These are Principal and Vice-Principal roles in Delhi’s schools, announced by UPSC. Think about that: UPSC, usually known for IAS and IPS, now handling school leadership roles. Why? Because Delhi government wants top-tier education leaders; and they’re pulling out the big guns to find them. The catch? You don’t need to be a topper from IIT or an IIM grad. You just need a Master’s degree, 5 years of teaching experience, and sharp knowledge of education policy, digital tools, and school management. The salary? ₹56,100 – ₹1,77,500 per month. Plus, job security, pension, and influence over how thousands of students learn. What’s interesting? 704 of these 828 posts are for Vice-Principals; which means the system is building a pipeline. These aren’t just jobs; they’re grooming grounds for future school heads. And yes, women get 50% reservation in many categories; a quiet, powerful push for gender balance in education leadership. The test is on November 1st; objective, 2-hour, 300 marks. Negative marking. Syllabus covers everything from Hindi/English to financial admin to pedagogy. And the real twist? The interview carries 25% weight; meaning your communication, presence, and vision matter as much as your book knowledge. If you’re a teacher tired of the grind, this is your upgrade path. If you’ve been eyeing a government job but thought UPSC was too big for you; think again. This is your window. Apply by August 14. No paper forms. No backdoor. Just one clean, transparent process; because UPSC doesn’t do shortcuts.
