TGT Full Form

TGT stands for Trained Graduate Teachers. From motivating to granting information to students, teachers resemble cultivators who change little buds into blossoming blossoms through their consideration and sustenance. They put in their beginning and end to enable their students to develop, create and become wildly successful throughout everyday life. Educating is in this way a calling that has any kind of effect on the general public by forming the character and viewpoints of people in the future. Regardless of whether you become a pre-teacher or a college professor, you have to have a connection with character, persistence, intensive abstract information and incredible relational abilities.

Difference Between TGT and PGT 

TGT and PGT are titles and not courses. Some courses are called TGT courses, for example, B.Ed is a TGT course.

TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher):

This implies, you are a graduate, who is prepared in teaching. On the off chance that you clear your B.Ed, at that point you previously become a TGT. So no compelling reason to do TGT on the off chance that you have a B.Ed degree. (In this way, TGT isn't a course, yet a title given to educators who have finished their graduation and are preparing in instructing. Along these lines B.Ed is a TGT course) . TGT instructs up to class X. 

PGT (Post Graduate Teacher):

This implies, if you are a post-graduate (eg., M.A.), and have done your B.Ed or M.Ed then you become a post-graduate instructor. PGT can teach up to class XII.
