SSM TGT English and Counsellor Recruitment 2026: Overview

Sainik School Mainpuri (SSM) is recruiting a TGT English teacher and a Counsellor for its campus at Nouner Kharra in Uttar Pradesh. The school works under the Sainik Schools Society, Ministry of Defence, and both roles are contractual. The initial appointment can be extended, subject to the limits stated in the notice.

Posts and Disciplines

  • TGT English: This is the English teaching role at the Mainpuri school. The notice uses TGT for Trained Graduate Teacher and places the role in the school's classroom teaching setting.
  • Counsellor: This role is linked to student guidance in a residential school. The notice highlights career and educational counselling, along with an interest in extracurricular activities and residential school life.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Contract term: Each appointment starts with a one-year contract and may be extended up to three years. An extension is a possibility, not a promise of a longer appointment.
  • School rules: The recruitment follows Sainik Schools Society rules and regulations, including amendments made from time to time.
  • Post-appointment training: If you join the teaching post through the B.Ed Special Education route, you must complete the NCTE six-month Special Programme in Elementary Education after appointment.
  • Travel expenses: The school will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending its recruitment tests. You will need to arrange your own travel.
  • Cancellation: The school may cancel a vacancy if it cannot find a suitable candidate, or for administrative or policy reasons.
  • Category provision: The notice says an unfilled vacancy may be filled from another category when a suitable candidate is unavailable in the specified category.
  • Accuracy of your details: Differences or false information in certificates relating to birth, education or work experience can lead to rejection at any point in the recruitment.

Application Submission Notes

  • Postal destination: Address your application to the Principal, Sainik School Mainpuri, Village Nouner Kharra, Agra Road, Tehsil Sadar Mainpuri, District Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh 205119.
  • Accepted delivery: Use Ordinary Post, Registered Post or Speed Post through Indian Postal Services. The school will not accept applications delivered by hand or sent by email.
  • Receipt matters: Your application must reach the school within the stated window. Late applications will be rejected, and the school does not take responsibility for postal delays.
  • Prescribed form: Use the recruitment form included with the notice and fill your details in capital letters. Clearly name the post you are applying for.
  • Call-letter communication: Give a working email address and mobile number in clear handwriting. The school will send call letters only by email, so an unreadable address could prevent you from receiving the message.
