OAVS Recruitment 2026 Notification

Reviewed by the OnJob Editorial Team — career researchers covering jobs, salaries and hiring across India. Questions? editorial@onjob.io

In short: Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya Sangathan runs the state’s Adarsha Vidyalaya schools and hires contractual teaching, support and non-teaching staff for them. OAVS recruitment 2026 covers TGT and PGT teachers, wardens, cooks, chowkidars and sweepers, and applications are sent by speed or registered post rather than through an online form. Teaching posts follow the state pay matrix, starting at ₹44,900 for TGT and ₹47,600 for PGT.

What posts are open in the 2026 cycle?

Three separate notifications run in parallel: contractual teachers, support staff attached to individual schools, and non-teaching contractual posts. Each has its own closing date and each is applied for by post, so the envelope has to physically reach the school or Sangathan office before the deadline printed on the notification.

When are the important dates announced?

Dates are published per notification rather than on a fixed annual calendar, and the support-staff deadline varies from school to school because each Adarsha Vidyalaya advertises separately. Treat the schedule below as the sequence of events, and take the actual day and month from the PDF for the post you are applying to.

Event	Date
Notification Release	Check OAVS official website (https://oav.edu.in/)
Apply / dispatch window	Updated in the 2026 notification PDF
Last date to apply	Check official notification (https://oav.edu.in/)

Where can you download the official notification PDF?

Two official domains carry Sangathan documents — oav.edu.in and oavs.in — and the recruitment PDF, syllabus and result are published there. Download the notification directly from one of them rather than from a forwarded copy, because eligibility clauses and the dispatch address are frequently revised between drafts.

• Notification PDF and recruitment updates

• Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya Sangathan official site

Who is eligible to apply?

Eligibility is decided post by post. Teaching roles need a subject degree plus B.Ed, the physical education post needs a B.P.Ed, and the computer teacher post accepts B.E./B.Tech, MCA, BCA or B.Sc in Computer Science. Support-staff roles ask for a school-leaving qualification and, for cooks, relevant training or experience.

TGT	Bachelor’s + B.Ed	18–65 yrs
Warden	B.A./B.Sc	30–60 yrs

What is the salary for OAVS teachers?

Teaching posts are paid on the state pay matrix, which is what makes these among the better-paid contractual school jobs in Odisha. A PGT draws ₹47,600 to ₹1,51,100 a month across the matrix and a TGT ₹44,900 to ₹1,42,400, with allowances, medical cover and pension benefits applied as per the applicable service rules.

• PGT: ₹47,600–₹1,51,100 per month (as per Pay Matrix)

• TGT: ₹44,900–₹1,42,400 per month

• Benefits include allowances, medical, and pension schemes

Frequently asked questions

How do you download the admit card?

Log in on the official website with the credentials generated when your application was accepted, then download the admit card for your post. Carry a printed copy along with the photo ID you declared on the application form; centres routinely refuse entry without both.

What is the last date to apply?

Each of the three notifications closes on its own date, and for support staff the date is set by the individual school. The deadline is a reach-by date for a posted application, so allow for transit time rather than dispatching on the final day.

What is the PGT salary?

The PGT pay band runs from ₹47,600 to ₹1,51,100 per month under the pay matrix.

Can an older notification be used to judge eligibility?

Past notifications are a reasonable guide to the qualification and age pattern, but they are not binding. The clauses in the current PDF are the ones that decide your application, so read them before paying any fee or dispatching documents.

Where is the syllabus published?

Subject syllabi, including the TGT mathematics syllabus, are published on the official website alongside the recruitment notification for that post.

How is the result announced?

Results are published online as a merit list on the official Sangathan website, listing selected candidates for each post and school.

What should applicants do next?

These posts fill a genuine need — Adarsha Vidyalayas are Odisha’s model schools, and teaching there carries pay matrix parity with regular government teaching posts. Read the notification for your post in full, keep your degree, B.Ed and category certificates ready, and dispatch the application early enough that it reaches the listed address before the closing date.
