Cadre Breakdown & Reservation Dynamics
The indicative notice confirms 815 Principal and Teacher vacancies, but the detailed subject-wise and category-wise distribution is not sufficiently established by the currently accessible official material. Current secondary reports have published tentative post-wise figures, but those figures do not consistently reconcile with the announced total of 815, so they should not be copied into the final vacancy table.
Similarly, the current UR, SEBC/OBC, EWS, SC and ST distribution has not been independently verified from the detailed official advertisement.
Truth anchor: Vibhag dwara abhi tak release nahi kiya gaya hai / To be notified soon.
⚠️ Critical Mandatory Warning: Older OAVS recruitment vacancy matrices should not be used as the 2026 category-wise seat matrix. Candidates should wait for the detailed Advertisement No. 01/2026 before relying on reservation figures.
Technical Eligibility & Academic Scrutiny
The indicative advertisement confirms the recruitment of Principals and Teachers, but the complete post-wise eligibility conditions are not established in the currently accessible short notice. Current recruitment portals have published qualification and age figures, but some explicitly rely on previous OAVS recruitment patterns rather than a verified detailed 2026 notification.
For that reason, this article does not convert historical eligibility into a mandatory 2026 requirement.
The detailed notification should establish, post by post:
- Principal educational qualification
- PGT subject-wise qualification
- TGT subject-wise qualification
- PET qualification
- Art Teacher qualification
- Computer Teacher qualification
- Minimum percentage, wherever prescribed
- B.Ed./professional qualification requirements
- Relevant subject combinations
- Teaching or administrative experience
- Age cut-off date
- Category-wise relaxation
- Certificate requirements
- Any TET/teacher eligibility condition
- Recognition/equivalence rules
Some current secondary sources report previous-pattern qualifications such as postgraduate qualification plus B.Ed. for Principal/PGT positions and relevant graduation plus B.Ed. for TGT positions. Those details are useful only as preparation context, not as final 2026 eligibility until OAVS publishes the detailed criteria.
Gateway Management & Application Protocol
Online registration is scheduled to open on 12 October 2026 and close on 11 November 2026 at 5:00 PM. Current recruitment references state that applications will be submitted through the official OAVS website, with the application link expected to become active when registration opens.
