Telangana Gurukulam Syllabus 2026, Check TGT, PGT, PET Exam Pattern

Telangana Gurukulam Syllabus: Telangana Gurukulam schools (residential educational institutions under societies such as TSWREIS, TTWREIS, MJPTBCWREIS, and others) recruit teachers through the Telangana Residential Educational Institutions Recruitment Board (TREIRB). The key teaching posts include Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT), Post Graduate Teacher (PGT), and Physical Education Teacher (PET).

As of mid-2026, official notifications for the latest recruitment cycle continue to follow the established multi-paper objective pattern used in recent years. Candidates should always verify the exact scheme, syllabus, and any updates on the official TREIRB website (treirb.telangana.gov.in) once a fresh notification is released, as minor changes in weightage, negative marking, or subject lists can occur.

Overview of Telangana Gurukulam Selection Process

Selection for TGT and PGT posts typically involves:

• Written examination (objective type / MCQs) consisting of three papers.
• Document verification / certificate verification.
• In some cycles, a demonstration or interview component may apply (more common for higher posts).

PET recruitment is sometimes handled under broader teacher recruitment drives (e.g., DSC/TRT or KGBV-related) with a single comprehensive paper focused on physical education content.

TS Gurukulam / TREIRB TGT & PGT Exam Pattern

Both TGT and PGT follow a nearly identical three-paper structure:

• Question type: Objective (Multiple Choice Questions).
• Marking: Usually 1 mark per correct answer. Negative marking (often 1/4th) has applied in some previous cycles — confirm in the official notification.
• Medium: Generally bilingual (English and Telugu) where applicable; subject papers follow the medium of instruction or as specified.

The expected structure for Gurukulam teaching posts is given below. Candidates should verify the final scheme against the 2026 recruitment notification, as the exact number of papers, marks and duration can change.

This pattern has remained consistent in recent TREIRB recruitments for residential schools.
