Manipur Staff Selection Commission (MSSC) Special Primary Teacher Recruitment 2026 - 80 Posts

MSSC has released Advertisement No. 02/2026 for 80 Special Primary Teacher posts in the Education (S) Department, Government of Manipur, on a regular basis. These are Group C, Non-Gazetted posts meant for teaching children with special needs as part of inclusive education programmes in Manipur's schools. You must be sponsored by your local Employment Exchange before you can apply — this is a mandatory first step for this recruitment, and only sponsored candidates can register online. Candidates trained in special education with a valid RCI registration and a TET-1 pass are the ideal fit for these posts.

The Commission has also received approval to conduct a Computer Based Test (CBT) for this recruitment, so shortlisting will not be based on paper applications alone. This gives every eligible, sponsored candidate a fair, transparent shot at one of these 80 permanent teaching posts, which are spread across schools that need trained special educators.

Selection Process

Selection for these 80 posts happens in the following stages:

1. Computer Based Test (CBT): Conducted by MSSC at your chosen centre — Imphal, Churachandpur, or Senapati. You choose your preferred district/centre while submitting your online application.
2. Document Verification: You must produce original certificates for your qualification, age, category, community, and disability (if applicable) whenever the Commission calls for them.

Failure to produce your original documents when asked will result in cancellation of your candidature, so keep every certificate — qualification, TET-1, RCI CRR, domicile, and category — ready before you apply.

How to Apply

1. Get sponsored by your local Employment Exchange in Manipur before you begin.
2. Go to manipurssc.mn.gov.in and register using your Employment Exchange sponsorship credentials.
3. Log in with your User ID and password.
4. Fill in your profile details accurately — name, date of birth, category, language, RCI CRR status, and Government Service NOC if applicable.
5. Upload your photo, scanned documents, and signature, then accept the mandatory qualification validation declaration.
6. Pay the application fee online and confirm your submission.
7. Save the acknowledgement receipt generated after submission for future reference.

These are regular, permanent posts — not contract or temporary positions — which makes this recruitment a strong long-term career option for trained special educators in Manipur. Since sponsorship, RCI registration, and TET-1 are all mandatory prerequisites, start organizing these documents early so you are not scrambling close to the closing date.
