Sainik School Nagrota, the residential school under the Sainik Schools Society (Ministry of Defence) in Jammu, has invited applications for three posts — one regular teaching post and two contractual posts. The advertisement appeared in Employment News (31 October–6 November 2026, page 61), and applications must reach the school by Speed Post on or before 20 November 2026. That leaves just nine days from today.
This is an offline, postal recruitment. There is no online form and no email submission. If you are eligible, the clock that matters is the postal one — post early, because the school has said clearly that it will not be responsible for postal delays, and applications received after the deadline will be rejected.
| Post | Vacancies | Nature | Age limit | Pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TGT (Computer Science) | 1 (UR) | Regular | 21–35 years | Pay Level 7: Rs. 44,900–1,42,400 plus DA and allowances |
| Art Master | 1 (UR) | Contractual | 21–50 years | Rs. 35,000 per month |
| Nursing Sister (Female) | 1 (UR) | Contractual | 18–50 years | Rs. 25,500 per month |
The contractual posts carry an initial engagement of one year — 11 serving months and a one-month break — extendable annually up to three years on satisfactory performance. No salary is payable during the break period, and a contractual appointment does not create any right to a regular appointment. The school also offers rent-free suitable accommodation and free messing with cadets for selected candidates, subject to the terms of each appointment.
TGT (Computer Science) needs a BCA with at least 50% marks, or graduation in Computer Science/IT with at least 50% marks, or a B.E./B.Tech. in Computer Science/IT with at least 50% marks — plus CTET Paper-II (or the relevant STET) and a B.Ed. with at least 50% marks from an NCTE-recognised institution (or an integrated B.Ed. route). Teaching experience in an English-medium school, a postgraduate qualification, and extra training in networking, IT, AI or machine learning are desirable.
Art Master needs a master’s degree in Fine Arts (Painting specialisation), or graduation with Fine Arts/Art/Drawing and Painting plus a four-year diploma, or higher secondary with a five-year full-time (or seven-year part-time) diploma in Fine Art/Painting/Drawing and Painting. Teaching experience, English proficiency and co-curricular achievements are desirable, and the candidate should be physically fit.
Nursing Sister (Female) needs a B.Sc. Nursing or a Nursing Diploma from a recognised institute, registration with the Indian Nursing Council or a State Nursing Council, and at least two years of experience in a hospital or clinic. Experience in a residential school is desirable.
Send to: The Principal, Sainik School Nagrota, Nagrota, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir – 181221.
Only eligible and shortlisted candidates will be called for the selection process, which the school has tentatively scheduled for December 2026 / January 2027. The notification does not spell out the detailed stages for each post, and no TA/DA will be paid for attending. Keep the postal receipt safe — it is your only proof of having applied on time.
Sainik School recruitments close fast and quietly — the recent Sainik School Nalanda and Chittorgarh advertisements both closed on 7 November, and Goalpara’s 13-post recruitment closes on 12 November. Nagrota’s window is one of the few still open, and with only three posts, the competition will be sharp. If you meet the qualifications, do not wait for the last day: post the application this week.
