The Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS), an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, has invited online applications for various vacant positions across its residential schools in the Rajasthan region for the 2020-21 academic session. The notification was released through the official regional portal at nvsrojpr.gov.in, inviting eligible candidates to apply before the prescribed deadline.
Recruitment was sought for post-graduate teachers, Trained Graduate Teachers, and librarian positions across NVS schools operating under the Rajasthan region. The Samiti typically oversees a network of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas — elite residential schools designed to provide quality education to talented children from rural areas. Each school is staffed by teaching personnel and support administrative employees drawn through transparent, merit-based recruitment processes conducted periodically by the NVS headquarters and its regional offices.
The notification outlined eligibility criteria that varied by post. For PGT positions, candidates were required to hold a post-graduate degree in the relevant subject along with a Bachelor of Education or equivalent teaching qualification, and they typically had to clear the NVS recruitment examination or meet equivalent national-level qualification standards. Trained Graduate Teacher posts demanded at minimum a graduation degree in the concerned subject paired with a two-year Diploma in Elementary Education or B.El.Ed., while librarian vacancies called for a Master's degree in Library and Information Science or an equivalent professional qualification such as theMLIS programme.
Candidates were instructed to submit their applications exclusively through the NVS Rajasthan regional website. Prospective applicants needed to create an account, fill in personal, academic, and experience details, upload scanned copies of photographs, signatures, certificates, and proof of category, and pay the requisite application fee through the online payment gateway. A printed confirmation page was advised to be retained for future reference during the selection process.
The selection procedure generally comprises a written test conducted by the NVS examining body followed by document verification and sometimes a interview or personality assessment, depending on the post. Reservation benefits applicable to central government employment were extended to candidates belonging to reserved categories as per prevailing government norms.
