The Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) has released Advertisement No. 04/2026 for 6,101 Regular Para Teacher posts under the School Education and Literacy Department, Government of Jharkhand. This is one of the biggest teaching recruitment drives in the state this year and covers Trained Assistant Teacher (Sahayak Acharya) positions for both primary (Class I-V) and upper primary (Class VI-VIII) levels through the JTAACCE-2026 (Jharkhand Trained Assistant Teacher cum Coordinator Combined Examination) process. A separate Advertisement No. 05/2026 covers 1,198 backlog posts reserved for existing para teachers with at least 2 years of continuous service under the Jharkhand Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad — this listing covers only the Regular vacancy advertisement (Advt No. 04/2026). Vacancies are spread across schools in all districts of Jharkhand, so wherever you live in the state, there is likely to be a posting near you. Freshers with a valid JTET or CTET qualification are strongly encouraged to apply, since this is your chance to become a permanent government school teacher in Jharkhand.
