NVS PGT case studies
NVS PGT · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The NVS PGT examination is the recruitment test used by Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti to select Post Graduate Teachers for its residential schools. It is aimed at candidates who already hold a postgraduate degree in the subject they intend to teach and who want a teaching post in a central-government school system, typically at the senior secondary level. Because the test is subject-heavy, half of the paper is devoted to the teaching subject itself, while the remaining half is split across general awareness, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English, Hindi and computer literacy with teaching aptitude. Preparation therefore has two tracks running in parallel. Topics on this exam: Subject Knowledge (concerned teaching subject), General Awareness and Current Affairs, Reasoning Ability, Quantitative Aptitude and Numerical Ability, General English and Comprehension, Hindi Language and Comprehension, and Computer Literacy and Teaching Aptitude. The NVS PGT case studies are 5 cases and about 3,161 words.
