This screening test is a gateway for appointment as a teacher in various Army Public Schools.

However, qualifying the OST is mandatory for applying to teaching positions across APS institutions in the country.
All candidates applying for PRT, TGT, or PGT posts must ensure they meet the required educational qualifications and eligibility criteria as prescribed by AWES. Once a candidate clears the OST, they receive a scorecard which is valid for lifetime subject to continuous service or as per the updated norms, and they become eligible to apply for vacancies advertised by individual Army Public Schools.
The exam will be conducted in online mode and the paper will consist of objective-type questions. Further details about the syllabus, marking scheme, and exam structure will be released in the official information bulletin on the AWES website.
