Age is calculated as on 1 April 2026. Importantly, the maximum age for continued service in a KGBV is 60 years.
Selection Process
For teaching and academic posts (Principal, PGT, Computer Science, Lab Assistant, Office Superintendent, Caretaker), selection is based on a merit list calculated using the following weightage:
| Examination / Qualification | Weightage Formula |
| High School | % marks × 10/100 |
| Intermediate | % marks × 10/100 |
| Graduation | % marks × 20/100 |
| Post-Graduation | % marks × 20/100 |
| Training (B.Ed./equivalent) | % marks (theory + practical) × 30/100 |
If two or more candidates score equal merit marks, preference is given first to the older candidate; if age is also equal, candidates are ranked alphabetically by name.
For support staff posts — Cook, Peon, Watchman, and Caretaker — selection is conducted through a personal interview rather than a merit list.
Additionally, candidates with a record of dismissal from prior service, or those convicted of a moral turpitude offence or declared insolvent, are not eligible for selection.
Contract and Service Conditions
- The initial service contract for all academic and non-academic staff will be for 11 months and 29 days per academic session, renewable annually based on satisfactory performance and approval from the District Magistrate.
- If a staff member’s performance is found unsatisfactory, the contract can be terminated with one month’s notice.
- Employees earning a monthly honorarium below ₹15,000 will be covered under EPF, with a 12% employee contribution and 13% employer contribution.
- Full-time staff — Caretaker, Watchman, Peon, and Cook — are required to reside on the school campus after selection; family members are not permitted to stay on campus, and staff must arrange their own meals.
- The number of vacancies may increase or decrease based on requirement.
