After last year's withdrawal of 293 vacancies, the Dept of Education is back with 396 vacancies along with changes in the eligibility terms.

Chandigarh Dept. of Education has begun the recruitment process for primary teachers in the union territory. And lakhs of candidates are expected to apply for this job.

Due to certain changes in eligibility, there is a lot of confusion around educational qualifications required for this job.

Actually, this time the department has not asked for 50% marks in graduation and B.Ed. Along with throwing other bouncers...

So does someone with B.Ed qualify for this job? No if you do not have the two-year diploma then you are not eligible. However…

If you have the two-year primary teacher diploma which is known in many states as PRT / EET/ JBT/ D.Ed then you can apply.

Can people from other states apply? Yes, if you fulfill other conditions. Remember, Chandigarh is a union territory so anyone from India can apply for this vacancy.

Can someone who obtained a D.Ed through distance education apply? Yes, a diploma is a diploma – if it’s the 2-year diploma - apply.
