Last verified: 14 October 2026 (Wednesday, evening). The vacancy list, salary figures and fee details below are CONFIRMED from the school’s recruitment announcement as reported by ABP Live (published 14 October 2026) and independently corroborated by FreeJobAlert, AssamCareer and NorthEast Now. The advertisement number (SSG/03/2026, dated 3 October 2026) and postal address are per the notification as reported by these outlets — read the official advertisement on the school website before sending money or documents.
Before the confusion starts: this is recruitment, not admission. Sainik School Goalpara, Assam, has opened applications for 13 teaching and non-teaching posts for 2026 — teachers, administrators, support staff and a horse riding instructor. The announcement (Advt. No. SSG/03/2026, dated 3 October 2026) hit the national news this morning, and applications must reach the school on or before 12 November 2026.
Why carry this on a parent-focused admissions site? Because a school that hires well is a school that teaches well. Staffing quality — especially PGT/TGT appointments — is one of the most underrated signals parents can check before choosing a Sainik School during AISSAC counselling. And plenty of readers have relatives — uncles, aunts, older siblings — looking for a government school job.

Monthly remuneration reported in the announcement (CONFIRMED from ABP Live’s report of the notification):
These are the advertised figures — confirm the final pay structure against the official notification, since allowances and tenure terms can shift between posts.
There is no online form. This is a paper application, and the school must receive it physically:
Post it at least a week before the deadline — late arrivals are rejected outright, and postal delays are not excused. Keep a photocopy of everything you send.
The process, per the announcement, may include a written examination, a skill test, a classroom demonstration and an interview, depending on the post. Only candidates meeting the post-specific eligibility (age: 18–50 years as on 12 November 2026; 21–50 for PGT/TGT posts, per the notification) will be called for the written test. Shortlisted candidates are informed through the school’s website, so keep checking it after you apply.
A similar recruitment drive at Sainik School Kunjpura ran last month, and these school-level announcements have been arriving steadily this year — a good sign for the system’s staffing, and for parents shortlisting schools.

Is this recruitment also on a contractual basis?
Mostly, yes. Only the Quartermaster post is regular; the rest are contractual (11 months initially, most extendable). Read the tenure terms for your post carefully before applying.
