The Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC) has officially notified recruitment drives for two key academic positions within the state's education sector, aiming to fill over 200 vacancies across schools and higher education institutions. The first notification covers the recruitment of 111 principals for schools under the Uttarakhand education department, while the second targets 107 B.Ed assistant professor positions, together signaling a significant push to strengthen academic leadership at multiple levels.
For the principal recruitment, the UPSSSC has opened the online application process on its official portal at upessc.up.gov.in. Candidates interested in applying must register themselves on the commission's website and submit their applications through the dedicated recruitment module. While detailed eligibility criteria for the principal posts have been outlined in the official notification, the commission typically requires candidates to hold a master's degree along with a Bachelor of Education qualification, and a minimum of several years of teaching experience in a recognized institution. An age relaxation is generally extended to candidates belonging to reserved categories as per the Uttarakhand government's employment rules.
Simultaneously, the commission has also issued a separate recruitment notification for 107 B.Ed assistant professor positions. These posts are aimed at filling faculty roles in colleges offering B.Ed programs across the state. Aspirants for these posts are expected to meet the university norms and guidelines set by affiliating universities and the National Council for Teacher Education. The selection process for both recruitments is likely to involve a combination of written examination and interview or merit-based evaluation, depending on the final guidelines issued by the commission.
The recruitment drives have received considerable attention from qualified educators and postgraduate scholars across Uttarakhand who see these notifications as an opportunity to advance their careers in the public education system. With applications being accepted online, prospective candidates are encouraged to visit the official UPSSSC website, download the detailed notification, review the complete eligibility requirements, and submit their forms before the prescribed deadline. Officials expect the selection process to unfold over the coming months once the application window closes.
