NCERT Recruitment 2026

What NCERT Recruits For

• Professors, associate professors and assistant professors
• Non-academic Group A, B and C posts
• Project staff for academic programmes

How NCERT Recruitment Works

Teaching posts are filled through written exams, interviews, or both. School teaching posts usually need a teacher eligibility test such as CTET or a state TET, and higher posts follow the qualification rules set by the regulator for that level.

Preparing for NCERT Recruitment

Teaching recruitment combines subject knowledge with child development and pedagogy. Revise your subject at the level you will teach and above, and practise pedagogy questions that apply ideas to classroom situations. Keep your eligibility test certificate ready.

Eligibility for NCERT Jobs

Each NCERT notification sets the qualification and age limits for its posts. Central government recruitment explains the standard age relaxations and the mistakes that get applications rejected.

Pay and Benefits at NCERT

Teachers in central schools are paid on the central pay matrix: Level 6 for PRT, Level 7 for TGT and Level 8 for PGT. College and university teachers follow UGC pay rules. State schools follow state scales.
