What is difference between a PGT and TGT teacher?

In the Indian education system, PGT and TGT stand for Post Graduate Teacher and Trained Graduate Teacher, respectively. The key difference lies in the level of education they teach and the qualifications required:

* TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher): Teaches students in classes 6th to 10th (secondary school level). They typically need a Bachelor's degree with a B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education) or equivalent teaching qualification. They teach subjects like Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Hindi, English, etc. The specific subject taught depends on their specialization during their graduation and teacher training.

* PGT (Post Graduate Teacher): Teaches students in classes 11th and 12th (senior secondary school level). They require a Master's degree in their subject along with a B.Ed. or equivalent teaching qualification. They teach subjects at a higher academic level, often preparing students for competitive examinations.

In short: TGTs teach younger students at a secondary level, while PGTs teach older students at a senior secondary level, requiring a higher level of education and specialization.
