HPRCA Teacher Recruitment 2026 – 2,423 Scheme-Based Teacher Posts in CBSE-Affiliated Government Schools of Himachal Pradesh

Read This First – Five Important Points

• Applications are NOT open yet. The notification came on 2 November 2026, and the online form opens on 10 November 2026 at 10:00 AM. A FreeJobAlert FAQ says it “opened” on 10 November, but today is 2 November.
• This is a temporary, scheme-based job for 5 years. It is not against any sanctioned post, and it gives no right to regularisation in the Education Department.
• The pay is a fixed honorarium, not a regular pay scale. It is paid for 10 months in an academic year.
• TET is compulsory for the posts. Read the post-wise rules about marks in graduation and in the subject.
• Fee reports differ. One website says Rs. 800 for all categories, one says there is no fee, and the source only says an examination and processing fee is paid online. Read the PDF.

Note: Reserved-category candidates from states other than Himachal Pradesh are treated as General (UR). They get no reservation or fee concession.

HPRCA Teacher Recruitment 2026 in Simple Words

The Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog, the state recruitment commission based at Hamirpur, will select 2,423 teachers for 15 subjects. The teachers will work in CBSE-affiliated Government schools of Himachal Pradesh, which some reports call Schools of Excellence.

These are not regular government posts. The teachers will be engaged under a scheme for 5 years and will get a fixed honorarium of Rs. 30,000 every month for 10 months in a school year. That means about Rs. 3,00,000 in one academic year (our calculation). It is a good chance for qualified candidates with TET to get teaching experience in the state, but you should understand the conditions before you apply.

The selection is only through a written screening test and document verification. There is no interview mentioned. The test can be computer based (CBT), or OMR based when the number of candidates is small.

Every post needs a Master’s degree in the subject, a B.Ed. and a pass in TET. The details are different for different posts. The exact rules are below, as given in the source report. For the remaining posts, please read the official notification.

• TET must be passed. It should be the TET conducted by the HP Board of School Education, Dharamshala (District Kangra), or by any other agency authorised by the Government.
• You must be registered on the One Time Registration (OTR) portal before you fill the application form (ORA).
• Candidates are admitted provisionally. Eligibility is checked again at document verification.

Age Limit, Honorarium and Terms of Engagement

• The honorarium is fixed. It is not a regular pay scale with allowances and increments.
• Think carefully about the 5-year, scheme-based nature before you apply.

Selection Process – Step by Step

1. Step 1 – Written screening test: Computer Based Test (CBT). OMR based test may be used where the number of candidates is limited.
2. Step 2 – Document verification: Candidates shortlisted for verification are checked for eligibility.
3. Step 3 – Recommendation and waiting panel: Candidates are recommended on merit. A category-wise waiting list is valid for one year from the date of sending the recommendation.
4. Step 4 – Option and allocation: Where applicable, candidates give their preferences of departments or districts in writing at document verification. Allocation is on Merit-cum-Option-cum-Availability of Post.

• Minimum qualifying marks: 45% for General and 40% for SC / ST / OBC / Wards of Freedom Fighters.
• The commission can relax the qualifying percentage by up to 5% (to 40% General and 35% SC / ST / OBC / WFF) if the qualifiers are fewer than the posts.
• If the CBT is held in more than one shift, scores are normalised with the Z-Score method (Mean and Standard Deviation method).
• One website reports that the CBT carries 120 marks. This is not in the source. Please confirm it in the notification.
