How do I get a teaching job in Army Public Schools (APS)?

Army Public Schools (APS) are a network of ~137 CBSE-affiliated schools managed by the Army Welfare Education Society (AWES) at Army stations across India.

Selection process:

1. APS-CSB Common Entrance Screening Test — held annually (usually in October–November) at 40+ centres. Two papers: General (Reasoning + GK + English + Numerical) + Subject.
2. Score card valid for 3 years and accepted at any APS pan-India.
3. Interview + Evaluation of Teaching Skills + Computer Proficiency Test at the school where a vacancy exists.
4. Medical + document verification.

Qualifications:

• PRT: Graduation + B.Ed + CTET (below 40 years).
• TGT: Graduation with subject + B.Ed + CTET (below 40 years).
• PGT: PG with 50% in subject + B.Ed (below 40 years).

Pay: APS schools follow their own scale — usually ₹40,000–₹75,000 in-hand for PGT plus free on-campus housing and canteen/CSD access. Not on 7th CPC but generally competitive with mid-tier private CBSE.
