CG Teacher LST26 Preparation Strategy — Subject-Wise Tips

  • Understand the exam pattern first — 100 objective questions, 2-hour duration, 1/4 negative marking; plan your attempt strategy around accuracy over speed
  • Focus on your chosen subject in depth — since only one subject/post can be applied for, master the core concepts, NCERT/state board textbooks, and previous exam trends for that subject
  • Cover Teaching Pedagogy topics — child psychology, teaching methods, and classroom management concepts are commonly tested alongside subject knowledge in teacher recruitment exams
  • Revise TET-level concepts — since TET qualification is mandatory, revisiting TET syllabus material strengthens the core preparation for LST26 as well
  • Stay updated on Chhattisgarh GK — state-specific general knowledge, government schemes, and current affairs are frequently asked in CG Vyapam exams
  • Avoid negative marking — attempt only confident questions, since 1/4 mark is deducted per wrong answer
  • Take regular mock tests and solve previous papers of CG Vyapam Teacher and similar TET/TGT exams to build speed and accuracy

CG Teacher (TGT) Job Profile — Roles & Responsibilities

  • Teaching the allotted subject (Hindi, Sanskrit, English, Mathematics, Social Science, or Agriculture) to students in government schools under the E and T cadre
  • Preparing lesson plans, conducting classroom assessments, and evaluating student performance
