Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog (HPRCA) has launched a major recruitment drive for 600 Junior Basic Teacher (JBT) positions in 2026. This opportunity targets aspiring educators with relevant qualifications to join government schools across the state.
The drive, under Advertisement No. 05/2026, offers Junior Basic Teacher (Job Trainee) roles with a consolidated salary of Rs. 18,000 per month. Applications opened online on March 16, 2026, and the last date is April 6, 2026, via the official HPRCA website.
HPRCA, based in Hamirpur, handles teacher selections for Himachal Pradesh's education department. These posts focus on primary-level teaching in state cadre and CBSE-affiliated schools.
Candidates need 10+2 with at least 50% marks (or equivalent Senior Secondary) plus a 2-year JBT course or D.El.Ed from a HPBOSE-affiliated institute. Alternatives include Senior Secondary (45-50% marks) with D.El.Ed per NCTE norms, B.El.Ed, Diploma in Special Education, Graduation with D.El.Ed, or Post-Graduation (55%) with integrated B.Ed-M.Ed.
All applicants must pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) conducted by HP Board of School Education, Dharamshala, or an authorized agency. Age limit is 18-45 years as of January 1, 2026, with relaxations for reserved categories.
Applications are online only at hprca.hp.gov.in. Steps include registration, form filling, document upload, and fee payment. No offline mode is available, and the window closes April 6, 2026.
Prepare scanned copies of photo, signature, TET certificate, educational marksheets, and ID proof. Double-check details before submission to avoid corrections later.
The process starts with a Written Screening Test (Computer-Based Test or CBT). Shortlisted candidates proceed to document verification. No interview is mentioned; merit is based on CBT scores.
The CBT covers pedagogy, child development, languages (Hindi/English), maths, environmental studies, and Himachal GK. Expect objective-type questions aligned with JBT syllabus.
Selected JBTs receive Rs. 18,000 monthly consolidated pay during the job trainee period. Permanent absorption may follow based on performance and vacancies, with standard government perks like DA, HRA, and pension eligibility.
This fixed stipend suits freshers entering public service while gaining classroom experience.
