The recruitment drive targets both teaching and non-teaching staff.

TGTs typically teach classes VI-X, PGTs teach XI-XII, and PRTs instruct students from classes I-V. These roles are fundamental to the educational framework of KVs and JNVs.

Specific details regarding the number of vacancies for each post, educational qualifications, and experience requirements will be outlined in the comprehensive notification available on the official websites.
Selection Process
The selection process for these KVS and NVS posts involves multiple stages to assess candidates thoroughly. The first stage is a competitive written test. This test evaluates candidates’ knowledge and aptitude relevant to the applied post. Performance in the written test determines eligibility for subsequent stages.
Following the written test, qualified candidates will proceed to a skill test. The nature of the skill test will vary depending on the specific post. For teaching roles, this might involve a demonstration lesson or an interview assessing teaching abilities. Non-teaching roles might require tests related to computer proficiency or administrative tasks.
After the skill test, candidates will undergo document verification. This stage ensures all submitted academic and personal documents are authentic and meet the eligibility criteria. Discrepancies found during this stage can lead to disqualification. The final stage of the selection process is a medical examination, ensuring candidates are physically fit for the duties associated with their respective posts.
Eligibility and Age Relaxation
Eligibility criteria, including educational qualifications and experience, vary significantly based on the specific teaching or non-teaching post. Candidates are strongly advised to consult the detailed recruitment notification on the official websites for precise requirements for their desired position.
The age limit for applicants will also depend on the type of post. The government provides age relaxations for candidates belonging to reserved categories, such as Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), and Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD), as per government norms. Detailed information on age limits and relaxations will be available in the official notification.
