Estimated Salary (As per Chhattisgarh Level-6)

If your readers are wondering what the monthly pay looks like, here is a rough idea of the salary structure under the Chhattisgarh Government Pay Matrix Level-6:

The basic pay scale for this post ranges from ₹19,500 to ₹62,000. For a fresh appointee, the starting basic salary is approximately ₹19,500. On top of this, you will also receive Dearness Allowance (DA) and other government allowances, which are calculated as a percentage of your basic pay.

When all these components are added up, the in-hand salary at the beginning of your career comes to roughly ₹25,000 to ₹30,000 per month. As you gain experience and move up the pay scale with annual increments, this amount will keep increasing over time.

CG Assistant Teacher Recruitment 2026 Exam Pattern

Documents Required

⌄

CG Assistant Teacher Recruitment 2026 Dacuments Required

To apply for the Chhattisgarh Assistant Teacher Recruitment 2026, you need to have certain important documents ready. If even one of these is missing, your application will be rejected outright. So let’s find out which documents you need to keep prepared.

1️⃣ Educational Qualification Documents

The first and most important category is your educational qualification. At the top of the list is your Matriculation (Class 10) certificate. According to the official notification, this is the only valid proof of your age. No other document — such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, or birth certificate — will be accepted as age proof. So keep both your original marksheet and certificate of Class 10 ready.

Next, you will need your Class 12 marksheet. This will prove that you have secured at least 45% or 50% marks — whichever applies as per your eligibility criteria. If you are applying on the basis of D.El.Ed, you must have 50% marks in Class 12, although in some cases 45% is also acceptable.

You will also need to upload your diploma in D.El.Ed, B.El.Ed, or Special Education. This shows that you have completed the necessary training to become a teacher. If you pursued D.El.Ed after graduation, you will also need to show your graduation degree.

The most important document — your TET Pass Certificate. Without TET, you are absolutely not eligible for this recruitment. No matter how good your other qualifications are, if you don’t have TET, there is no point in filling out the form. The TET certificate must be as per NCTE norms.

2️⃣ Reservation / Category Documents

If you belong to a reserved category, you will need to submit additional documents. SC/ST candidates must upload their caste certificate, which must have been issued by the Chhattisgarh state government. An old certificate or one from another state will not be accepted.

OBC candidates, take special note — only the Chhattisgarh state OBC certificate will be considered valid. Central OBC or OBC certificates from any other state are not valid for this recruitment. So if you are OBC, make sure you have the CG state certificate.

Persons with Disabilities (PwD) candidates must submit their disability certificate to avail the 7% reservation benefit. Ex-Servicemen must provide their service certificate mentioning the duration of their service — this will make them eligible for age relaxation. Female candidates do not need any separate certificate, but they get 10 years of age relaxation based on their Aadhaar or matriculation certificate.

3️⃣ Identity and Residence Documents

The biggest condition for this recruitment is that you must be a local resident of Chhattisgarh. For this, having a CG Local Resident Certificate is absolutely mandatory. Without it, you cannot even fill the form. Candidates from outside the state are not eligible at all for this recruitment.

Apart from this, you will also need your Aadhaar card for online verification. An active mobile number is very important because you will receive OTPs on it, and all admit card related information will also be sent to this number. Your email ID should also be active, as official notices and updates will be sent to your email.

4️⃣ Digital Files for Online Application

When you fill out the online form, you will need to upload two things. First is your passport-size photograph, and second is your signature. Both should be in .jpg or .jpeg format, and their size should be between 50 KB and 100 KB.

If your photo or signature exceeds 100 KB, the system will not upload it. So make sure to compress your photo and signature beforehand. Many times, candidates are unable to fill the form due to this small mistake.

5️⃣ Document Verification After Selection

After clearing the written exam, when you get selected, you will need to carry your original documents for verification. This includes your Character Certificate, which is obtained after police verification. You will also need a Medical Fitness Certificate proving that you are physically fit for the job.

Additionally, you will need to submit the original copies of all your educational documents along with two self-attested photocopies of each. Personal documents like Aadhaar card, residence certificate, and birth certificate will also be verified.

How to Apply

⌄

How to Apply for CG Assistant Teacher Recruitment 2026? (Step-by-Step Guide)

The entire application process for the Chhattisgarh Assistant Teacher Recruitment 2026 is completely online. No offline forms or applications sent by post will be accepted. Let’s walk through how you can fill out this form — step by step.

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

First, you need to visit the official website of CGSSB (Chhattisgarh Staff Selection Board). You can use either of these two websites:

vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in
cgssb.cgstate.gov.in

These are the only websites where you will find all recruitment-related information and the online application link. Once on the homepage, look for the link titled “CG Assistant Teacher Recruitment 2026” or “LSAT-26” and click on it.

Step 2: Online Profile Registration

Before filling out the form, you need to register your online profile. If you are already registered on the CGSSB/Vyapam portal, you can log in directly. However, if you are a new user, click on “New Registration” or “Profile Registration”.

During this process, you will need to enter your name, father’s/husband’s name, date of birth, mobile number, email ID, and some basic details. Remember — the information you enter here will appear exactly the same on your admit card and result. Correct any mistakes right now, because later on, you will get very limited chances to make corrections.

Once registration is complete, you will receive a user ID and password. Keep these safe, as you will need them for all future steps.

Step 3: Fill Out the Application Form

After logging in, you will see an “Apply Online” option. Clicking on it will open your application form. Fill out the form very carefully and accurately. The form mainly asks for the following information:

Personal Details — your name, address, caste, gender, marital status, Aadhaar number, etc. Then comes the Educational Qualification section, where you need to enter details of your Class 10, Class 12, D.El.Ed/B.El.Ed, and TET. Provide correct information for every qualification, because during verification, everything must match your original documents.

You will also need to fill in your reservation category — whether you are General, SC, ST, OBC, or PwD. Choose the correct category, because selecting the wrong one can get your form rejected.

Step 4: Upload Photo and Signature

After filling out the form, you need to upload your passport-size photograph and signature. There are some specific rules for this, as clearly mentioned in the official notification:

Your photo and signature must both be in .jpg or .jpeg format. The file size should be between 50 KB and 100 KB. If the size exceeds 100 KB, the system will not accept the file, and if it is below 50 KB, it won’t upload either.

The photo should have a light-colored background, and your face must be clearly visible. No sunglasses, caps, or anything that obstructs your identity should be worn. Your signature should also be clear and neat. Scan a signature done on paper and upload it — digitally created or computer-generated signatures are not valid.

Step 5: Pay the Application Fee

After entering all details and uploading documents, you need to pay the application fee. The fee amount varies according to your category:

General Category: ₹350
OBC: ₹250
SC/ST/PwD: ₹200

You can make the payment only through online mode — debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI.

One important thing to remember — just paying the fee does not mean your form is submitted. Many candidates assume that once the money is deducted, their form is filled. That is not the case. Even after fee payment, you must click the “Final Submit” or “Submit Application” button.

Step 6: Final Submit the Form

This is the most crucial step. After paying the fee, a “Submit” or “Final Submit” button will appear in front of you. Clicking it is absolutely mandatory. Until you submit, your application will be considered incomplete and will not be recorded in the system.

Before submitting, make sure to check the preview once. The preview will show all the information you have entered. Read every field carefully — spelling of your name, mobile number, email ID, category, educational qualification — everything must be correct. If you spot any error, correct it right away.

Once the form is submitted, you will get a confirmation page and a registration number will be generated. Keep this registration number safe — this is what you will use to download your admit card and check your result.

Step 7: Take a Printout

After submitting the form, you should take a printout of your application. It contains all your information, uploaded photo, signature, and payment details. In case of any future complaint or inquiry, this printout will come in handy.

You can also save it as a PDF on your computer or mobile phone for easy access.
