Army Public School Bareilly Recruitment 2026: LDC, Head Clerk and Accountant Clerk Posts, Graduate Pass, Offline Form, Last Date 7 November

Army Public School, Bareilly, has invited applications from Indian citizens for contractual administrative posts — Lower Division Clerk (LDC), Head Clerk and Accountant Clerk. Men and women can both apply, the qualification starts at graduation, and the form has to reach the school by post on or before 7 November 2026.

This is a short, sharp recruitment, and it is easy to get wrong in three places: the number of vacancies is not stated, the salary is not stated as an amount, and the qualifications for LDC and Head Clerk look identical at first glance. This article sticks to what the advertisement actually says, and flags clearly what it does not say, so you do not apply on the basis of a guess.

The advertisement also says that the department’s advertised notice will be treated as correct in case of any error, and that the notice is for applicants’ information only, not for official use. In plain terms: if another website gives you a different salary, vacancy number or experience rule, do not treat it as settled until you have checked it with the school.

Post-Wise Eligibility: Read Each Row Separately

Post	Age	Salary	Qualification as Stated in the Advertisement
Lower Division Clerk (LDC)	18–40	As per rules	Graduate pass, with knowledge of computer and accounts work, OR ex-serviceman with 10 years of work experience
Accountant Clerk	18–40	As per rules	B.Com, with a 1-year computer diploma, and knowledge of English, Tally and Excel
Head Clerk	18–40	As per rules	Graduate pass, with knowledge of computer and accounts work, OR ex-serviceman with 10 years of work experience

For ex-servicemen, the maximum age is 55 years, as stated in the advertisement.

Why LDC and Head Clerk Are Not a Copy-Paste Mistake

The first thing most readers will notice is that LDC and Head Clerk carry exactly the same qualification in the advertisement: graduation plus computer and accounts knowledge, or ex-serviceman status with 10 years of experience.

Do not assume that means the two posts are interchangeable, and do not assume the Head Clerk post must secretly need more experience. The advertisement does not add an extra experience condition for Head Clerk, and it does not give a different salary for either post. What it does do is list them as separate posts, with separate application consideration. Apply for the post you actually want, write that post name on the envelope, and do not send one form hoping it will be counted for both. If you are eligible for both and want to apply for both, the safe reading of the advertisement is to treat each post as a separate application — and to check with the school office if you are in any doubt, because the advertisement does not spell out a combined-application rule.

The Accountant Clerk Post Is the Odd One Out

Accountant Clerk is the only post with a subject-specific degree and a software list. It needs B.Com, a 1-year computer diploma, and knowledge of English, Tally and Excel. A general graduate without B.Com does not meet this row, even if they know Tally well. Conversely, a B.Com graduate who has never used Tally or Excel should not assume the diploma alone is enough — the advertisement lists all three: B.Com, the diploma, and English, Tally and Excel knowledge.

This is also the post where outside summaries are most likely to mislead you. Some portals add experience conditions for this post that do not appear in the advertisement excerpt. This article does not add them. Go by the advertisement row above, and confirm any extra condition with the school before you spend the draft fee.

Age Limit: 18 to 40, With One Ex-Serviceman Exception

Age is counted as on 1 April 2026. For civilian candidates, the age band for all three posts is 18 to 40 years. For ex-servicemen, the advertisement states a maximum age of 55 years.

That ex-serviceman route matters twice here. First, it raises the age ceiling. Second, for LDC and Head Clerk, it offers an alternative qualification route: 10 years of work experience as an ex-serviceman, in place of the graduate-plus-computer-and-accounts route. It does not waive the need to prove that service and experience with documents — the ex-serviceman certificate is explicitly listed among the documents to attach.

The advertisement does not give an age-relaxation table for other categories in the excerpt, even though it says candidates of any category can apply for these posts. Do not invent a relaxation. If you are relying on one, check the school notice first.

Salary and Vacancies: What Is Not Stated

Two blanks in this advertisement deserve a straight answer, because most job articles fill them with guesses:

• Vacancies: The advertisement lists three post names, but it does not give a vacancy number for any of them. This article therefore does not say “3 posts” as a total. There are three post types. How many seats are behind each name is not stated here.
• Salary: The salary column says “as per rules” for all three posts. No monthly amount is given. Any website quoting a fixed salary for these posts is not quoting this advertisement.

Both points matter for the draft fee as well. You are paying Rs. 250 by bank draft for a contractual post whose pay and seat count are not stated in the excerpt. That is not a reason to skip the opportunity — Army Public School administrative posts are genuinely sought after — but it is a reason to confirm the pay and tenure with the school office before you apply, rather than budgeting on a number you read elsewhere.

Application Fee: The Rs. 250 Draft, and What to Write on Its Back

The fee is Rs. 250, payable only by bank draft. The draft must be drawn in favour of Army Public School Bareilly, payable at Bareilly.

Write the following on the back of the draft, without fail:

• The name of the post
• Your own name
• Your address
• Your mobile number

A draft without these details is a classic rejection trap. The school cannot easily match an unnamed draft to an unnamed form, and the advertisement makes this writing-on-the-back a specific instruction, not a suggestion. Get the draft made early — banks take time, and a draft made on the last day leaves no margin if anything goes wrong.

How to Apply: By Post, in Capital Letters, With No Cutting

There is no online form in the advertisement excerpt. Follow these steps:

1. Fill the prescribed application form. Fill every column clearly, in capital English letters.
2. Do not cut anything out or overwrite anything on the form.
3. On the envelope, write “Application for the post of …” followed by the post name and category, as the advertisement instructs.
4. Attach self-attested photocopies of all required documents. Do not send original documents.
5. Keep the instructions with you. Do not enclose the instructions with the application.
6. Send the form by post so that it reaches the address below on or before 7 November 2026.
7. Keep your post receipt and a copy of the draft details safe.

Send the application to:

Principal, Army Public School,
Civil Lines, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh – 243001

The form must reach by 7 November 2026. As with any postal application, “posted before the last date” is not the same as “reached by the last date.” Post with enough time for delivery, especially if you are sending from outside Bareilly.

Documents to Attach

Attach self-attested photocopies of the following. Do not send originals:

• Certificates of all educational and professional qualifications
• A certificate or other proof for date of birth
• Caste certificate copy, if you belong to a reserved category
• Ex-serviceman certificate copy, if you are an ex-serviceman
• The Rs. 250 bank draft, with post name, your name, address and mobile number written on its back
• Experience certificate copy, if experience is required for the post
• One extra passport-size photograph

Note the last item carefully: one extra passport-size photograph, in addition to whatever photograph goes on the form itself. It is a small detail, and it is exactly the kind of detail that gets missed in a hurry.

Selection: Interview and Skill Test, Only for Shortlisted Candidates

The advertisement states that selection will involve an interview and a skill test. Two conditions go with that, and both are worth planning for:

• You will have to attend the interview and skill test at your own risk and expense. No TA or DA will be paid to any applicant.
• Only shortlisted applicants will be informed about the interview or test, by mobile or email.

That second point is crucial. There is no general call letter list to wait for in the advertisement excerpt. If your mobile number or email address on the form is wrong, or if you miss a message, you may never know you were shortlisted. Write your mobile number clearly — in capital letters, as the form requires — and check both your phone and email regularly after 7 November.

The advertisement does not give a skill-test syllabus, an interview date, or a written-exam stage. Do not prepare on the basis of a syllabus from another school’s recruitment. For a clerk post, the practical expectation is computer and accounts work, as the qualifications themselves suggest, but the advertisement does not spell out a test pattern here.

Mistakes That Get Forms Rejected

Each of these comes from the advertisement’s own conditions:

• Writing in small letters or unclear handwriting. The form must be filled in clear capital English letters.
• Cutting or overwriting. A corrected form invites doubt, and the advertisement forbids it outright.
• Forgetting the post name on the envelope. With three clerk posts in one school, an envelope without a post name is ambiguous.
• Sending a draft without your details on the back. Post name, name, address and mobile number — all four.
• Sending originals instead of self-attested copies. Originals are not to be sent.
• Enclosing the instructions with the form. Keep them with you.
• Posting too late. The form must reach Bareilly by 7 November 2026, not merely be posted by then.
• Assuming a vacancy number or salary from another website. Neither is stated in this advertisement. Confirm with the school.

Who Should Apply, and Who Should Pause

Apply with confidence if you are a graduate with genuine computer and accounts working knowledge, or an ex-serviceman with 10 years of experience looking for a school administrative role, or a B.Com graduate with a computer diploma and working Tally and Excel knowledge for the Accountant Clerk post.

Pause and check first if you are relying on a salary figure, a vacancy count, or an experience rule that you read on another portal but cannot find in this advertisement. Pause also if you cannot arrange the Rs. 250 draft in favour of Army Public School Bareilly, payable at Bareilly, in time — a personal cheque or cash payment is not the method stated here.

This is a contractual recruitment in a private unaided school setting, as outside summaries describe it, and the advertisement itself calls it a contractual recruitment. If you are looking for a permanent government post, this is not that. If you are looking for administrative experience in a reputed school, with clerk-level work in accounts and office management, it is a genuine opportunity — provided you apply exactly as the advertisement asks.
