Salary – What the Notification Declares

The notification declares consolidated pay of ₹57,120 per month for PGT (Physics) and ₹53,880 per month for the TGT posts, while the Quarter Master post carries pay of ₹29,200. Interestingly, the contractual teaching posts pay more per month than the starting figure of the only regular post — but the Quarter Master job is permanent, which the teaching contracts are not. Weigh both facts before deciding which post to target.

Age Limit (as on 12 November 2026)

• PGT and TGT posts: 21 to 50 years
• All other posts (Quarter Master, Band Master, PTI Cum Matron, Mess Manager, LDC, Ward Boy, Office Superintendent, System Administrator, Horse Riding Instructor): 18 to 50 years

Age is counted as on the last date of application, 12 November 2026 — not the advertisement date.

Two Traps Hidden in This Notification

Trap 1 – The TGT (Mathematics) subject rule. It is not enough to “have Maths in graduation”. You must have studied Mathematics as an elective/main subject for at least 3 years / 6 semesters, Physics for at least 1 year / 2 semesters, and one of Chemistry, Electronics, Computer Science or Statistics for at least 1 year / 2 semesters. And note the counter-intuitive line: candidates with B.Sc (Hons) in Physics or Chemistry are expressly NOT eligible for TGT Maths. For TGT (Social Science), you need any two of History, Geography, Economics and Political Science, one of which must be History or Geography studied for at least 3 years / 6 semesters and the second for at least 1 year / 2 semesters. For both TGT posts, CTET or STET qualification is compulsory — a B.Ed. alone will not do.

Trap 2 – “Contractual” here has two grades. Nine posts are contractual for 11 months extendable up to 3 years. But Office Superintendent, System Administrator and Horse Riding Instructor are marked “only 11 months” — the notification offers no extension for them. If job continuity matters to you, factor this in before choosing.

Selection Process

Only shortlisted candidates who meet the eligibility criteria will be called for the written test. The stages are:

Stage	Details
Written Test	1-hour paper: General Knowledge, General English, Basic Mathematics and a Subject Test of appropriate level. Qualifying marks are decided by the Board of Officers
Skill Test / Class Demonstration	For candidates who qualify the written test
Interview	Final stage; selection is based on performance across the stages

The date of the written test / interview will be intimated only through e-mail. Write your e-mail ID and mobile number on the form with extra care — a wrong e-mail address means you may never receive the call, and the school will not chase you for it.

Application Fee – Demand Draft Only

Category	Fee
General	₹300
SC / ST / OBC	₹200

The fee is non-refundable and is payable only through a Demand Draft drawn in favour of “Principal, Sainik School, Goalpara”, payable at State Bank of India, Mornai (Code No. 9148). There is no online payment option — get the payee name and branch exactly right, because a DD with a wrong name is as good as no fee at all. Enclose the original DD with the application.

5 Mistakes That Can Sink Your Application

1. Applying for TGT Maths with a B.Sc (Hons) in Physics or Chemistry – the notification bars these degrees for this post, however strong your marks are.
2. Ignoring the semester-wise subject combination – for TGT posts, the subjects you studied and for how many semesters are part of eligibility, not a detail.
3. Applying without CTET/STET for a TGT post – B.Ed. alone is not sufficient.
4. A wrongly drawn Demand Draft – the payee must be “Principal, Sainik School, Goalpara” and it must be payable at SBI, Mornai (Code 9148). Fee mistakes are not corrected later.
5. A wrong or inactive e-mail ID – test and interview dates come only by e-mail; miss the mail and you miss the recruitment.
