What is the difference between PGT and TET? Which one is more difficult? Why?

Greetings from Bansal Academy!

Thank you for reaching out to us with your query regarding the difference between PGT (Post Graduate Teacher) and TET (Teacher Eligibility Test), and which one is more challenging. We appreciate your interest in our coaching services, and we're here to provide you with the information you're seeking.

Difference between PGT and TET:

PGT (Post Graduate Teacher):

• PGT refers to the designation of a teacher who teaches students at the higher secondary or senior secondary level (Classes XI and XII).

• PGTs typically hold a postgraduate degree in the subject they teach, along with a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree.

• They are responsible for providing specialized and in-depth knowledge in their subject area to prepare students for higher-level education or competitive exams.

TET (Teacher Eligibility Test):

• TET is a qualifying examination conducted at the national or state level to assess the eligibility of candidates for teaching positions in primary (Classes I to V) and upper primary (Classes VI to VIII) schools.

• TET does not refer to a specific teaching position but rather a certification that candidates need to obtain to be eligible for teaching positions in government schools.

• The syllabus for TET includes topics related to child development and pedagogy, language proficiency, and specific subject knowledge (for upper primary level).

• Qualifying TET is often a prerequisite for applying for teaching positions in government schools.

Which one is more difficult? Why?

Determining which exam is more challenging, PGT or TET, depends on various factors:

1. Subject Knowledge: PGT exams require a higher level of subject-specific knowledge since PGTs teach students at the higher secondary level. In contrast, TET exams may cover a broader range of topics related to teaching methodologies and child psychology.

2. Competition: The level of competition may vary for PGT and TET exams based on the number of vacancies available and the number of candidates appearing for the exam.

3. Syllabus: The syllabus for PGT exams focuses more on advanced topics within a specific subject area, whereas TET exams cover a broader range of subjects related to teaching and child development.

4. Qualifying Criteria: While both exams have their challenges, TET exams often have a minimum passing score required to qualify, making it crucial for candidates to prepare thoroughly and meet the eligibility criteria.
