Govt Teacher Vacancy 2026: Official Recruitment Tracker
India has no single common teacher-recruitment form and no one official nationwide vacancy total. The Ministry of Education states that sanctioned posts, teachers in position and vacancies are maintained by the respective States and Union Territories. The table below therefore reports each recruitment separately.
Accuracy note
An examination, admit-card or result update in 2026 does not make an older recruitment a fresh 2026 application. Always check the status column before using an Apply link.

Is KVS Recruitment 2026 open for application?
No. The current KVS–NVS drive is Notification 01/2025. Its application window closed on 11 December 2025, and it is at the Tier-II result stage in August 2026.
How many KVS and NVS teacher posts are there?

Has the BPSC TRE-4 application started?
No verified application window was available on the official BPSC portal on 13 August 2026. The exam-calendar entry must not be confused with a detailed recruitment advertisement.
Is CTET enough to get a government teacher job?
No. CTET is an eligibility test, not an appointment. Candidates must separately apply for a recruitment and satisfy its educational, subject, age, category and experience rules.
Can a B.Ed candidate apply for a primary teacher post?
Do not use a blanket yes or no. Primary-teacher eligibility depends on the applicable rules and the exact qualification routes accepted in the recruitment notice.
What is the age limit for government teacher vacancies?
It varies by post and organisation. In the recruitments covered here, the general upper limit ranges from 35 for UPSC Vice Principal to 50 for UPSC Principal. Other posts and reserved-category relaxations follow their own notifications.
