This recruitment is for contractual engagement in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas under NVS Shillong Region for the academic session 2026-27. The posts cover both teaching and non-teaching roles, including PGT, TGT, Female Staff Nurse, Counselor and Hostel Superintendent. The process combines online registration through email with a later walk-in interview at designated venue JNVs.
For most candidates, the important point is that this is a regional contractual panel, not a national direct recruitment to permanent posts. The notification is meant for engagement against requirement in Shillong Region schools, and the final interview schedule is to be communicated by the concerned venue principal after registration closes.
If you are planning to apply, focus first on four things: the exact post you are eligible for, the registration window, the age cut-off as on 01 June 2026, and the documents you must carry to the interview. This guide is structured around those practical points so you can decide quickly whether this notification fits your profile.
What this NVS recruitment is for
Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, Shillong Region has issued a contractual recruitment notice for the academic session 2026-27. The engagement is for teaching and selected non-teaching posts in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas under the region.
The posts are not regular permanent vacancies. The engagement is temporary and is meant to continue for the academic session 2026-27 or until a regular incumbent joins, whichever is earlier.
This matters because candidates should treat the process as a contractual school engagement with regional posting flexibility, not as a central direct appointment carrying long-term service benefits.

How the application process actually works
This recruitment is often described as an online application, but in practice it has two stages.
