Common questions

KVS FAQ

Is CTET compulsory for KVS teacher posts?

Yes — a valid CTET (or equivalent state TET) qualification is generally required for PRT and TGT posts in KVS recruitment.

Is KVS admission the same as KVS recruitment?

No — KVS online admission (for students, Class 1 and above) and KVS recruitment (for teachers/staff) are separate processes, each with their own notification and timeline.
