The Education Ministry has taken an important step towards streamlining recruitment to teaching and non-teaching posts in central educational institutions. The latest development is the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) tasked with conducting a common recruitment examination for both Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS).
Common Recruitment Examination by CBSE for KVS and NVS
Recently, according to an affidavit submitted in the Delhi High Court, the Education Ministry decided to handle the recruitment for all teaching and non-teaching posts in KVS and NVS through a single KVS and NVS Combined Recruitment Examination conducted by CBSE. The measure will cover posts coming up to December 31, 2025, including vacancies for special teachers.
The Education Ministry’s move to authorize CBSE for joint recruitment for KVS and NVS marks a major policy shift aimed at fairness, efficiency and simplicity. Candidates planning for these recruitment exams should follow the official updates for more details.
Benefits of NVS KVS Common Recruitment Exam
- Transparency: CBSE’s centralized examination approach is generally considered transparent and robust, leading to fair selection.
- Capacity: Holding a joint recruitment examination will likely reduce administrative delays and make the overall process more efficient.
- Equal Opportunity: Applicants for both KVS and NVS posts will have standard eligibility and testing criteria to promote parity.
