To be eligible for the Master Cadre Mathematics & Science positions, candidates must meet specific criteria. The age limit typically falls within a designated range, with relaxations often provided for reserved categories as per government regulations. A crucial requirement is a graduation in a relevant subject, typically a B.Sc. with Mathematics or a B.A. with Mathematics as a core subject. This ensures candidates possess the foundational knowledge for the role. Furthermore, a B.Ed. from a recognized university is mandatory, adhering to UGC Guidelines. Crucially, Punjabi must have been taught as a subject at the B.Ed. level, reflecting the importance of the regional language in the education system. Finally, passing the PSTET Paper II is a non-negotiable prerequisite, confirming the candidate’s pedagogical aptitude and subject knowledge for secondary-level teaching, a cornerstone of the Master Cadre Exam Eligibility.
