The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS), operating under the Ministry of Education, have initiated a large-scale recruitment drive covering teaching as well as administrative roles. The online application window opens on November 14 and closes on December 4 2025, offering one of the biggest hiring opportunities of the year in central schools.Qualified candidates from across India are invited to apply for roles ranging from Primary Teachers to Principals, as well as support posts like Assistants and Clerks.
In this recruitment drive, the total number of vacancies stands at 14,967 across KVS and NVS.Below is a breakdown of major categories and their respective numbers.
Before reviewing key vacancy figures, here is a brief explanation of how these are distributed and what applicants should take into account when choosing posts.
The teaching posts cover various layers including Primary Teachers (PRTs), Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs), Post-Graduate Teachers (PGTs), Vice Principals and Principals. Non-teaching roles include Senior Secretariat Assistants, Junior Secretariat Assistants, Assistant Section Officers, and other support staff.
Key Dates, Eligibility and Selection Process for Applicants
Candidates must apply online between November 14 and December 4 2025. Eligible applicants are expected to meet educational qualifications varying by post—for example, PGTs require a master’s degree in the subject and a B.Ed or equivalent, while PRTs may require Senior Secondary qualification plus a teaching diploma. Selection will follow a multi‐stage process: written examination, skill test or interview (based on the role), document verification and medical examination.
Implications for the Education Sector and Job Seekers
This recruitment drive is particularly significant in light of the ongoing staffing deficits reported in central schools. Prior data indicate thousands of unfilled posts in KVS and NVS institutions. For aspirants, the recruitment opens up substantial career opportunities in central schools with stable employment, well defined career paths, and roles that contribute directly to national education outcomes. Schools themselves can expect to fill longstanding vacancies, improving teacher-student ratios and administrative efficiency.
Applicants should ensure they read the official notification carefully, verify eligibility criteria, pay application fees, and submit accurate forms before the deadline. Late or incorrect applications risk rejection and losing a competitive opportunity.
