Yes, you can become a teacher in Kendriya Vidyalaya for PGT post, if you have a B TECH degree in Computer Science and more than 60% aggregate in it. Branches other than computer Science are not eligible for applying the post. For that, you have to look after the posts posted by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sanghatan. After clearing the exam conducted, you will be eligible to teach students of class 11th and class 12th subjects related to Computer Science. Note: One disadvantage for B.Tech student is that even if they are selected they will not be promoted further as they wouldn't have a B.Ed degree. -

To become a teacher in KV, there are strict criteria laid out. Computer science graduate surely will not be eligible for the vacancy of a maths teacher.
