BTC Post Graduate Teacher Recruitment 2026 offers 72 regular teaching vacancies in provincialised senior secondary and higher secondary schools under the Director of Education, Bodoland Territorial Council, Kokrajhar. The advertisement was issued on 4 November 2026, and online applications are being accepted from 5 November to 19 November 2026. The recruitment covers 18 subjects, with the largest numbers in English, History, Education and Physics, while several language, science, commerce and humanities subjects are also represented. Selected candidates will enter the notified pay band of ₹22,000–97,000 with Grade Pay of ₹11,800 per month, along with admissible allowances under the applicable rules. Applicants must be permanent residents of the BTC area and need the required postgraduate qualification in the concerned subject together with B.Ed. eligibility as prescribed in the notice. Selection is based mainly on the 140-mark TET-cum-Recruitment Test, with specified additional weightage available for certain NCC, sports, cultural, earlier TET and qualifying BTC contractual-service categories. Because the recruitment is subject-specific, candidates should confirm the exact subject, district preference, medium requirement and supporting documents before submitting the form. The application window is relatively short, so keeping certificates, scanned records and fee payment details ready can reduce last-minute mistakes.
