💡 Expert Tip

Candidates applying for posts 1 to 6 (Kannada, English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science, and Social Science Teacher) must separately hold a valid TET Paper-II certificate issued by the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Department, or a CTET certificate from the Central Board of Secondary Education — without this, your application will not be accepted regardless of your degree and B.Ed qualifications. If you studied your subject through English medium at degree level, keep an attested copy from your university registrar or college principal ready, since Social Science Teacher applicants from residential schools running in English medium must specifically prove English-medium study at the qualifying stage. Also double-check the Kannada language proficiency requirement carefully if you are applying for Hindi, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Computer Science, or Physical Education Teacher posts — a specific SSLC-level Kannada pass or equivalent Kannada certificate exam clearance is mandatory unless you studied Kannada as a language subject up to the degree level.
