PM SHRI JNV Panikoili PGT Recruitment 2026 – Apply Online for PGT Chemistry Post, Walk-in on 6 August

PM SHRI School Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Panikoili in Jajpur district, Odisha has issued Notification 04/2026 inviting applications for the engagement of a Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) in Chemistry on a contractual basis for the academic session 2026-27. The application window is extremely short — it opened on 3 August 2026 and closes on 5 August 2026 at 11:59:59 PM, with the walk-in interview scheduled for 6 August 2026 at 10:00 AM.

This is a contractual engagement rather than a permanent Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti appointment, which means the selection route is faster and the paperwork lighter — but it also means candidates need to move immediately. If you hold a Master’s degree in Chemistry with B.Ed. and can reach Jajpur by Thursday morning, this is worth acting on today.

PM SHRI JNV Panikoili PGT Recruitment 2026 – Overview

Educational Qualification for PGT Chemistry

The notification lays out four alternative routes to eligibility. A candidate needs to satisfy any one of them, plus the language requirement.

Essential Qualification

Route 1: An Integrated Post Graduate Course from an NCTE recognised institution in Chemistry or any specialisation in Chemistry, with at least 50% marks in aggregate including the B.Ed. component.

Route 2: A Master’s Degree from a recognised institution with at least 50% marks in aggregate in Chemistry or any specialisation in Chemistry, and a B.Ed. Degree from an NCTE recognised institute with at least 50% marks.

Route 3: A three-year integrated B.Ed./M.Ed. from an NCTE recognised institution with at least 50% marks.

Route 4: A four-year integrated degree with at least 50% marks from an NCTE recognised institution, including the B.Ed. component.

In addition to any of the above, the candidate must have proficiency in teaching in both Hindi and English medium. Navodaya Vidyalayas run a bilingual instruction model, so this is not a formality — it is assessed at interview.

Desirable Qualification

• Teaching experience in a similar capacity in a recognised school
• Experience of working in a residential school
• Knowledge of computer applications
• Knowledge of regional languages

Because JNV Panikoili is a fully residential school, the second point carries real weight. Candidates who have handled house duties, evening study supervision or hostel responsibilities elsewhere should make that explicit in their application and carry supporting certificates.

Age Limit

The upper age limit is 50 years as on 1 July 2026. This is noticeably more generous than the age ceiling for regular NVS teaching posts, which makes the vacancy realistic for experienced teachers and retired-cadre candidates who would be shut out of a standard PGT recruitment.

Salary

The monthly remuneration is a consolidated Rs 35,750. As a contractual engagement, this is a fixed monthly figure rather than a 7th CPC pay level with allowances layered on top. Candidates comparing this against regular PGT scales should factor that in.

How to Apply for PM SHRI JNV Panikoili PGT Recruitment 2026

1. Visit the dedicated application portal at app.jnvjajpur.com.
2. Register and complete the online application form for the PGT Chemistry post.
3. Upload the required documents supporting your qualification, age and experience claims.
4. Submit the form before 11:59:59 PM on 5 August 2026.
5. Attend the walk-in interview at the school on 6 August 2026 from 10:00 AM with original documents.

The notification is explicit that applications will be accepted only through this website. No other mode of application will be entertained, so emailed or hand-delivered forms will not be considered.

Important Dates

Interview Venue

The interview will be held at PM SHRI Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Panikoili, Jajpur, Odisha – 755043. Candidates should plan travel in advance given the one-day gap between the application deadline and the interview.

Points Candidates Often Miss

• Check your email, not your phone. The notification states clearly that candidates must check their email regularly for updates, and that no WhatsApp message or phone call will be made to any candidate. If you are waiting for a call, you will miss the update.
• The 50% threshold applies at every route. Whichever qualification path you use, the 50% aggregate requirement holds — including on the B.Ed. component where it is specified separately.
• The school reserves discretion. The Principal reserves the right to accept or reject any application without assigning a reason. Any dispute falls under the court jurisdiction of the school’s headquarters only.

Documents to Carry to the Interview

While the notification does not publish a document checklist, walk-in interviews of this type conventionally require originals plus self-attested photocopies of the following. Carry them to avoid being turned away:

• Matriculation certificate as proof of date of birth
• Master’s degree marksheets and certificate in Chemistry
• B.Ed. degree and marksheets
• Experience certificates, if claiming desirable qualifications
• Printout of the submitted online application
• Passport size photographs and a photo identity document
