Madhya Pradesh does not use "PGT/TGT" as formal post names — it uses Varg 1/2/3. This is recruited by MPESB (renamed from the infamous "Vyapam" in 2022). Varg 1 = Higher Secondary Teacher (PGT-equivalent), Varg 2 = Secondary Teacher (TGT-equivalent), Varg 3 = Primary Teacher (fed by MPTET).

⚡ Quick Answer (At a Glance)

Body: Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB), formerly "Vyapam" — renamed 2022
Varg 1 = PGT-equivalent (classes 11-12); Varg 2 = TGT-equivalent (classes 9-10); Varg 3 = Primary (classes 1-8)
Varg 2 2025 cycle: 10,758 vacancies. Varg 3/PSTST 2025-26: vacancy count disputed (10,150 to 18,650 cited)
Pattern: mostly 100 MCQs/100 marks, 2 hrs, no confirmed negative marking
*No confirmed fresh 2026 mega-notification exists — 15,000-30,000 figures circulating are speculative

📢 Terminology note

If you're searching for "MP PGT" or "MP TGT," look for "Varg 1" and "Varg 2" respectively on MPESB's site — these are the actual official post names, not PGT/TGT.

Overview

Body	MPESB (formerly Vyapam, renamed 2022)
Varg 1 (PGT-eq.)	Master's + B.Ed, min 2nd division
Varg 2 (TGT-eq.)	Graduate (50%) + B.Ed
Varg 3 / MPTET	Higher Secondary (50%) + D.El.Ed

Eligibility

Varg 1: Master's + B.Ed (2nd division), or PG(55%) + integrated B.Ed-M.Ed; must have qualified MP TET/HSTET Varg 1.
Varg 2: Graduate (50%) + B.Ed, or 4-yr B.El.Ed/B.A.Ed/B.Sc.Ed, or MP TET Secondary pass.
Varg 3/MPTET: Higher Secondary (50%) + 2-yr D.El.Ed/D.Special Ed.
*Age 21-40 (male), 21-45 (female/reserved) as a general pattern — exact per-cycle figures vary.

Selection Process & Exam Pattern

*Standalone MP TET: 150 MCQs/marks, 2.5 hrs, no negative marking. Qualifying: 60% general, 50% SC/ST.
*Varg 2/3 "Selection Test" (recent cycles): 100 MCQs/100 marks, 2 hrs. Content: Hindi, English, GK, Reasoning, Pedagogy + subject paper. Negative marking disputed across sources.
MP has run BOTH a standalone-TET-then-separate-exam model AND a merged TET-cum-selection-test model in different years — check which applies to the current cycle before stating a definitive process.

Syllabus

Varg 3/TET: Child Development & Pedagogy, Language I & II, Mathematics, EVS. Varg 2: General Hindi/English, GK, Reasoning, Pedagogy + chosen subject at classes 9-12 level. Varg 1: subject-specific postgraduate-level content (detailed breakdown not verified).

Pay Scale

*Reported: Varg 1 ₹25,340-32,580, Varg 2 ₹25,000-30,000+DA, Varg 3 ₹17,700-22,770 (probation) — these are approximate pay bands, notably lower than central-govt TGT/PGT figures; not confirmed against an official pay-matrix document.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is "Varg 1/2/3" in MP teacher recruitment?

MP's official post names instead of PGT/TGT/PRT: Varg 1 = Higher Secondary Teacher (PGT-equivalent), Varg 2 = Secondary/High School Teacher (TGT-equivalent), Varg 3 = Primary Teacher.

Is Vyapam still the recruiting body?

It was renamed to Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB/ESB) in 2022 to move away from the "Vyapam" name after the 2013-15 scam. Same functions, new name.

The Varg terminology and body-name history are well-corroborated. Exam-pattern model (standalone TET vs merged selection test), exact vacancy counts, and pay figures conflict across sources and need verification against the current official notification.
