What is the Varg system in MPTET?

MPTET uses a "Varg" (category) system: Varg 3 (Primary Teacher, Classes 1–5), Varg 2 (Middle School Teacher, Classes 6–8), and Varg 1 (High School Teacher, Classes 9–12). Each Varg has a separate exam with distinct eligibility criteria and syllabus. This is analogous to Level 1, 2, and 3 in other state TETs.

MPTET requires 60% marks (90/150) for General category candidates, 55% (82.5/150) for OBC candidates, and 50% (75/150) for SC/ST/PWD candidates to qualify. The MP TET certificate has a validity of 7 years from the date of issue, after which candidates must reappear if they have not secured a teaching position.
