That’s why, even if BTech is a higher degree, it is not considered a teaching qualification. States want teachers who are trained specifically for teaching, which is why they insist on B.Ed or D.El.Ed.

  • A valid GATE CE score for civil-related posts.
  • A good All India Rank , since cut-offs for big PSUs like IOCL, BPCL, NTPC, and PGCIL are usually high.

So, if the PSU accepts GATE CE for the post you’re interested in, scoring well in GATE CE …
