DAV College Managing Committee Staff Recruitment 2026

Good news for teachers and school-support professionals. DAV College Managing Committee has opened its centralised Computer-Based Test registration pipeline for staff recruitment across participating DAV schools. The recruitment covers teaching and ministerial posts for the 2027-28 academic cycle.

This is not one all-India vacancy list. Individual zones and schools advertise their vacant posts, while DAVCMC conducts a common CBT. Candidates must choose only one post, complete verification, pay the prescribed fee and qualify in the test before an individual school can consider them for a demo-cum-interview.

Official verification status: The details below are based on the supplied recruitment information. Confirm every post-specific requirement in the relevant 2026 zone or school newspaper advertisement before registration.

Quick takeaway: Online CBT registration begins on 16 September 2026. Candidates must submit their forms as “FORM READY FOR VERIFICATION” by 8 October 2026, complete physical verification between 25 September and 16 October, and pay ₹300 within seven days of approval. The CBT is planned for December 2026, followed by separate school-level demo-cum-interviews.

Vacancy Details

DAVCMC has not released a single nationwide vacancy count. A post listed in the central CBT framework is not necessarily vacant at every school. Candidates must check the advertisement published by the particular DAV zone or school they intend to target.

Who Can Apply?

The appropriate eligibility depends on the post printed in the individual 2026 advertisement. Typical applicant groups include:

• B.Ed or D.El.Ed candidates seeking PRT positions.
• Graduates with B.Ed seeking TGT posts, subject to the school’s prescribed requirements.
• Postgraduates with B.Ed seeking PGT posts, subject to the relevant advertisement.
• Women with nursery or pre-primary training for Nursery/Pre-Primary Teacher posts.
• B.Com or office-oriented graduates for suitable clerical posts.
• Science or computer laboratory graduates for relevant Lab Assistant posts.
• GNM or B.Sc Nursing candidates for Nurse posts advertised by a school.
• Library diploma or degree holders for relevant library positions.

Important Eligibility Restrictions

• Each candidate may apply for only one post under CBT 2027-28.
• Male candidates cannot apply for the female-only Nursery/Pre-Primary Teacher post.
• A candidate cannot choose a CBT centre at a school where the candidate, spouse or relative works.
• Registration must use the candidate’s own registered mobile number and email address.

Age, Qualifications and Gender

The central CBT notice does not provide a uniform maximum age, detailed degree table, minimum marks or gender rule for every post. Eligibility is checked against the applicable DAVCMC, state and CBSE norms at the Verification Centre and against the specific school advertisement. Do not rely on an age limit from an earlier recruitment cycle.

Application Fee

The CBT fee is ₹300 for all candidates. It is not payable immediately at registration. Payment opens only after the Verification Centre approves the form and changes its status to “VERIFIED AND APPROVED FOR PAYMENT.” Approved candidates then have seven days to complete the online payment.

A school may prescribe a separate handling charge during Phase 3, but no uniform amount is specified in the central notice. Never pay an unverified person for guaranteed selection or job assistance.

Salary and Benefits

The central notice does not state a common salary scale. Pay is fixed by the appointing DAV school and may depend on the school’s location, category and appointment terms. Candidates should confirm the salary, benefits, probation and transfer conditions from the specific advertisement and final appointment letter.

Selection Process

1. Registration and document verification: Complete the online form, attend a DAV Verification Centre and present original documents for scrutiny.
2. Fee payment: Pay ₹300 within seven days after approval.
3. Computer-Based Test: Take the CBT planned for December 2026.
4. PEC: Download the Provisional Eligibility Card after the result and any required follow-up.
5. Demo-cum-interview: Respond to the individual school or zone that issues the call notice.
6. Appointment: Receive employment only after completing the school’s selection process and accepting its terms.

A PEC is a screening document, not an appointment letter. CBT success alone does not guarantee a job.

How to Apply Online

2. Open the official recruitment portal and select the relevant CBT registration link.
3. Register with your own mobile number and email ID.
4. Choose only the post actually advertised by your target school.
5. Fill in personal, educational and contact information correctly.
6. Upload the photograph and signature in the format requested by the portal.
7. Review the completed form and submit it as “FORM READY FOR VERIFICATION” by 8 October 2026.
8. Download and print the form.

10. After approval, pay ₹300 within seven days.
11. In November 2026, select the exam-centre preference if required and download the admit card.

• Printed CBT registration form
• Educational certificates and mark sheets
• B.Ed, D.El.Ed or relevant professional certificates
• NCTE or council documents where applicable
• Government photo identity document
• Experience certificates, if claimed

Carry originals to verification. Keep self-attested copies as instructed by the centre or school. At the CBT centre, candidates generally need a printed admit card, a recent colour photograph and an original photo ID matching the application.

Important Instructions

• Do not submit two CBT applications for the same cycle.

• Do not expect the payment button before verification approval.
• Use the same mobile number and email for registration, admit-card download and future communication.

• Check the final school advertisement because central post availability does not guarantee a vacancy.
• Keep printouts and originals safely available for every verification stage.
• Do not pay anyone who offers guaranteed selection or confidential job assistance.

Official Verification and Source Links

Candidates should use the official recruitment portal for registration, payment, verification-centre details, admit-card downloads and provisional eligibility information. The DAVCMC organisation website provides institutional details. School and zone newspaper advertisements remain essential for confirming actual vacancies, subject-specific qualifications, age conditions, salary and Phase 3 requirements.

FAQs

What is the last date for DAV staff recruitment 2026?

The online form must be submitted as “FORM READY FOR VERIFICATION” by 8 October 2026. Physical verification continues until 16 October 2026, and approved candidates must pay the fee within seven days.

Is there one all-India DAV vacancy list?

No. School and zone advertisements identify the available vacancies. The central portal provides the common CBT recruitment framework, not a complete vacancy count for every school.

Can I apply for more than one post?

No. A candidate may apply for only one post in the CBT 2027-28 cycle.

Can male candidates apply for Nursery or Pre-Primary Teacher?

No. The supplied recruitment information identifies this position as female-only.

What is the age limit for PGT, TGT and PRT posts?

A uniform age limit is not printed in the central information. Check the applicable 2026 school or zone advertisement and the verification criteria.

What is the DAV PGT or TGT salary?

Salary is fixed by the appointing school. The central notice does not publish a common pay scale for all DAV schools.

When will the CBT be held?

The CBT is planned for December 2026. The final date sheet, shift and exam pattern should be confirmed through the official recruitment portal.

Is there negative marking in the CBT?

The supplied information describes no negative marking for the previous pattern, but candidates must wait for the official 2027-28 pattern notification before relying on it.

Is the fee payable during registration?

No. The ₹300 fee becomes payable only after the Verification Centre approves the form for payment.

What happens after the CBT?

Qualified candidates receive or can download a Provisional Eligibility Card. Individual schools then conduct their own demo-cum-interview.

Does a PEC guarantee employment?

No. A PEC does not constitute an appointment. A job offer requires selection by the relevant school after the demo and interview.

Can candidates from other states apply?

The CBT process is available across India, subject to the advertised post and verification requirements. Candidates should carefully check the exam-centre rules stated on the portal.

Can final-year students apply?

The central information does not confirm a final-year relaxation. Candidates should apply only if their completed qualifications will satisfy the relevant school and Verification Centre requirements.

Will candidates receive a government job?

This is regular employment in participating DAV schools, not a central or state government cadre appointment. Pension, transfer, probation and service terms depend on the school’s appointment conditions.

Where can a selected candidate be posted?

The posting is with the DAV school that completes the final selection. It may be located anywhere in the DAV network, and transfer conditions should be checked before accepting the appointment.

Final checklist: Confirm the target school’s advertisement, choose one post, register personally, submit by 8 October, complete verification by 16 October and pay the ₹300 fee only through the official portal.
