Vacancies: Not specified centrally · Gender: Nursery/Pre-Primary – Female Only · Posts: Teaching + Ministerial (one post per candidate) · Type: Regular School Service · Mode: Online + Verification Centre · Fee: ₹300 (all candidates) · Apply: 16 September 2026–08 October 2026 · Salary: Fixed by appointing DAV school · Selection: Verification → CBT → Demo-cum-Interview · Location: DAV schools across India
DAV College Managing Committee (DAVCMC), New Delhi, has opened the centralised Computer-Based Test pipeline for staff hiring in DAV schools for the academic session 2027-28. School and zone newspaper advertisements for vacant posts run from 16 to 22 September 2026. The online CBT registration form is live on davrecruit.davcmc.in from 16 September 2026.
This is not a single all-India vacancy list. Zones and individual DAV schools publish which PGT, TGT, PRT, LDC and other posts they need. DAVCMC then runs one national CBT. Schools later call PEC holders for demo and interview.
Form status must be marked “FORM READY FOR VERIFICATION” by 08 October 2026. Physical verification at a DAV Verification Centre runs from 25 September to 16 October 2026. Only candidates who pay ₹300 after approval can sit the December 2026 CBT.

Vacancy interpretation: High-search posts are PGT Physics/Chemistry/Maths/English, TGT Science/Maths, PRT and LDC. Regional-language PRT/TGT seats exist only where that language is taught. Music, Dance, Painting, Library and Nurse seats are fewer and school-specific. Do not apply for a post that your target zone has not advertised.
✅ Confirmed on the central portal: post list, one-post rule, ₹300 fee, three-phase process, dates above.
❓ Not specified centrally: vacancy numbers, category roster, exact degrees, % marks, age cut-off, pay scale.
What Is the Age Limit?
The central CBT 2027-28 pages do not print a uniform age band or cut-off date. Age is assessed at the Verification Centre under DAVCMC / state / CBSE norms for that post. Some zone advertisements in earlier cycles used different maxima for PGT and TGT/PRT. Do not copy an old zone figure unless your 2026 school advertisement repeats it.
Examples cannot be dated until your zone ad states the maximum age and reckoning date.
Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly once your school advertisement publishes the limit.
What Is the Salary? – DAV CMC Staff 2026
Pay is not specified in the central CBT notification. The appointing DAV school fixes the salary in the offer letter. Project schools, grant-in-aid schools and regular public schools under the same committee do not always pay the same package.
Do not treat any third-party “DAV teacher salary” chart as official for this cycle. Ask the school that advertises your post, or wait for the Phase 3 call letter.
Indicative only after joining (not an official DAVCMC figure): in-hand pay depends on the school’s own scale, DA, if any, HRA policy and statutory deductions such as EPF. Confirm from the appointment letter.
What Is the Application Fee?
| Category | CBT fee |
|---|---|
| All candidates | ₹300, online only on the DAV Recruitment website |
Payment is not open at registration. The gateway opens only after the Verification Centre marks the form “VERIFIED AND APPROVED FOR PAYMENT.” You then have 7 days. Unpaid candidates cannot sit the CBT.
Schools may charge a separate nominal handling fee at Phase 3. That amount is not fixed on the central portal.
How to Apply?
Applications are accepted on the DAV Recruitment website, not on davcmc.net.in alone.
- Read the 16–22 September 2026 newspaper advertisement for the DAV school or zone you want.
- Open the DAV Staff Recruitment 2026 application portal (open from 16 September 2026).
- Register with your own Registered Mobile Number (RMN) and your own email ID.
- Fill the CBT form for one post only. Use the Photo & Signature Resizer before uploading if the form asks for images.
- Submit as “FORM READY FOR VERIFICATION” by 08 October 2026. The form stays editable until approval.
- Print the form. Carry original certificates to the nearest DAV Verification Centre between 25 September and 16 October 2026. The centre list is published on the same recruitment website.
- After “VERIFIED AND APPROVED FOR PAYMENT,” pay ₹300 within 7 days on the same portal.
- In November 2026, choose exam-centre preference (first come, first served) and download the admit card.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating 08 October 2026 as the only deadline and skipping physical verification, which runs till 16 October 2026.
- Paying or expecting a pay button before the centre approves the form.
- Registering on a relative’s mobile number. Admit card and PEC later need the same RMN and email.
- Filing two posts because you are eligible for both. Duplicate applications are not accepted.
- Selecting an exam centre in a school where you, your spouse or a relative works.
- Assuming a PEC is an appointment letter. Employment starts only after a demo and interview at a school.
DAV कॉलेज मैनेजिंग कमेटी स्टाफ भर्ती 2026 – पीजीटी, टीजीटी, पीआरटी और एलडीसी के लिए ऑनलाइन आवेदन
DAV कॉलेज मैनेजिंग कमेटी ने सत्र 2027-28 के लिए केंद्रीय CBT प्रक्रिया शुरू की है। स्कूल और जोन 16 से 22 सितंबर 2026 तक समाचार पत्रों में खाली पद छापेंगे। ऑनलाइन फॉर्म 16 सितंबर से davrecruit.davcmc.in पर खुला है। “FORM READY FOR VERIFICATION” की अंतिम तिथि 08 अक्टूबर 2026 है।
कौन आवेदन कर सकता है?
पीजीटी, टीजीटी, पीआरटी, नर्सरी (केवल महिला), काउंसलर, एलडीसी, यूडीसी, लैब असिस्टेंट और नर्स पद CBT सूची में हैं। हर पद हर स्कूल में खाली नहीं है। अपनी योग्यता उसी पद से मिलाएं जो आपके जोन के विज्ञापन में छपा हो। एक उम्मीदवार केवल एक पद के लिए आवेदन कर सकता है।
आयु, योग्यता और वेतन क्या हैं?
केंद्रीय पोर्टल पर एक समान आयु सीमा, डिग्री सूची या वेतनमान नहीं छपा है। सत्यापन केंद्र राज्य, सीबीएसई और DAVCMC के नियमों से जांच करता है। वेतन नियुक्ति देने वाला स्कूल तय करता है। फीस सभी के लिए ₹300 है, सत्यापन के बाद 7 दिनों में ऑनलाइन।
आवेदन और चयन कैसे होंगे?
फॉर्म भरें, प्रिंट लेकर 25 सितंबर से 16 अक्टूबर 2026 के बीच नजदीकी वेरिफिकेशन सेंटर जाएं, फिर फीस भरें। CBT दिसंबर 2026 में होगी। योग्य उम्मीदवार PEC डाउनलोड करेंगे। नौकरी तभी मिलेगी जब स्कूल के डेमो और इंटरव्यू में चयन हो। विस्तृत जानकारी davrecruit.davcmc.in पर देखें।
How Are Candidates Selected?
Selection is a three-phase journey. CBT merit alone does not create an appointment.
- Phase 1 – Registration and verification. Online form, scrutiny of career graph at a Verification Centre, then a ₹300 fee.
- Phase 2 – CBT. Conducted in December 2026 by the DAVCMC CBT Coordination Team for paid candidates. Results and PEC follow 15–20 days after the last test.
- Phase 3 – Demo-cum-Interview. Individual schools or zones advertise separately. Only candidates who clear both demo and interview are offered employment.
Exam centre is allotted in the state mentioned in the CBT form. Centre preference in November 2026 is first come, first served.
CBT exam pattern (tentative — last year’s pattern)
The portal states this is last year’s pattern. For 2027-28, the pattern may change and will be notified in November 2026.
CBT 2027-28 is planned as a 90-minute computer-based test with two papers on the same day and slot. There is no negative marking.
| Shift | Reporting | Entry | CBT timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | 7:30 AM | 7:45–8:15 AM | 8:30–10:00 AM |
| Afternoon | 10:30 AM | 10:45–11:15 AM | 11:30 AM–1:00 PM |
| Evening | 1:30 PM | 1:45–2:15 PM | 2:30–4:00 PM |
| Paper | What it tests | Duration | Questions | Medium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | Verbal and non-verbal reasoning | 20 minutes | 15 MCQs | English |
| Paper 2 | Main subject of the post applied for | 70 minutes | 40 MCQs | English, except regional languages, Hindi and Sanskrit |
The date sheet may pack several papers into one day. Choose the one post you can actually teach or perform.
Why Does DAV College Managing Committee Matter?
DAVCMC is a New Delhi–based education body that runs and manages 900+ institutions: public schools, grant-in-aid schools, colleges and professional institutes. The committee follows Arya Samaj ideals associated with Swami Dayanand Saraswati. Headquarters are at Chitra Gupta Road, Paharganj, New Delhi – 110055.
Candidates search for DAV jobs because the network is large, English-medium CBSE schools are familiar to parents, and one CBT score can later be used when many schools call PEC holders. Project schools linked to industrial townships also hire through the same pipeline.
The honest limit: this is school employment under a private managing committee, not a UPSC/SSC/KVS central government cadre. Pay, transfers and service rules sit in the school appointment letter. See the list of DAV schools pan-India before you lock a zone.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
KVS and NVS PGT/TGT/PRT drives are the closest tabs most teachers keep open next to DAV CBT. Those are central-school systems with published vacancies, 7th CPC pay and a single national advertisement. DAV CMC instead runs a screening test first and leaves vacancies, pay and final selection to schools. If you want a gazetted-style central teacher cadre, KVS/NVS is the cleaner comparison. If you want faster school-level joining inside the DAV network, this pipeline is the one built for that.
Best fit: B.Ed holders who already know which DAV zone they can reach for verification and demo, and who can live with school-wise pay instead of a published Pay Matrix.
Who should skip: Candidates who will not travel for verification or demo, and anyone who treats PEC as a joining letter. Also skip if you need a domicile-locked state government teacher post with roster and grade pay printed upfront.
Practical tip: Read the 16–22 September 2026 newspaper ad for your target zone first. Apply for the one subject you can demo on a blackboard. A second form will not be accepted.
Realistic timeline from similar DAV CBT cycles: registration in September–October, CBT in December, PEC shortly after, school interviews in the following months, joining for session 2027-28. That stretch is often 6–9 months, not two weeks.
What Documents Are Required?
Carry originals to the Verification Centre. The exact checklist is confirmed by the centre; keep this set ready.
- Printout of the CBT registration form
- Educational certificates and marksheets for the post applied for
- B.Ed / D.El.Ed / professional certificates where relevant
- NCTE / council papers if your degree requires them
- Photo ID that matches the form name
- Experience certificates, if you claim school experience
- Photographs as specified on the form
At the CBT centre, the portal requires: printed admit card, one recent colour passport-size photograph, and original government photo ID (PAN, driving licence, voter ID, passport or Aadhaar) matching the admit card. Stationery and communication devices are prohibited.
Phase 3 schools typically ask for PEC, CBT application printout, originals plus self-attested copies, and photographs. Some zones have earlier charged a small handling fee. Follow that school’s call letter.
What Happens After Selection?
- CBT result is published. Qualified candidates download the Provisional Eligibility Card from davrecruit.davcmc.in.
- Schools and zones advertise Phase 3 demo-interview dates in newspapers and on school sites.
- You apply or report to the school that has your post, as that advertisement directs.
- The demo class and interview are conducted by the school selection committee.
- Only those who clear both the demo and interview receive an employment offer.
- Joining, probation, and transfer conditions follow that school’s appointment letter. DAV schools often treat staff as transferable within the network. Confirm before you sign.
CBT does not create a waitlist appointment. A PEC without a school offer is not a job.

FAQs – DAV CMC Staff Recruitment 2026
What is the last date to apply for DAV Staff Recruitment 2026?
08 October 2026 for marking the form “FORM READY FOR VERIFICATION.” Verification itself continues till 16 October 2026. The fee is then due within 7 days of approval. No extension is announced on the portal as of 17 September 2026.
What is the age limit for DAV PGT TGT PRT posts?
Not printed on the Central CBT 2027-28 pages. The Verification Centre applies DAVCMC, state and CBSE norms for the chosen post. Wait for your zone newspaper advertisement before treating any old figure as final.
Is there an exam for DAV staff recruitment, or is it interview-based?
Yes. There is a national CBT in December 2026 after verification and fee payment. Qualified candidates get a PEC. Schools then hold demo-cum-interview. Employment is offered only after both the demo and interview are cleared.
What is the salary of a DAV PGT or TGT?
Not specified in the central notification. The appointing school fixes pay. Do not use a generic private-school chart as an official DAV figure. Read the school advertisement and the offer letter.
Can final-year students apply for DAV CBT 2027-28?
The central pages do not say that final-year students may apply. Verification checks completed eligibility as per state and DAVCMC norms. Safer to apply only if your certificates will satisfy the centre for the post you selected.
Is a DAV school job a permanent government job?
No. This is regular employment in schools managed by DAV College Managing Committee, not a central or state government cadre post. Pension, NPS and transfer rules follow the school appointment letter, not 7th CPC by default.
Can candidates from other states apply for DAV recruitment?
Yes. The CBT is all-India. The exam centre is allotted in the state you enter in the form. Individual schools may still prefer local language skills. There is no central domicile lock printed on the portal.
Where will I be posted if I get selected?
In the DAV school that selects you at Phase 3, anywhere the committee runs schools. First posting is not a candidate choice on the central portal. Many appointment letters treat staff as transferable within the DAV network.
Can I apply for PGT and TGT together in one form?
No. Duplicate applications are not accepted for CBT 2027-28. Each candidate must apply for one post only. The datesheet may put several papers on one day, so pick the post you can actually demo.
Is the December CBT pattern final?
No. The published 15+40 MCQ, 90-minute, no-negative-marking structure is last year’s pattern. The portal says 2027-28 may change and will be notified in November 2026.
What are the disadvantages of DAV CBT recruitment?
Worth knowing before you apply: vacancy counts and pay are not in one national PDF. You spend time and ₹300 on a screening test, then still need a school to call you. Compared with KVS, the process is longer to convert into a joining letter.
Do private school teachers need CTET for DAV posts?
The central CBT notice does not mandate CTET in a single line. Verification follows state, DAVCMC and CBSE norms. If your target school or state expects CTET/TET for that post, the centre can reject the form without it.
Is a CBSE school teacher job worth it compared with state TET posts?
It depends on what you want. State TET plus government school recruitment usually publishes roster, grade pay and domicile rules. DAV offers a large private-school network and one CBT for many schools, with pay set locally. Choose the system whose offer letter you can accept.
Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?
- You have read the 16–22 September 2026 newspaper ad for your target DAV zone.
- You will apply for one post only and can attend verification between 25 September and 16 October 2026.
- You can pay ₹300 within 7 days of approval.
- You accept that CBT plus PEC is not an appointment.
- You are willing to join the school that selects you and to check the transfer terms in the offer letter.
