Class 1-5 vs Class 6-8 Posts: Which JTAACCE 2026 Post Suits You?
Your degree and TET paper decide the post group, but the two levels differ in pay and competition. Use this comparison to understand the trade-offs.
| Factor | Class 1-5 (Intermediate) | Class 6-8 (Graduate) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular vacancies | 1,909 | 4,192 |
| Pay level | Level-4 | Level-5 |
| Pay scale | ₹25,500 – ₹81,100 | ₹29,200 – ₹92,300 |
| Approx. gross salary | ₹33,000 – ₹40,000+ | ₹38,000 – ₹46,000+ |
| Minimum education | +2 with elementary teacher training | Graduation with B.Ed. or equivalent |
| TET paper | JTET Paper I | JTET Paper II (subject-wise) |
| Subject groups | Single group | Language, Social Science, Math/Science |
| Experience certificate from | BEEO | FEO / Area Education Officer |
| Best for | +2 qualified Para Teachers | Graduate Para Teachers seeking higher pay |
If you hold both a graduation and a B.Ed. along with JTET Paper II, apply for Class 6-8, because it has more than double the vacancies and a higher pay level. Class 1-5 remains the only route for candidates without a graduate teaching degree. You cannot switch post groups after the correction window closes.
