The Karnataka Residential Educational Institutions Society (KREIS), a society under the administrative control of the Karnataka Social Welfare Department, has officially issued its recruitment notification for 2026, advertising 1,087 teaching vacancies across residential schools throughout the state. The notification has been released to recruit qualified educators for various subjects and levels within the KREIS residential school network.
Applications are being accepted through an online mode via the official KREIS website. The recruitment covers multiple subject-specific teaching positions, and candidates belonging to different categories as per Karnataka government norms are eligible to apply. A complete breakdown of post-wise vacancy details, including subject requirements and reservation allocation, has been specified in the notification document released by the society.
Eligibility criteria for the recruitment require candidates to hold recognized academic qualifications along with professional teaching credentials such as a Bachelor of Education degree or equivalent, depending on the specific post applied for. Age relaxations applicable to reserved categories will be provided as per the government's standard reservation policy. Candidates are advised to carefully review the full eligibility conditions published alongside the notification before submitting their applications.
The application process involves filling out an online form, uploading required documents such as photographs, signatures, academic certificates, and caste certificates where applicable, and paying the prescribed application fee. Fee waivers or concessions will be extended to eligible candidates from reserved categories as per existing government guidelines.
The selection process for these teaching positions is expected to follow the usual merit-based evaluation framework, which may include a written examination and/or interview, depending on the final recruitment rules framed by the society. The definitive examination schedule, if any, will be communicated separately by the KREIS authorities through official channels after the application window closes.
This large-scale recruitment drive is significant as it aims to strengthen the teaching workforce in Karnataka's residential educational institutions, which serve students from economically weaker sections and marginalized communities across rural and semi-urban areas of the state. The society continues to play a vital role in providing free education and hostelling facilities to thousands of students enrolled in its network of residential schools. Candidates who meet the eligibility requirements are encouraged to complete their applications within the stipulated time frame and avoid last-minute delays.
