AEES Teacher Recruitment 2026: 254 Teaching Vacancies, Eligibility, Fee, Exam Pattern and Apply Online

AEES Teacher Recruitment 2026: 254 Teaching Vacancies, Eligibility, Fee, Exam Pattern and Apply Online

Atomic Energy Education Society (AEES), an autonomous organisation under the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, has issued Recruitment Notification 01/2026 for direct recruitment to teaching and academic posts in AEES schools. The notification covers 254 tentative vacancies for Principal, Vice-Principal, Post Graduate Teacher, Trained Graduate Teacher, Librarian, Primary Teacher, Primary Teacher Music and Balvatika Teacher.

AEES runs 30 schools across 15 centres and offers education from Balvatika to Class XII, with English as the medium of instruction. Selected candidates may be posted anywhere in India on initial appointment. A request for change of station or region will not be entertained, so applicants should apply only if they are ready for all-India posting.

The first decision for an applicant is not the fee payment. It is the correct post and subject. Read the subject-combination rules carefully, especially for TGT Mathematics-Physics, TGT Chemistry-Biology, TGT Social Studies, PGT subjects and language posts. A candidate may submit separate applications for different posts where permitted, but must not apply for multiple subjects within the same PGT or TGT category.

Which AEES post is suitable for you?

AEES Recruitment 2026 is not one single eligibility examination. Each post has a different qualification, age limit and assessment method. Use the following guide before opening the application form.

Principal

The Principal post requires a Master’s degree with at least 50% marks and a recognised B.Ed. with at least 50%, or an accepted integrated B.Ed.-M.Ed. or integrated degree with a B.Ed. component. The candidate must also have qualifying experience as Principal, Vice-Principal, PGT/Lecturer or combined service in the specified Central/State Government or autonomous-organisation pay levels. Knowledge of computer applications is required. The age range is 35 to 50 years. Selection is through CBT and interview.

TGT subject-combination rules you must check

TGT applicants should not rely only on the name of their degree. AEES checks the subjects studied for the required number of years or semesters. For TGT English, English must be studied as an elective or main subject for at least three years or six semesters. TGT Hindi-Sanskrit requires Hindi or Sanskrit for the same duration, and TGT Marathi requires Marathi for the same duration.

For TGT Mathematics-Physics, Mathematics must be studied for at least three years or six semesters, Physics for at least one year or two semesters, and one of Chemistry, Electronics, Computer Science or Statistics for at least one year or two semesters. Candidates with B.Sc. Honours in Physics or Chemistry are specifically stated to be ineligible for this TGT post.

For TGT Chemistry-Biology, the candidate must have Biology, Life Science, Botany or Zoology as the main subject for the required duration, with the prescribed Chemistry/Botany/Zoology combination. For TGT Social Studies, the candidate must have studied any two subjects out of History, Geography, Economics and Political Science, with at least one being History or Geography.

Applicants following the Choice Based Credit System may be eligible when the required subject and duration conditions are satisfied. Read the full subject table in the official notification before making the selection.

Application fee and exemption

Applicant category	Application fee	Processing fee	Total before GST
General / other eligible applicants	₹750	₹250	₹1,000
Women / SC / ST / PwBD / Ex-Servicemen	Nil	₹250	₹250

Payment is online through debit card, credit card or net banking. GST may be charged by the bank. Fee paid through money order, demand draft, IPO or another mode will be rejected. The application fee is not refundable. If a card transaction is cancelled and the status is not OK, the amount may be refunded by the bank within a week and the candidate must make a successful payment again.

AEES selection process explained

Selection for all posts begins with a Computer Based Test. Depending on the post, candidates who meet the CBT threshold are called for either an interview or a skill test.

Post group	After CBT	Final merit
Principal / Vice-Principal	Interview	CBT and interview in 50:50 weightage, subject to separate qualifying marks.
PGT / TGT / Librarian / PRT / PRT Music / Balvatika Teacher	Qualifying chalk-and-board skill test	CBT merit only among candidates marked “Go” in the skill test.

For UR and EWS vacancies, candidates generally need at least 60% in CBT for skill-test or interview shortlisting. For SC, ST, OBC and PwBD vacancies, the stated threshold is 54%. AEES may lower the threshold if sufficient candidates are not available, but the notification specifies lower limits of 55% for UR/EWS and 49% for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD in that situation.

Mere qualification in CBT does not guarantee a call. Candidates are called according to merit and the prescribed number for each post and category. The teaching skill test is qualifying and follows a “Go/No Go” system. A candidate marked “No Go” is not empanelled even if the CBT score is high.

CBT pattern for PGT, TGT, Librarian, PRT and Balvatika posts

CBT component	Questions / marks	Aspirant focus
General English	5	Grammar and vocabulary.
General Hindi	5	Hindi language fundamentals.
General Reasoning	5	Basic logical and analytical reasoning.
General Knowledge	5	Current affairs and general awareness.
Basic Computer Literacy	5	Computer fundamentals and common applications.
Numerical Ability	5	Basic arithmetic and numerical problem-solving.
Teaching Methodology	15	Learning, pedagogy, classroom practice and assessment.
Concerned subject	75	Main scoring area; follow the post-specific syllabus.
Total and duration	120 marks, 2 hours	No negative marking.

The notification states that the proportion of questions within the listed subject areas may not be equal for every subject. Candidates should use the detailed syllabus made available on the AEES Online Application Portal. There is no provision for re-evaluation of CBT responses.

CBT pattern for Principal and Vice-Principal

For Principal and Vice-Principal, the CBT contains 150 questions for 150 marks and lasts two hours and thirty minutes. There is no negative marking. The paper tests General English, General Hindi, General Reasoning, General Knowledge, Basic Computer Literacy, Numerical Ability, Understanding the Learner, Teaching-Learning, planning and organisation, learning environment, school leadership, education perspective, management and administration/finance.

Principal and Vice-Principal candidates who qualify are called for interview in order of merit. Final selection uses 50% CBT marks and 50% interview marks. Candidates must separately satisfy the prescribed qualifying standard in both CBT and interview. A reserved candidate applying against a UR vacancy cannot claim category relaxation in the CBT or interview for that UR competition.

How to apply online

1. Open the official AEES Online Application Portal: aees.onlineregistrationforms.com.
2. Use a personal, active email ID and mobile number. Do not use another person’s login details.
3. Read the post-wise qualification and subject-combination rules before selecting a post.
4. Submit only one application for each post you wish to apply for. Within PGT and TGT, select only one subject.
5. Enter the name, parents’ names, date of birth, category and gender exactly as shown in the Class X certificate or marksheet.
6. Upload a recent clear colour photograph, signature and the required education, category, disability and experience documents.
7. Pay the application and processing fee online. Women, SC, ST, PwBD and Ex-Servicemen candidates receive application-fee exemption, but the ₹250 processing fee remains payable.
8. Check that the payment status is successful. If the confirmation page is not generated, the application is incomplete.
9. Download and retain the confirmation page and application printout. Do not send the printout by post; it will be required later during document verification.

Documents to prepare before applying

• Class X certificate, marksheet or other date-of-birth proof.
• Class XII or Senior Secondary certificate, wherever applicable.
• Graduation and post-graduation marksheets and degree certificates.
• B.Ed., B.Ed.-M.Ed., D.El.Ed., B.El.Ed., B.P.Ed., D.E.C.Ed. or other post-specific training certificates.
• CTET Paper-I or Paper-II certificate/marks statement for posts where CTET is required.
• SC/ST certificate, Central OBC-NCL certificate, EWS income-and-asset certificate or PwBD/UDID documents, where applicable.
• Experience certificates for Principal, Vice-Principal or candidates claiming relevant experience.
• No Objection Certificate and vigilance clearance for Government, PSU or autonomous-organisation employees when required.
• Recent police verification certificate not older than six months at the relevant final-stage appearance, or acknowledged proof of application for the certificate.
• Valid photo ID: Aadhaar, Voter ID, Driving Licence, PAN, Passport, Government/PSU/Autonomous Body employee ID or another Government-issued photo ID.

AEES directs candidates to scan documents using a proper scanner rather than a mobile-phone camera or another application. Unclear, incomplete or improperly uploaded documents can lead to rejection. Keep original documents ready for the later stage.

Reservation and certificate warnings

OBC candidates must belong to the Central Government OBC list and must satisfy the Non-Creamy Layer requirement. The notification states that the OBC-NCL certificate should be issued between 1 April 2026 and the date of joining in AEES. A candidate belonging to the creamy layer must apply as General.

For EWS reservation, the family gross annual income must be below ₹8 lakh for the relevant financial year, subject to the prescribed asset exclusions. The family must not own or possess five acres or more of agricultural land, a residential flat of 1,000 square feet or more, a residential plot of 100 square yards or more in a notified municipality, or a residential plot of 200 square yards or more in other areas. The income-and-asset certificate must be valid for the recruitment year and available by the closing date.

Age concessions are concurrent: if a candidate qualifies for more than one concession, only the highest permissible concession is generally granted. Women candidates receive a special ten-year relaxation for PGT, TGT, Librarian, PRT and Balvatika posts, but not for Principal or Vice-Principal under the stated table. PwBD relaxation is 10 years for General, 13 years for OBC and 15 years for SC/ST, with additional rules for eligible AEES employees.

PwBD scribe and compensatory-time rules

Eligible PwBD candidates may use a scribe or receive compensatory time according to the notification and the required medical certificates. Except for specified blindness provisions where AEES may arrange a scribe on request, eligible candidates generally need to bring their own scribe. The scribe’s qualification must be one step below the essential minimum qualification for the post.

The scribe cannot be another candidate appearing in the same CBT. The scribe must carry an original photo ID, and copies of the required declaration and ID may need to be submitted. Eligible candidates receive 20 minutes of compensatory time for a one-hour CBT, proportionately for other durations. No extra time is provided during the skill test.

Posting, examination centres and final appointment

AEES has schools across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Odisha, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and other regions. The CBT is proposed in cities including Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Lucknow, Jaipur, Pune, Nagpur and several other centres.

The skill test and interview will be held only at AEES, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai. Candidates called for the final stage must plan travel accordingly. AEES may cancel a city or divert candidates to another city for the CBT. For initial appointment, selected candidates may be posted anywhere in India, and station or region-change requests will not be accepted.

Aspirant preparation strategy

Start with eligibility, not coaching material

Make a one-page eligibility checklist containing your degree, subject combinations, B.Ed. or teacher-training qualification, CTET requirement, age and category certificate. This prevents the most serious error: preparing for a subject for which the application is not valid.

Give priority to the 75-mark subject section

For PGT, TGT, Librarian, PRT, PRT Music and Balvatika posts, the concerned subject carries 75 out of 120 marks. Teaching Methodology carries 15 marks, while the remaining general sections carry five marks each. Build most of your study schedule around the concerned subject while maintaining daily practice in reasoning, language, computer literacy and numerical ability.

Prepare for the skill test from the beginning

The chalk-and-board test is not a formality. It is qualifying on a Go/No Go basis, and a No Go result blocks empanelment. Practise explaining a topic clearly, writing a structured board presentation, using age-appropriate examples and completing a short lesson within the likely time limit.

Principal and Vice-Principal candidates need interview preparation

For leadership posts, CBT marks alone do not decide selection. Prepare school administration, academic leadership, classroom observation, child-centred education, assessment, staff supervision, financial administration, computer use and current education policy. Since CBT and interview have equal weightage, neglecting the interview can undo a strong written score.

Use the mock CBT and answer-key window

AEES plans to provide a mock CBT link in the applicant login for provisionally eligible candidates. Use it to become familiar with the computer interface. After the examination, the answer key will be displayed within three days and challenges must be submitted online within 72 hours. The challenge fee is ₹250 per question, and it is refunded if the reported discrepancy is found correct.

Common mistakes that can cancel candidature

• Applying for more than one PGT subject or more than one TGT subject.
• Ignoring the required number of semesters for TGT subject combinations.
• Using a state-only OBC certificate instead of the Central OBC-NCL format.
• Claiming EWS without a valid income-and-asset certificate.
• Uploading unclear photographs, signatures or certificates.
• Paying the fee but failing to generate the confirmation page.
• Submitting multiple applications for the same post.
• Waiting until the final day and facing connectivity or payment failure.
• Failing to bring the police verification certificate or acknowledged application at the final stage.
• Assuming that an admit card guarantees eligibility or appointment.
• Expecting a station change after selection.
• Taking a mobile phone or prohibited item into the CBT venue.
