This one’s different. No single national vacancy count. No uniform salary. No blanket eligibility. Each DAV school, each zone, each state decides its own rules. That’s right; you’re not applying to DAVCMC. You’re applying to a specific school, in a specific city, with its own advertised posts and deadlines. The real game? Timing and local awareness. Applications opened 16th September. Deadline? 8th October. Admit card in November. Exam in December. The CBT is 90 minutes; 15 reasoning questions in 20 mins, then 40 subject-specific MCQs. No negative marking. But here’s the catch: you can’t pay the ₹300 fee until your documents are verified at a physical DAV center. And if you miss that 7-day payment window after approval? You’re out. Teaching posts like PRT, TGT, PGT require B.Ed. + graduation/postgrad, depending on the role. Nursery teachers? Only for women, with NTT certification. Non-teaching staff; from LDC to Lab Assistants; need specific degrees and sometimes diplomas. Selection isn’t over after the exam. Clear the CBT? Get a Provisional Eligibility Card. Then face a demo class and interview; conducted by the school, not DAVCMC. Salary? PGTs can pull ₹47,600–1.5L, TGTs ₹44,900–1.42L, PRTs ₹35,400–1.12L; but it varies by state. This isn’t a centralized exam with a single rulebook. This is 100+ independent battles; each school fighting for its own best fit. Know your zone. Check local newspapers. Track the verification dates. Because in this race, being late by a day means being out; permanently.
