Raipur: Chhattisgarh has announced the examination schedule for Assistant Teacher and Teacher recruitment, with the Assistant Teacher Recruitment Examination scheduled for December 6 and the Teacher Recruitment Examination for December 20, 2026. In an important development for candidates with disabilities, the recruitment authority has reopened the online application process for eligible applicants following an order issued by the Chhattisgarh High Court on October 9. The decision provides another opportunity to candidates affected by the eligibility-related dispute while maintaining the announced examination schedule across 16 district headquarters in the state.
The revised arrangements follow a legal dispute concerning the eligibility of certain categories of candidates with disabilities for teacher recruitment.
According to information provided by the recruitment authority, amendments have been made to the recruitment advertisement on the proposal of the Directorate of Public Instruction, enabling eligible candidates to participate in the application process.
High Court Order Leads to Amendment in Recruitment Advertisement
The recruitment process underwent revision after questions arose concerning the eligibility of certain categories of persons with disabilities.
The dispute subsequently reached the Chhattisgarh High Court, which issued an order on October 9, 2026.
Following the Court’s directions, the Directorate of Public Instruction submitted a proposal for necessary changes to the recruitment advertisement.
The recruitment authority subsequently amended the advertisement to provide eligible candidates with disabilities another opportunity to apply.
The decision is significant because recruitment eligibility conditions determine whether candidates can participate in the selection process.
By reopening applications for the affected categories, the authorities have sought to implement the Court’s order without postponing the announced examinations.
Fresh Online Applications from October 15 to October 30
Eligible candidates with disabilities will be able to submit online applications beginning Thursday, October 15, 2026.
The application window will remain open until 5 pm on Friday, October 30, 2026.
Candidates have been advised to complete the online process within the prescribed period and carefully examine the revised eligibility provisions before submitting their applications.
The fresh opportunity is intended for eligible candidates covered by the amended recruitment advertisement.
Applicants should ensure that their personal details, educational qualifications, disability-related information and other required particulars are entered correctly.
Application Correction Window from October 31 to November 2
The recruitment authority has also announced a separate period for correcting errors in applications.
Candidates will be able to use the correction facility from October 31 to November 2, 2026.
The facility is intended to help applicants rectify mistakes within the prescribed timeframe.
Candidates who have already submitted applications will also have an opportunity to use the correction window, subject to the applicable instructions.
Applicants should verify their submitted information carefully because errors in eligibility-related particulars or supporting details may create difficulties during subsequent stages of recruitment.
Recruitment Examinations to Be Held at 16 District Headquarters
The Assistant Teacher Recruitment Examination will be held on Sunday, December 6, 2026, followed by the Teacher Recruitment Examination on Sunday, December 20, 2026.
Both examinations are scheduled to take place at 16 district headquarters across Chhattisgarh.
The examination timetable provides candidates with a defined preparation period while allowing the recruitment authority to complete the revised application process.
Details concerning examination centres, admit cards, reporting times and other examination-day instructions should be followed according to the official notices issued by the recruitment authority.

Revised Eligibility Provisions Important for Candidates with Disabilities
The High Court-related amendment is particularly relevant for candidates with disabilities whose eligibility was affected by the earlier recruitment conditions.
The revised advertisement is intended to provide an application opportunity to candidates who qualify under the amended provisions.
However, the available information does not specify the individual disability categories covered by the amendment.
Candidates should therefore consult the revised official recruitment notification to determine whether they satisfy the applicable eligibility requirements.
The reopening of the application process should not be interpreted as a general extension for every category of applicant unless the official notification specifically provides for it.
Candidates Advised to Complete Formalities Within Prescribed Deadline
With the examination dates announced and the application window reopening, candidates should complete the required formalities without waiting until the final day.
The October 30 deadline is particularly important because applications will be accepted only until 5 pm on that date.
Applicants should also make use of the correction period wherever necessary and retain copies of their submitted applications and acknowledgements.
The recruitment authority’s decision to amend the advertisement following the High Court’s order marks an important development in the ongoing teacher recruitment process.
For eligible candidates with disabilities, the revised schedule provides an opportunity to participate in the examinations, while other applicants can continue preparing according to the announced December timetable.
The recruitment process will now move towards the two scheduled examinations, with the authorities expected to issue further procedural instructions through their official channels.
