What is PGT and TGT in teaching? What is the difference?

Greetings from Bansal Academy!

Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding the terms PGT and TGT in the teaching profession. We appreciate your interest, and we are more than happy to provide you with the information you seek.

PGT (Post Graduate Teacher): PGT stands for Post Graduate Teacher. PGTs are educators who typically teach students at the higher secondary or senior secondary level, covering Classes XI and XII. These teachers are specialized in a particular subject and hold a postgraduate degree in that subject. PGTs play a crucial role in providing an in-depth understanding of their subjects and preparing students for board examinations or other specialized exams.

TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher): TGT stands for Trained Graduate Teacher. TGTs are educators appointed to teach students at the secondary level, covering Classes VI to X. These teachers have received training in both educational theory and the specific subject they teach. TGTs often hold a bachelor's degree in education (B.Ed.) along with a bachelor's degree in their subject. They are responsible for building the foundational knowledge and skills of students.

Differences:

1. Educational Qualification: PGTs typically have a postgraduate degree in the subject they teach, whereas TGTs hold a bachelor's degree in education (B.Ed.) along with a bachelor's degree in their subject.

2. Teaching Level: PGTs teach at the higher secondary or senior secondary level (Classes XI and XII), while TGTs teach at the secondary level (Classes VI to X).

3. Depth of Subject Knowledge: PGTs provide a more specialized and in-depth understanding of their subjects, often preparing students for specialized exams, while TGTs focus on building a foundational understanding of subjects.
