No, unfortunately, an M.Ed. after B.Sc. and B.Ed. does not qualify you for PGT positions in most cases. For PGT, you typically need a postgraduate degree in the specific subject you want to teach, in addition to a B.Ed.

For teaching in government schools (central or state), an M.Ed alone is not sufficient. Most government schools require candidates to have both a B.Ed and an M.Ed, depending on the specific subject and level of teaching.
