All these examinations are to appoint the teachers for government-approved schools and colleges. Also, teaching is a popular choice among different kinds of professions. Many people wish to become a teacher and study for that.
To become a teacher, you should have certain kinds of qualifications. According to the qualification, the levels in the teaching sector will vary.

Here, as the candidates are going to teach the students of higher level, they are allowed to specialize in the subject they prefer.
