Your Next Steps After the Admit Card

Sometimes an exam city slip comes first and the admit card follows a few days later. Download both early, because the website slows down on the last day, and keep two printouts ready.

Eligibility: Written Examination, Interview, Document Verification and Medical Examination. Dates for the later rounds are usually announced separately on the official site.

How the Vacancies Are Split

Vice Principal is the largest Sarkari Naukri with 704 of the 828 posts (85% of the total). The smallest lot is Principal with 124 post(s), so competition per seat differs sharply between posts. There are 2 separate post lines; check each one against your qualification instead of applying for the headline number.

Post-wise Eligibility at a Glance

Post-wise qualification level, subject requirement and minimum marks, where the notice states them:

• Selection runs through: Written Examination → Interview → Document Verification → Medical Examination. Prepare for the later stage while the first is still pending, because gaps between stages are usually short.
• Track negative marking rules in the notice and practise attempting only questions you are reasonably sure of.
• Read the exam pattern once fully so you know the sections, marks and duration before you begin.
