APS Old Amritsar Cantt Principal Recruitment 2026: Overview
Army Public School (APS), Old Amritsar Cantt, a school run under the Army Welfare Education Society (AWES), is looking for a Principal to lead the school, which teaches up to Class VIII (middle school). This is a term-based appointment: you join for a fixed first term and can later be made regular if your work meets AWES standards.
The advertisement is hosted on the website of Army Public School Amritsar (Khasa) on the directions of the competent authority, so that is where you download the form. The post suits experienced PGTs and serving Vice Principals from CBSE schools who want to move into school leadership.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- First term: The initial appointment is for four years. After successful service, you may be regularised through a special screening board, subject to professional competency and other AWES norms.
- Regular degrees only: Both the Master's degree and the B.Ed must be regular courses; the form asks whether your graduation and post-graduation were through correspondence or regular mode.
- APS teachers: If you already work as a PGT or TGT in an Army Public School, you only need to meet the experience and age conditions.
- Shortlisting: The management shortlists candidates on qualification, experience and other criteria before calling anyone for the panel interview.
- No travel allowance: No TA/DA is paid for attending the interview.
Application Submission Notes

Only a hard copy of the application with supporting documents is considered, so do not rely on email alone. The AWES Cell email given in the advertisement is dirawes.wc@awesindia.edu.in.
The form asks for your service as Principal, Vice Principal, PGT and TGT with exact dates, plus your current salary and notice period, so keep these details ready before you start.
