the revised table

The table gives the revised number of posts for each subject and category exactly as Corrigendum 3 prints them: UR, EWS, OBC (non-creamy layer), SC and ST, then the total. Persons with benchmark disabilities (PwBD) are a horizontal reservation, so their numbers sit inside the category rows. The four disability columns follow the notification's own labels: locomotor disability (LD), visually impaired (VI), hearing impaired (HI) and others. A star means the notification says the figure includes backlog vacancies.

The all-subject row is the printed total of Corrigendum 3 and our column sums agree with it. It carries a figure that is easy to miss: the Hindi line has only 46 posts in all of KVS, against 558 for Sanskrit, 451 for Mathematics and 359 each for English and Social Studies. A Hindi aspirant and a Sanskrit aspirant are not in the same race even though both applied for the same recruitment on the same dates.

What Corrigendum 3 changed, subject by subject

Every subject line moved except Special Educator (TGT), which stayed at 493. The largest percentage jump is Hindi, from 13 posts to 46. In raw posts Sanskrit gained 29, Mathematics 38, English 45, Social Studies 32, Science 20, Physical and Health Education 23, Art Education 16 and Work Experience 39. The table below sets the two documents side by side, with the difference computed by us.

Category posts and what they mean for you

Across the ten subjects the 3,069 posts divide into 1,267 unreserved, 301 EWS, 824 OBC-NCL, 454 SC and 223 ST. In percentage terms that is 41.3 per cent UR, 9.8 per cent EWS, 26.8 per cent OBC-NCL, 14.8 per cent SC and 7.3 per cent ST; the percentages are our division of the printed figures. The split differs a little by subject, as the stacked chart shows, because each line has its own category roster.

The posts behind the posts: sanctioned strength in the recruitment rules

The notified vacancies are the posts to be filled in this recruitment, including anticipated ones, not the size of the cadre. KVS's amended recruitment rules (the office memorandum of 27 June 2025 attached to the Schedule II rules) give the sanctioned strength for 2024-25: TGT Hindi 2,264, English 2,767, Sanskrit 1,503, Mathematics 2,795, Science 1,859 and Social Science 2,367, "subject to variation depending on workload". The rules also say TGT posts are filled 66.67 per cent by direct recruitment and 33.33 per cent by a limited departmental examination open to PRTs with five years of regular service. The notification itself is the direct-recruitment route, so the notified posts are not a share of the sanctioned strength; they are the vacancies KVS chose to advertise.

We do not divide one column by the other. The sanctioned figure is a workload-based cadre count that moves every year, and the notified figure is what was advertised on a particular day; a ratio of the two would look like a vacancy rate and is not one.

What the Tier-1 counts say about each subject

Mathematics drew the biggest field, with 67,438 candidates appearing, against 25,977 for English and 8,978 for Sanskrit. Work Experience, Art Education and Special Educator drew fields in the hundreds or low thousands. The last column is a pass-through rate and tells you something specific: in subjects where the field was large, roughly one appeared candidate in six to nine moved on to Tier-2 (Mathematics 11.1 per cent, Science 11.5 per cent, Social Studies 15.6 per cent), while in Work Experience every one of the 1,320 who appeared was shortlisted, and in Special Educator all but a few. Tier-1 is a screening test, as the notification says, and the screen only bites where applicants outnumber the quota several times over.

One check supports reading the shortlist as the notification's rule. Tier-1 shortlists "in the ratio of 1:10 (relative to notified vacancies)", plus ties. The next table adds the KVS posts to the NVS posts for the same subject (the NVS numbers are the unchanged lines of the same notification and corrigendum) and multiplies by ten. Where enough candidates appeared, the shortlist lands within a few per cent of that figure, which is what ties and per-category rounding would produce. It is our inference, not a CBSE statement.

Read the last two columns together. For Art Education, Work Experience and Special Educator, ten times the posts is more than the number of candidates who appeared, so everyone or almost everyone went through; for Sanskrit, Mathematics, English, Hindi, Science, Social Studies and Physical and Health Education the shortlist sits close to ten times the combined posts. The physical-education NVS figure is the sum of the male and female lines (124 + 128).

Subjects that are not in this table

Three groups are easy to confuse with KVS TGT and are not in the tables above. TGT Computer Science and TGT Music are NVS posts in this notification and have no KVS line. The regional-language TGTs (Assamese, Bangla, Gujarati and others) are NVS posts as well. The KVS Librarian is a separate line, with 166 posts after the corrigendum, and shares the TGT merit scheme but not the subject eligibility. PRT and PGT are different posts with different age limits and levels, as the notification shows: PRT is Level 6 with an upper age limit of 30 and CTET Paper I, and PGT is Level 8 with an upper age limit of 40 and no CTET. This series covers TGT only.

Earlier cycles: why there is no trend table here

A year-by-year vacancy trend needs the official table of each earlier notification, and we could not open one. KVS ran an earlier combined recruitment in 2022-23, and news and coaching pages quote a total for it, but the notification PDF is not among the documents we could read on the KVS and CBSE sites on 3 October 2026, so we print no number for it. A subject-wise trend from reported figures would put unverified numbers beside verified ones and invite a comparison they cannot support. When an official earlier table can be opened it will be added here with its source.

Where the cycle stands on 3 October 2026

All ten KVS TGT posts now have a Tier-II result. CBSE declared them in phases: Work Experience on 20 August, Mathematics and Sanskrit on 25 August, Science on 26 August, Art Education on the date printed on its note (28 August), Social Science, Special Educator and English on 1 September, Physical and Health Education on 3 September and Hindi on 5 September 2026. For TGT the result "indicates the candidate's status for shortlisting to the interview"; CBSE adds that marksheets are issued within 15 days of the final result, after the interview. No TGT interview schedule or final result had been published at the time of checking, and no new TGT notification had been announced.

That is why this page publishes post counts and application counts and no cut-off marks. CBSE has not released Tier-II marks for interview posts, and a number from a coaching portal would be a guess printed as a fact.
