AEES Teacher Recruitment 2026: 254 Posts, Apply by 22 Nov

AEES Teacher Recruitment 2026 has 254 teaching posts open in Atomic Energy Central Schools, and the online form closes on 22 November 2026 at 11:50 pm. Applications opened on 2 November on the official portal, aees.onlineregistrationforms.com. The fee is Rs 1,000 for most candidates and Rs 250 for women and reserved category candidates. All 254 posts are tentative, which means AEES can raise or lower the number before the process ends.

Two numbers decide this recruitment. The first is 254, the total posts. The second is 50 percent, the minimum marks nearly every post demands in the qualifying degree and in B.Ed.

The two biggest posts add a CTET pass on top of that. If your marks or your CTET status fall short, paying the fee changes nothing, so check the eligibility section below before you pay.

AEES Teacher Recruitment 2026 at a glance

The posts, and where most of the seats sit

TGT accounts for 102 of the 254 posts, and PRT accounts for 89. Together those two posts hold 191 seats, about three quarters of the whole recruitment. PGT has 27 seats spread across nine subjects, with Commerce the largest at six.

The rest is small. Librarian has 13 seats, PRT (Music) 10 and Balvatika Teacher 8. Principal has 4 and Vice Principal has just 1.

Nine posts are marked for persons with benchmark disabilities. Check the category table in the notification before you pick a post, because the subject-wise split inside PGT and TGT is what decides whether your subject even has a seat.

Andhra Pradesh has a much bigger teacher drive announced: 2,721 posts under AP DSC, with applications from 11 November. The details sit in the AP DSC Recruitment 2026 post on this site. Uttar Pradesh has its own senior post open too, with 2,647 principal and headmaster seats under UPESSC, covered in the UPESSC Principal and Headmaster Recruitment 2026 post.

Who can apply: the B.Ed and CTET lines that decide it

Start with the rule that runs through the whole notification. Every teaching post asks for at least 50 percent marks in the qualifying degree and in B.Ed. A candidate with 49 percent in either one does not meet the essential qualification, and no amount of experience or a higher degree elsewhere changes that.

For PGT, the rule is a Master's degree in the subject with at least 50 percent marks, plus a B.Ed with at least 50 percent. The Master's has to be in the subject you teach, and you must have studied that subject at graduation too. One exclusion is worth knowing: an M.Com in Applied or Business Economics does not qualify for PGT Commerce.

For PGT Computer Science, the route is different. It takes an M.Sc in Computer Science or IT, an MCA, or an M.E. or M.Tech in Computer Science or IT, again with 50 percent, plus the B.Ed.

For TGT, the pattern is graduation in the subject combination with 50 percent, B.Ed with 50 percent, and a CTET Paper-II pass. That CTET rule covers TGT English, Hindi-Sanskrit, Marathi, Maths-Physics, Chemistry-Biology and Social Studies.

Three TGT subjects skip CTET entirely: Computer Science, Physical and Health Education, and Art Education. The Computer Science route takes a B.Sc in Computer Science or IT, BCA, B.E. or B.Tech in the same fields, or a DOEACC A Level with graduation in any subject, plus B.Ed.

Physical and Health Education takes a B.P.Ed or a degree in physical education. Art Education takes a fine arts degree with Drawing and Painting as the main subject, plus B.Ed.

PRT needs 10+2 with 50 percent marks and a two year Diploma in Elementary Education or a four year B.El.Ed, plus a CTET Paper-I pass. PRT (Music) swaps the diploma for a music degree: 10+2 with 50 percent, a Bachelor's degree in Music with 50 percent, and a B.Ed, plus practical skill in Hindustani vocal or instrumental music, which the skill test checks. No CTET is asked for PRT (Music).

Balvatika Teacher needs 10+2 with 50 percent and a two year diploma in nursery, pre-school or early childhood education, or a B.Ed in Nursery, or a B.El.Ed, with English as a subject at secondary or senior secondary level. The Librarian post needs a Bachelor's degree in Library Science or Library and Information Science with 50 percent marks, plus working knowledge of computers. Neither post asks for CTET.

Principal and Vice Principal sit apart from the teaching posts. Both need a Master's degree with 50 percent and a B.Ed with 50 percent, plus years in the job.

A Principal needs 12 years as a PGT, or 3 years as a Vice Principal, or current service as a Principal. A Vice Principal needs 6 years as a PGT or current service as a Vice Principal. Computer knowledge is essential for both.

Age limits, counted on 22 November

Age is counted as on 22 November 2026, the last date of the form. Principal runs 35 to 50 years and Vice Principal 35 to 45. PGT goes up to 40. TGT and Librarian go up to 35.

PRT, PRT (Music) and Balvatika Teacher go up to 30. The minimum age is 18. Relaxation applies for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, PwBD, ex-servicemen or AEES and DAE employees, under the rules in the notification.

If your birthday falls close to the cut off, work out your exact age on 22 November 2026 before you pay. The site's age calculator does that in seconds, and it beats guessing from a birth year.

The fee, and who pays only Rs 250

The fee has two parts: an application fee of Rs 750 and a processing fee of Rs 250. Add GST on top of that, as applicable. Everyone pays the processing fee.

Women pay no application fee, so their total is Rs 250. The same applies to SC, ST, PwBD or ex-servicemen candidates. Pay online only, by debit card, credit card or net banking.

One rule catches people who apply for two posts. You file a separate application for each post and pay the fee for each one. You can pick only one subject within PGT and only one within TGT, even if you qualify in more than one.

File two applications for the same post and both can be cancelled, with the fee forfeited. Different posts can also mean different exam centres in the same city, and AEES will not fix that for you.

How selection works: a CBT with no negative marking

Every post starts with a Computer Based Test of multiple choice questions. Teaching posts get 120 questions for 120 marks in 2 hours. Principal and Vice Principal get 150 questions for 150 marks in 2 hours 30 minutes. There is no negative marking anywhere in this recruitment.

Your subject carries the most weight: 75 of the 120 marks. Teaching methodology carries 15. The remaining 30 marks come from six small general sections at five marks each. The Principal and Vice Principal paper tests school governance and leadership, with teaching methodology and the subject carrying the rest of the marks.

To qualify in the CBT, you need 60 percent if you are UR or EWS, and 54 percent if you are SC, ST, OBC or PwBD. AEES can relax those marks to 55 and 49 percent if enough candidates are not available.

After the CBT, teaching posts face a skill test on a chalk and board, which is qualifying only: a Go or a No Go that does not change your merit position. Principal and Vice Principal face an interview instead, and the final merit counts the CBT and the interview equally, 50:50. A medical test follows the offer of appointment, and the wait list stays valid for one year.

How to apply

Open aees.onlineregistrationforms.com and register with a valid email address and mobile number. Pick the post and the subject, fill the form, upload the photograph and the documents, pay the fee online and submit before 22 November 2026 at 11:50 pm. Save the confirmation page and keep a printout.

One detail in the notification is easy to miss. The photograph has to be a recent colour photo in jpg or jpeg format, and the notification says applications with unclear, miniature or side facing photos, photos with goggles or caps, or no photo at all will be rejected. If your photo needs resizing before upload, the site's exam photo resizer handles it. The signature also goes up as a scanned copy, and the portal guidelines govern the exact size.

Apply early. The portal is busiest in the last two days, and a form submitted at 11:50 pm on 22 November leaves no room for a payment failure.
