Fresh applications for Chhattisgarh’s 2,292 Assistant Teacher (PRT) posts are closed. They shut on 21 August 2026. What is open now — from 22 to 24 August — is the correction window on cgssb.in. Candidates who already submitted between 24 July and 21 August can fix permitted errors. Anyone who missed the 21 August close cannot newly apply through the correction facility.

The vacancies split into 795 E-cadre and 1,497 T-cadre posts under the Directorate of Public Instruction, Chhattisgarh. Saturday’s update is therefore a last chance to correct, not a last chance to apply. Framing it otherwise would mislead candidates still hunting for a registration link.

Three days to fix what the form got wrong

Log in to the CGSSB profile. Open the Assistant Teacher application. Read every field against certificates. Submit allowed edits before the window ends on 24 August.

Corrections typically cover data the candidate entered wrongly — name spelling as per certificates, category details, qualification entries, contact information — subject to what the portal unlocks. Profile-level fields may need fixing in the registration section before they reflect in the exam application, depending on how CGSSB has configured the form. The board’s instructions warn that results are prepared on the basis of information filled by the candidate, and that post-window correction requests are not entertained later.

Even candidates who believe they made no errors should open the form once, confirm fee status and photograph or signature uploads, and save a final application printout. Finding a mismatch only when the admit card arrives is a harder problem than fixing it this weekend.

Eligibility outline, admit card, tentative exam

Eligibility stated for the Assistant Teacher (PRT) recruitment includes Class 12 with at least 50 per cent marks and a D.El.Ed, B.El.Ed or D.Ed qualification, as applicable under the notification. The age band is 21 to 35 years, with relaxations as per government norms. Exact category-wise relaxations and fee amounts belong in the official advertisement on cgssb.in.

Admit cards are scheduled for release on 5 October 2026. The written examination is tentatively fixed for 11 October 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:45 PM. Because the exam date is described as tentative in the recruitment timeline, candidates should watch the board portal for any later change until the admit card confirms centre and timing.

Selection proceeds through the written examination process notified by CGSSB for this drive. This report does not invent cut-offs, paper patterns or centre lists beyond the dated schedule and eligibility outline above.

Between 22 and 24 August, accuracy is the job

Keep Class 12 and teacher-training certificates beside the screen while editing. Check name, date of birth, category, disability status if claimed, educational qualifications, district preferences where asked, and contact details. If the portal requires basic profile data to be corrected first, finish that step before touching the exam form. Generate a fresh application summary and store it offline.

Do not wait until 24 August evening if an error is already known. Correction portals slow near closing time. After 24 August, the next published milestones are the 5 October admit card and the tentatively scheduled 11 October written exam. Rely on cgssb.in for downloads rather than forwarded PDFs.

The recruitment sits at the post-application stage: forms closed, corrections open, written test still weeks away. The last chance now is to correct an already submitted form for one of the 2,292 E-cadre and T-cadre Assistant Teacher (PRT) vacancies before the 24 August correction close.
