- Teacher (Sanskrit) — covers grammar (Laghusiddhanta Kaumudi), Sanskrit literature (Raghuvansham, Meghdoot, Abhijnanashakuntalam, Bhagavad Gita), linguistics, philosophy, Vedic literature, Dharmashastra, and one-year B.Ed. subjects.
What’s Not Yet Specified
The syllabus PDFs cover only subject-wise and topic-wise content. Total marks, number of questions, exam duration, category-wise qualifying marks, and negative marking are not specified — these details will come with the detailed recruitment notification, expected separately from HPRCA.
Preparation Tips
- Start with the syllabus PDF for your specific post and identify weak areas first.
- Prepare the common General Awareness section early, since it applies across all three posts.
- For PET/Teacher (Physical Education), separate theory-heavy sections from applied/rules sections in your revision schedule.
- For Teacher (Sanskrit), practice sutra-based grammar daily and revise prescribed literature texts chapter by chapter.
- Solve previous HP state-level CBT papers for a sense of difficulty and timing, since the current notice lacks exam pattern details.

Frequently Asked Questions
When was this syllabus released?
10 August 2026.
Is PET the same as Teacher (Physical Education)?
No — they’re separate posts with separate, differently detailed syllabus documents.
Is General Awareness common to all three posts?
Yes, identical across PET, Teacher (Physical Education), and Teacher (Sanskrit).
Has the exam pattern been released?
Not yet — only the subject syllabus is out; marks, duration, and qualifying criteria await a separate notification.
Since exam pattern details haven’t been released yet, use this window to build subject depth first — you can adjust your timing strategy once HPRCA publishes the detailed recruitment notification.
