CBSE to open recruitment for teaching & non-teaching posts in KVS and NVS

The recruitment will be conducted on a direct basis and is open to eligible Indian citizens.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a recruitment notification for various teaching and non-teaching positions in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS). The recruitment will be conducted on a direct basis and is open to eligible Indian citizens.

Online applications will be accepted starting November 14, 2025, with the last date for submission set as December 4, 2025. The detailed notification for the posts will be released later by the Board. Interested candidates are urged to apply only through the official websites to ensure access to accurate details and procedures:

– CBSE: cbse.gov.in
– KVS: kvsangathan.nic.in
– NVS: navodaya.gov.in

Meanwhile, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had approved the establishment of 57 new Kendriya Vidyalayas across 17 states and Union Territories. These schools aim to expand access to quality education for children of Central government employees, especially in underserved regions such as aspirational districts, Left Wing Extremism-affected areas, and hilly or northeastern zones.

With an estimated cost of Rs 5,862.55 crore over nine years, the new KVs will include pre-primary sections and are expected to benefit over 86,000 students, adding to the existing network of 1,288 Kendriya Vidyalayas nationwide.

Drop in admissions in Kendriya Vidyalayas

It is also pertinent to note that there has been a decline in student admissions in Kendriya Vidyalayas, as per a written reply by the Ministry of Education’s Department of School Education and Literacy. The question asked by BK Parthasarathi from the Telugu Desam Party and Sudha R from Congress highlights that there are 1280 Kendriya Vidyalayas functioning in the country, with 13,50,518 lakh students studying in those educational institutions.

In the academic session 2020-21, 13,87,763 lakh students were enrolled in KVs, while as of the 2024-25 academic session, 13,50,518 lakh students are studying. Comparing the two academic sessions, there is a clear drop of 37,245 lakh students, resulting in a drop of 2.86 per cent (approx)

KVs are run by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education. All KVs are affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and follow a common curriculum based on National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbooks.

Although the admission process of KVs follows specific guidelines and primarily caters to children of Central government employees and defence personnel, others are considered based on seat availability.
