Category-Wise Vacancy Breakdown for CG Vyapam Teacher 2026

The notification announces 1654 total vacancies divided into two main cadres: E-Cadre (868 posts) and T-Cadre (786 posts). The category-wise breakdown is released through the official CG Vyapam portal during application.

Competition insight: With 1654 vacancies and Chhattisgarh being a highly competitive state for teaching jobs, estimated applicants could exceed 3 lakh based on previous CG Vyapam teacher recruitments. This places the overall selection ratio at roughly 1 in 181. E-Cadre has 82 more posts than T-Cadre, giving E-Cadre applicants a slightly better chance. However, competition for popular subjects like Hindi and English is expected to be more intense than for Agriculture or Social Science.

As per standard Chhattisgarh government norms, reservation for SC/ST/OBC/EWS and PwD categories will apply as per state rules. Candidates should check the official portal for exact category-wise seat distribution.

Salary and In-Hand Calculation for CG Vyapam Teacher 2026

In-hand breakdown (Pay Level 8): Starting basic pay of ₹47,600 – NPS contribution (~10% of basic = ₹4,760) – CGHS/insurance (~₹800) + DA (currently around 50% of basic = ₹23,800) + HRA (class-wise, ~24-27% = ₹11,400-12,850) + TA (as per rules ≈ ₹4,500). This brings the net in-hand to approximately ₹35,000 – ₹50,000 per month depending on the posting city and the current DA rate.

Comparison with similar posts: Compared to a State Government School Teacher (Level 7) which offers approximately ₹32,000-42,000 in-hand, the Level-8 pay scale of CG Vyapam Teachers offers a higher take-home salary due to the better basic pay and allowances.

City-wise variation: Candidates posted in Raipur (X-class city) receive approximately ₹12,850 HRA per month, while those in Y-class cities get around ₹11,400 – a difference of ₹1,450 monthly (₹17,400 annually).
