Here’s something you don’t see in every sarkari vacancy notice: a single, all-India recruitment that covers teaching and non-teaching jobs across hundreds of DAV schools. The DAV College Managing Committee (DAVCMC) has opened the DAV Staff Recruitment 2026 — a Centralised Computer Based Test (CBT) for the academic session 2027-28. Nursery, PRT, TGT and PGT teachers, counsellors, plus LDCs, UDCs, lab assistants, librarians, receptionists and nurses — all through one portal, davrecruit.davcmc.in. But the application process is NOT a simple “fill form and submit”. There is a two-step flow with a hard 11 October 2026 deadline, and missing the first step can lock you out even before the last date. Read this carefully before you apply.

DAV Staff Recruitment 2026 — Key Highlights

Two Deadlines, Not One — Don’t Confuse Them

This is where most candidates slip. The official timeline lists two separate cut-offs for the form, and they are not the same thing:

Which Posts Are Covered?

The notification covers a wide range. But note DAVCMC’s own warning: not every post will be vacant in every school or zone. Check the individual school/zone newspaper advertisements (published 16–22 September 2026) for the actual vacancies near you.

Teaching posts: Nursery/Pre-Primary Teacher (female candidates only), Counsellor/Wellness Teacher, PRT (English, Hindi, Sanskrit, Maths, Science, Social Science, Computer Science, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Odia, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Music, Dance, Painting/Art & Craft, Library Grade II, Physical Education), TGT (same broad subject list, Library Grade I), and PGT (English, Hindi, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, History, Political Science, Economics, Commerce, Computer Science, Psychology, Home Science, Sociology, Physical Education, Bengali).

Ministerial / non-teaching posts: LDC (Accounts), LDC (Administration), UDC, Assistant, Front Office Assistant/Receptionist, Library Assistant, Lab Assistant (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer), and Nurse.

Eligibility, Qualification, Age — What the Notification Does and Doesn’t Say

Be honest with yourself here: the notification does not spell out post-wise eligibility, qualification, age limit or pay scale. DAVCMC directs candidates to the specific school/zone advertisements for these details. What is confirmed:

• One post per candidate. You may apply for only one post — duplicate applications are not accepted, so pick carefully.
• The exam-centre restriction. You cannot appear in the CBT from an exam centre (school) where you, your spouse or your relative is currently working.
• Your own contact details only. The form needs your registered mobile number and personal email — the same ones get used later for verification, admit card download and the Provisional Eligibility Card. Use an OTP-accessible number you control.

For post-wise qualification (B.Ed requirements, subject combinations, experience), age limits and salary: check the newspaper advertisement of the school/zone you want to apply for. If a detail can’t be confirmed there, check the official notification — don’t go by forwarded messages.

Selection Process: CBT First, School Interview Later

Selection happens in stages, and clearing the CBT alone does not mean you’re hired:

• Phase 1: Online registration → document verification at a DAV centre → Rs. 300 fee payment (within 7 days of approval).
• Phase 2: Centralised CBT across India (December 2026, per the datesheet prepared by DAVCMC). Qualifiers receive a Provisional Eligibility Card (PEC) — this card is what makes you eligible for the next stage.
• Phase 3 (post-CBT): Demo class + interview, conducted separately by individual DAV schools as and when they advertise. Only candidates who clear both are offered employment. Note: schools may charge a nominal handling fee at this stage.

DAV CBT Exam Pattern (2027-28 Session)

The CBT is a 90-minute computer-based exam with two papers back-to-back in the same slot. Important: the pattern below is from the last year‘s notification — DAVCMC says the 2027-28 pattern may change and will be notified in November 2026. Prepare from it as a guide, not gospel.

There is no negative marking. Shift timings (reporting / entry / exam): Morning 7:30 am / 7:45–8:15 am / 8:30–10:00 am; Afternoon 10:30 am / 10:45–11:15 am / 11:30 am–1:00 pm; Evening 1:30 pm / 1:45–2:15 pm / 2:30–4:00 pm. The datesheet is condensed, so multiple exams can fall on the same day or slot — exam centre preference is allotted on a first-come-first-served basis, so choose early.

How to Apply — Step by Step

1. Check the newspaper advertisements (16–22 September 2026) for vacant posts in the schools/zones near you.
2. Go to the official portal davrecruit.davcmc.in and fill the online CBT Registration Form.
3. Submit it as “Form Ready for Verification” — at this stage the form is still editable.
4. Print the form and take it, with your original testimonials, to the nearest DAV Verification Centre (25 September to 16 October 2026).
5. Once the centre marks it “Verified and Approved for Payment”, the form locks.
6. Pay the Rs. 300 CBT fee online within 7 days of approval, only on the DAV recruitment website.
7. When the datesheet comes out (November 2026), choose your exam centre preference and download your admit card.
8. Appear for the CBT as per your assigned date, shift and centre (December 2026).

Documents to Carry on CBT Day

Entry is strict — you will not be allowed in without all of these:

• Printed/hard copy of the admit card
• One recent, coloured passport-size photograph
• Original government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar/E-Aadhaar, PAN card, driving licence, voter ID, passport) with the same name and photo as on the admit card

Prohibited inside the exam centre: stationery (printed material, calculators, pen drives, log tables), communication devices (mobile phone, smartwatch, Bluetooth devices, earphones, camera), wallets, goggles, handbags, and food items (opened or packed, except for diabetic candidates).
