Recruitment-specific overview from the published record.
Three ad-hoc opportunities at Sainik School Purulia, West Bengal: one TGT (Social Science), one TGT (Hindi) and one Art Master. The school calls candidates for a walk-in interview at 8:30 AM on Monday, 23 November 2026, at its Purulia campus. There is no stated advance online registration or postal application deadline: bring the application, bio-data, original certificates and attested copies of certificates and marksheets to the school. The school does not promise reimbursement of travel expenses.
This is not a single generic teacher vacancy. The two TGT appointments require substantially different subject combinations, while the Art Master post accepts an arts-degree or five-year recognised diploma route. All are expressly ad hoc, with monthly consolidated remuneration rather than a regular government pay level. The original one-page advertisement does not print an issue date, advertisement reference number, contract length or written-test pattern. The event date and age-reference date are explicitly given, and must not be mistaken for an issue date.

The recruitment includes two subject-teaching vacancies and one visual-arts vacancy. This division is important when preparing subject evidence and teaching examples; it is not an official category-wise reservation chart.
🥧 Vacancy share: two TGT teachers and one Art Master
| Position group | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Trained Graduate Teachers (Social Science and Hindi) | 2 |
| Art Master | 1 |
For the Art Master vacancy, the school explicitly prints UR. The TGT entries do not list vertical reservation categories, so treating both as officially notified UR posts would be inaccurate. One seat against each post is the official total of three.
📊 Advertised monthly consolidated salary by post
| Advertised post | Monthly salary (INR) |

The TGT appointments carry ₹4,000 more per month than Art Master, a difference of about 19.05% when measured against the Art Master amount. These are monthly consolidated figures. Do not treat them as a 7th CPC matrix, grade-pay band, or guaranteed take-home after deductions. The one-page notice does not give separate HRA, DA, accommodation allowance, increments or regular-service pension benefits. For a candidate choosing between roles, the more important distinction is eligible subject combination, not merely the ₹4,000 pay difference.
The school offers one TGT (Social Science) ad-hoc vacancy at ₹25,000 consolidated per month. Its first essential route is graduation with both History and Political Science as the two subjects, together with B.Ed from a recognised university/institute. The second printed route is B.A. B.Ed with Social Science (History and Political Science) from a Regional College of Education.
The paired-subject requirement matters. A general graduate who has studied only one of History or Political Science cannot assume eligibility merely because the degree is broadly classified as humanities. A B.A. qualification in an unrelated specialisation with an ordinary B.Ed must likewise not be presented as automatically sufficient. The printed integrated route is specific: it names History and Political Science within Social Science and the Regional College of Education.
The school describes three desirable, not compulsory, qualities: previous teaching in an English-medium residential school, knowledge of computer applications, and 50% or higher marks in both graduation and B.Ed. The marks preference must not be converted into a compulsory academic cut-off. An applicant should still state actual marks clearly and bring original transcripts. The notice does not separately require CTET/TET, a minimum number of years' teaching, or a specific degree percentage as an essential eligibility gate.
Sainik School Purulia follows the CBSE pattern, teaching students in a residential environment where intellectual readiness, discipline, sports and co-curricular activities intersect. The school's published academic information confirms CBSE affiliation and NCERT-oriented instruction; this is institutional background, not an additional 2026 recruitment rule. The TGT Social Science teacher should therefore be able to turn History and Civics into intelligible classroom learning, bring accurate sources to a lesson and assess whether students understand the distinction between facts, opinions, cause and consequence. Describe experience you genuinely have; the notice gives preference for residential-school teaching but does not insist on it.
For preparation, practise a concise sample explanation of an Indian history topic and a civics topic with a specific learning objective, an original historical or constitutional source, and two ways of checking comprehension. The school has not notified a compulsory demonstration round. These are useful interview preparation exercises, not an official question list.
There is one TGT (Hindi) ad-hoc post, also paid ₹25,000 consolidated monthly. The first route is a bachelor's degree with Hindi studied as an elective/main subject for at least three years (six semesters), plus B.Ed from a recognised university or institute. The notice also admits a four-year integrated degree from an NCTE-recognised institution with the required subject combination. That is an alternative teacher-education route; it does not remove the stated Hindi subject fit.
A casual statement such as “knows Hindi” or “passed Hindi at school” is different from the advertised undergraduate Hindi-main/elective study. Applicants should have marksheets showing the semesters and subject. In the integrated-degree route, the marksheets and university documents should demonstrate the relevant subject combination. The school has not given a list of unrelated degrees that it will treat as automatically equivalent.
Desirable: English-medium residential school teaching experience, working knowledge of computer applications, and a minimum of 50% marks at graduation and in B.Ed. Once again, these sit in the desirable column; no separate essential teaching-service duration or CTET/TET requirement is stated in this November notice.
A strong candidate can discuss reading comprehension, writing clarity, pronunciation and expressive use of Hindi, not only literary facts. Plan how to teach a short poem or prose passage to mixed-ability students, explain grammar in context rather than isolated memorisation, correct an essay without discouraging the writer, and connect a Hindi language lesson to wider reading habits. Because the school is a residential CBSE institution, think about how students can practise speaking and reading beyond a scheduled lesson while staying attentive to different home languages. This is role-based preparation, not a published test syllabus.
The Art Master role is one UR vacancy with ₹21,000 consolidated monthly remuneration. Its essential qualification provides three alternatives: B. Fine Arts, a five-year recognised diploma in Drawing and Painting / Sculpture / Graphic Art, or an equivalent degree from a recognised university. A short hobby course, an unrecognised certificate or a general degree with a small art component should not be assumed equivalent to these routes. The five-year period matters specifically for the diploma option as written.
The school's desirable column gives weight to previous teaching in an English-medium residential school and proficiency in Games & Sports, NCC and co-curricular activities such as music, dance or drama. These are desirable qualities, not additional degrees every applicant must possess. The advertisement does not assign a minimum number of years of teaching experience, a portfolio score, a practical-drawing paper, or a compulsory art demonstration.
Prepare a concise record of your actual work: painting, drawing, illustration, sculpture, graphic composition or other work directly covered by the qualification. An accurately labelled portfolio can help explain methods and teaching choices; the notice does not make a portfolio a formally required document. Be ready to discuss fundamentals such as line, value, colour, perspective, form and safe materials handling, and how you would teach them to adolescents with different levels of practice. A Sainik School often places art alongside assemblies, exhibitions and co-curricular activity; discussing participation in this setting is useful as long as it is presented as a possible teaching contribution, not an invented contractual duty.
The lower and upper ages are 21 and 35 years, measured on 1 November 2026. Unlike educational marks or desirable teaching background, the age interval is stated as an eligibility criterion for each role. The notice does not set out a category-wise age-relaxation table. Candidates should not import relaxation figures from a different Sainik School advertisement or assume that the Art Master UR designation supplies an extra age benefit.
Age and category details should be supported by originals where relevant. The printed ad-hoc vacancies do not say that a reserved-category candidate cannot apply against an unreserved post; Art Master's UR label identifies the seat, not a special exclusion rule in the notice.
The school's notice calls applicants to Sainik School Purulia at 8:30 AM on 23 November 2026, with their application, bio-data, original certificates and attested copies of certificates and marksheets. It does not prescribe a separate registration site, advance email, fee-transfer process, demand draft, or postal application for this particular walk-in. Do not treat an older Sainik School notice that asked for postal applications or payment as this recruitment's rule.
Write the name of the exact post at the top of the application, supply current phone/address information and lay out education chronologically so that the required subject combination is easy to check. For Social Science, identify History and Political Science clearly; for Hindi, show the semesters/years of Hindi; for Art Master, include the degree or full-duration diploma evidence. Carry originals for inspection and the attested copies actually requested. It is sensible to have a concise updated bio-data showing teaching or art experience where available, but extra samples of work are not substitutes for the essential qualification certificate.
The school states no TA/DA will be paid. It reserves the right to cancel a vacancy for administrative or policy reasons. A vacancy advertised on an ad-hoc basis is not a promise of regularisation or of a particular fixed contract period; the current one-page notice does not publish an end date or tenure.

For subject teachers, prepare to explain how you diagnose prior learning, choose an age-appropriate example, check achievement and support students needing more practice. For Art Master, be ready to discuss authentic work, visual communication and constructive feedback. Avoid claiming a question paper or practical evaluation is scheduled: this official notice describes a walk-in interview only.
Sainik School Purulia is a CBSE-affiliated residential school established in 1962 and operating within the Sainik Schools Society framework under the Ministry of Defence. Its official public materials emphasise academic development, disciplined living, athletics and co-curricular activity. For these three school employment vacancies, the employing body is the school—not the Army, Navy or Air Force. The posts do not grant an armed-forces commission. Applicants can prepare teaching and student-welfare examples relevant to a residential campus while keeping the formal eligibility tests strictly tied to the one-page vacancy notice.
Is B.Ed enough for TGT Social Science without the two subjects? No. The first route pairs a graduate degree covering History and Political Science with B.Ed; the integrated route is also subject-specific.
Does any Hindi graduate qualify for TGT Hindi? The school specifies Hindi as a main/elective subject for at least three years/six semesters under the regular-degree route, with B.Ed. An appropriate NCTE-recognised integrated qualification is the printed alternative.
Is five years of teaching experience necessary? No compulsory minimum teaching-service period appears in this walk-in notice. The five years mentioned for Art Master concern one diploma qualification route, not a job-experience threshold.
Is CTET/TET a compulsory 2026 condition? The one-page November notice does not state it. Do not carry forward a different year's Sainik School eligibility list as a condition of this vacancy.
Can I apply before 23 November online? The specific notice directs candidates to attend a walk-in with application and papers, and provides no online portal.
Is Art Master open to all reservation categories? It is specifically marked UR. The notice does not reproduce a full category-wise selection rule or age relaxation for applicants.
How much is the application fee? No fee is stated. That is different from a formal declaration of “fee ₹0.”
Will there be a written exam? No written exam is scheduled in this notice; the announced selection event is the walk-in interview.
Is there a travel allowance? No. The school expressly says TA/DA will not be paid.
What if the school changes or cancels a vacancy? The advertisement reserves the school's right to cancel for administrative/policy reasons. Consult the school recruitment page before setting out for Purulia.
The vacancies, qualifications, age and reporting details above come from the school's one-page walk-in advertisement. Institutional context comes from the school's official public pages; it does not change any essential recruitment condition.
