Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya Sangathan (OAVS) has announced 815 regular vacancies for Principal, PGT, TGT, Art Teacher, Physical Education Teacher and Computer Teacher posts under Advertisement No. 1/2026. The online application window runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 November 2026 at 5:00 PM. Posts are across Odisha Adarsha Vidyalayas and Odisha Mining Adarsha Vidyalayas under the School & Mass Education Department.

The 109 principal vacancies are at Pay Level-13, while PGT posts range from 8 to 30 per subject at Pay Level-11. TGT English has the highest single-category count at 150 posts. Qualifications include Master's or Bachelor's degrees, B.Ed., and experience requirements vary by post. Candidates must be Indian citizens, with age limits of 21 to 42 years for most posts and 32 to 50 years for principal, as on 1 January 2026. Reservation covers SEBC, SC, ST, women, 15 ex-servicemen, 6 sports quota, and 32 PwD seats across disability categories.
The 815 vacancies spread across 17 categories, with 109 principal posts at Pay Level-13, signal a large-scale recruitment drive for Odisha’s Adarsha Vidyalayas. The principal eligibility requires a Master’s degree, B.Ed., and specific administrative experience, which may narrow the applicant pool given the tiered experience routes detailed. The notification leaves the CBT and interview dates unspecified, meaning candidates must monitor the official website for schedules. Reservation includes 15 ex-servicemen and 6 sports quota vacancies, with 32 posts reserved across four PwD categories. The three-year Odia language exemption for those without MIL Odia up to Middle English standard provides a pathway but requires passing a BSE Odisha exam after joining.
