Exam Guide

Your complete guide to KVS recruitment

KVS recruits Primary (PRT), Trained Graduate (TGT) and Post Graduate (PGT) teachers for Kendriya Vidyalayas across India. This guide walks you through the posts, eligibility, exam pattern, syllabus, a realistic preparation plan and the application process — organised so you always know which cycle a figure belongs to.

Always verify against the official notification. KVS recruitment has run under two very different regimes — the 2022–23 cycle (KVS-run, a single objective paper, no negative marking) and the current 2025–26 cycle (CBSE-run, a two-tier exam, with negative marking). Vacancies, fees, dates and even the Tier-2 format differ between coaching portals. Treat everything here as a working model and confirm anything you act on against the official notification on kvsangathan.nic.in and cbse.gov.in.
