If a candidate has not studied history and geography in their bachelor's degree but has pursued a post-graduate (PG) degree in either of these subjects, their eligibility for the post of TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher) in Social Science for the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and National Institute of Teachers Education (NVS) is a matter of concern. This article aims to clarify the specific requirements and provide a detailed overview.

Undergraduate Qualifications for TGT Social Science

To be eligible for the post of TGT Social Science in KVS/NVS, the candidate must have pursued undergraduate studies in any two subjects from the following:

Option 1: History (at least 50 marks in aggregate) and one subject out of Geography, Economics, or Political Science (at least 50 marks in aggregate) along with at least 50 marks in graduation.
