per job-portal reports: AEES has listed separate subject-wise syllabus PDFs for its teaching posts under Recruitment Notification 01/2026, with the syllabus notice dated 26 October 2026. Not confirmed: the exam pattern, marks, negative marking, and the application window, which sources report differently. I could not open the AEES PDFs myself, so the topic summaries below are from third-party coverage, and your own post’s PDF on aees.gov.in is the final word.
A correction on application dates
In my earlier AEES article, I gave 29 October to 18 November 2026 as the application window, from a single report. After looking again, I found that most sources show online applications from 2 to 22 November 2026, with the detailed notification expected on 2 November, while one site reports 29 October to 18 November. Treat 2 to 22 November as the likelier window, but do not plan around either until the detailed notification appears on the official recruitment page.
What has actually been released
AEES has put post-wise and subject-wise syllabus documents on its recruitment page, covering PGT, TGT, PRT, PRT (Music), Balvatika Teacher and Librarian, with a separate PDF for each post and subject. The reported notice date is 26 October 2026, though one site lists 27 October. The recruitment covers 254 tentative posts, and the official page lists some additional subject documents, including some for administrative teaching posts.
There is no single AEES syllabus. A PGT Physics candidate, a TGT Social Studies candidate and a Balvatika candidate read three different documents. The first step is finding the right one.
The exam pattern is not in the syllabus
The syllabus PDFs reportedly do not state the number of questions, marks, duration, negative marking or qualifying marks, and those details are expected in the detailed notification. This matters because pages for older AEES cycles are still ranking high, and they disagree with each other. A 2024-cycle page describes a computer-based paper of 100 one-mark questions in 2 hours 30 minutes with no negative marking. Another page from the same period describes 50 questions in 90 minutes. A 2025 page lists offline papers with different durations by post. One page claims a 60/25/15 split between subject, teaching methodology and general studies, and I could not find that in any official-looking source.
Those are earlier cycles and mixed-quality pages. They may hint at the structure, but they are not the 2026 pattern. If you want a rough idea, the older 100-question paper had four areas: general knowledge, reasoning and numerical ability, teaching methodology, and the subject concerned. That is a guess about continuity, not a statement about this exam.
Which posts matter most, by numbers
The reported vacancy counts show where most candidates will sit. The reported split is Principal 4, Vice Principal 1, PGT 27, TGT 102, PRT 89, PRT (Music) 10 and Balvatika Teacher 8, with Librarian posts implied at 13 by subtraction. TGT and PRT together are 191 of 254 posts, about three-quarters. If you are a TGT or PRT candidate, you are in the most contested pool, and the depth of your preparation within your own PDF matters more than breadth across posts.
What the PDFs reportedly cover
The summaries below are my compressed reading of the Karmasandhan-style coverage that circulates, not the official text. Use them to orient yourself, then read your PDF.
PGT. Reported subject PDFs include English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Economics and History. English covers comprehension, writing formats, grammar and a literature section spanning British, American, Indian English and world writing. The science and maths papers follow senior-secondary-plus content: mechanics through modern physics, the three branches of chemistry, plant and human biology with genetics and ecology, and calculus with vectors and probability for maths. Computer Science centres on Python, databases, networks and security. Economics splits into statistics, microeconomics, macroeconomics and the Indian economy. History pairs world and Indian history, with an emphasis on sources.
One gap to check. Earlier reports on the vacancy list put PGT Commerce at 6 posts, the biggest PGT block. The summary I read does not mention a Commerce syllabus, so look for that PDF on the official page and do not assume it is the same as Economics.
TGT. Syllabus content differs by combination. The reported TGT PDFs include English, Mathematics-Physics (combined), Chemistry-Biology (combined), Social Studies, Hindi-Sanskrit (combined), Computer Science, Art Education and Physical and Health Education. Combined papers deserve a warning. In Mathematics-Physics, you are preparing two subjects for one exam, and TGT Maths-Physics has the largest TGT block, reportedly 22 posts. Social Studies bundles history, geography, political science and economics.
PRT. The reported PRT content covers English comprehension, writing and grammar, Hindi, mathematics and a section called Understanding the World Around Us. The maths topics reported are primary-level: numbers and operations, fractions, measurement, geometry and data handling.
PRT (Music). The reported topics lean on theory and practice: acoustics, shruti and swara, thaats, ragas, taals and notation, with a named list of ragas. Practical familiarity matters as much as definitions.
Balvatika Teacher. The coverage describes about 17 broad areas, including child development, early childhood care and education, NCF-FS 2022, NEP 2020, language and numeracy, inclusive education, assessment, classroom management, reasoning, general awareness and ICT. This syllabus is policy-heavy. Candidates who prepared only from pedagogy textbooks may find the NEP 2020 and NCF-FS 2022 documents the least familiar ground.
Librarian. The reported topics cover the foundations of library and information science, knowledge organisation including classification and cataloguing, and library IT. Classification schemes, cataloguing and the Five Laws are the dense parts.
Where candidates get this wrong
The first mistake is reading the wrong PDF. TGT combined papers, and the several PGT subjects, have separate documents, and the Balvatika and PRT PDFs are different again. The second is skipping the inclusions and exclusions inside each PDF. One report notes that the Biology PDF has an explicit exclusion in the Plant Kingdom portion. A topic you studied thoroughly may be out of scope, and one you skipped may be in.
The third is trusting a shared folder. The report that links a Google Drive folder of syllabus PDFs says openly that it is not an AEES site. Download from the AEES recruitment page and check any other copy against it.
Preparation by arithmetic
I will give one calculation, clearly mine. If the 2024-style paper of 100 questions in 150 minutes were to repeat, that works out to 90 seconds per question, which is comfortable for recall questions and tight for multi-step numericals. If the 2026 paper differs, the time pressure changes. This is why waiting for the actual pattern matters before you commit to a mock-test routine.
In the meantime, work from the PDF. Break your document into units, tag each one as not started, in progress or revised, and use school-level textbooks for the base before moving to anything the PDF says goes deeper. PGT candidates have heavier content to cover than PRT candidates, so a PGT plan needs more weeks.
Previous cut-off
I found no published cut-off for this 2026 round, and earlier-cycle numbers belong to different papers and patterns. Any “expected cut-off” you see is a guess.

FAQs
Is there one syllabus for all AEES teacher posts?
No. Each post and subject has its own PDF, and TGT papers differ by subject combination.
Is the exam pattern in the syllabus PDFs?
Not according to the reports I read. Questions, marks, duration and negative marking are expected in the detailed notification.
Can I use the 100-question, 150-minute pattern from older AEES pages?
Treat it as a guide from a previous cycle, not as the 2026 pattern. Other older pages describe 50 questions in 90 minutes.
Which PGT subject has the most posts, and is its syllabus out?
Reports put PGT Commerce at 6 posts, the largest PGT block. The syllabus summary I read does not mention Commerce, so check the official page for that PDF.
When do applications open?
Most reports say 2 November, closing 22 November 2026, but one gives 29 October to 18 November. Wait for the detailed notification.
