When NVS Announces Recruitment
NVS recruits regular staff once in several years, and its most recent round was run jointly with KVS. Individual JNVs hire contract teachers for a session from time to time.
What NVS Applicants Often Miss
- Navodaya schools are residential, and teachers usually stay on campus and share hostel and house master duties.
- Teachers may be posted to a state whose language they do not speak. Knowledge of the regional language helps, and some posts require it.
- TGT posts need CTET Paper II, and the subject combination in graduation must match the post.
Preparing for NVS 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.
