The UPSC quietly opened applications for 124 Principals and 704 Vice-Principals in Delhi’s schools. That’s not just a job; it’s a career upgrade with a government salary, pension, and real authority. But here’s the catch: You’ve got only 21 days to apply (till Aug 14). And yes; women, SC/ST, and PwBD candidates pay zero application fee. The test is on Nov 1: 2-hour MCQs on education policy, management, digital literacy, and reasoning. Then a personal interview. What’s smart? The syllabus is practical; no random GK. It’s about running schools, not memorizing dates. If you’re a teacher with 5+ years experience, this could be your shot to lead. Don’t wait till the last day; UPSC portals crash. Bookmark the apply link, double-check your categories, and get your scanned docs ready. This isn’t just another exam; it’s a pathway to shaping Delhi’s classrooms. And with 828 seats, the competition might be gentler than UPSC civil services… if you act fast.
