If you were planning to post your application to Sainik School Goalpara today, that plan has run out of road. The last date for receipt of applications was today, 12 November 2026 — and the notice is clear that the application must reach the school by that date, not merely be posted on it. Anything arriving later does not count.
The recruitment, advertised on 3 October 2026, offered 13 posts — teaching and non-teaching, regular and contractual — at the school in Rajapara, Goalpara district, Assam.
| Post | Nature | Posts |
|---|---|---|
| Quarter Master | Regular | 1 |
| PGT Physics | Contractual | 1 |
| TGT Mathematics | Contractual | 1 |
| TGT Social Science | Contractual | 1 |
| Band Master | Contractual | 1 |
| PTI-cum-Matron (Female) | Contractual | 1 |
| Mess Manager | Contractual | 1 |
| Lower Division Clerk (LDC) | Contractual | 1 |
| Ward Boy | Contractual | 2 |
| Office Superintendent | Contractual | 1 |
| System Administrator (IT) | Contractual | 1 |
| Horse Riding Instructor | Contractual | 1 |
| Total | 13 |
The application fee was Rs. 300 for General candidates and Rs. 200 for SC/ST/OBC candidates, paid by demand draft in favour of the Principal, Sainik School Goalpara.
This is the part nobody can rush, and the notice is honest about it. The school will first scrutinise the applications it received — checking eligibility, certificates and the demand draft — and then shortlist candidates. The written test and interview dates will be intimated by email. No date has been announced, and no list has been published yet.
So if you applied, here is the honest picture: do not expect a call tomorrow. Shortlisting takes days, sometimes weeks. What you can do is make sure the school can actually reach you.
If the Goalpara deadline slipped past you, there is still one live opening in the Sainik School family. Sainik School Nagrota in Jammu and Kashmir is accepting applications for 3 posts — TGT (Computer Science), Art Master and Nursing Sister (Female) — by speed post only, until 20 November 2026. The fee there is Rs. 500. Read the official notice on the school’s website before you post anything.
And if your child, rather than your career, is the reason you follow Sainik Schools — the AISSEE 2027 application window is open until 2 December 2026, with the exam on 31 January 2027. Our 20-days-left explainer lays out the form track and the preparation track side by side.
