JEPC School Manager Recruitment 2026: Overview
Jharkhand Education Project Council (JEPC) is hiring Managers for Schools of Excellence under the Adarsh Vidyalaya Scheme. The council works under Jharkhand's School Education and Literacy Department, and these school-based engagements support the state's efforts to improve government education.
The scheme's schools are located at district headquarters and nearby places across Jharkhand. They are being affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), so the recruitment sits within a wider programme of school improvement.
JEPC's wider work includes implementing Samagra Shiksha and residential-school programmes. The department's transformation plans cover school infrastructure, teaching methods, teacher development and monitoring; this manager engagement forms part of that setting.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Initial appointment: You will join on a short-term contract for one year. Any continuation beyond that period depends on the renewal terms in the notice.
- Annual renewal: JEPC may extend the contract each year after considering your Annual Performance Appraisal. Renewal depends on satisfactory performance and the other applicable conditions; it is not automatic.
- School placement: The engagement is for Schools of Excellence at district-headquarter locations or nearby areas. You need to be willing to work at the school location assigned under the scheme.
- Reservation: The notice sets out state-category reservation provisions for Jharkhand applicants. Annexure C explains which certificate formats the council accepts for these claims.
- Recruitment discretion: The State Project Director can reject an application or cancel the recruitment process at any stage without giving a reason.
- Disputes: Any legal dispute concerning this recruitment falls within the jurisdiction of courts at Ranchi.
