How the Selection Actually Works

This isn’t a simple apply-and-wait process – it runs in three distinct steps, so plan for all of them:

1. Step 1 – “Form Ready for Verification”: Log in and fill the online CBT form by 8 October 2026. This is a partial submission, subject to verification of your testimonials.
2. Step 2 – “Verified and Approved for Payment”: Print your form and carry it, with all your original testimonials, to your nearest designated DAV School / Verification Centre by 16 November 2026. This step is mandatory – without it, the payment portal won’t even activate for you.
3. Step 3 – “CBT Fee”: Once Step 2 clears, you have 7 days to pay the exam fee online through the DAV recruitment portal.

Only after all three steps are done is your application actually complete. Miss the verification window and your application effectively stalls.

What Happens After the CBT

The DAV-CBT itself is held in December 2026 at various DAV Schools. Candidates who clear it get a Provisional Eligibility Card (PEC), which lets you apply to any DAV School across the country for a demo-interview – the final round, advertised separately in newspapers, and held at the Regional Directorate level in your subject. A handling fee of Rs 500 is collected at the regional level from PEC holders before this demo-interview.

Rules Worth Knowing

• You can apply for only 1 post, and must use your own Registered Mobile Number (RMN) for the online form.
• Selected candidates get posted anywhere in Odisha’s DAV Public Schools based on actual vacancies, and their service is transferable to any DAV School in the country.

Why This Recruitment Matters

DAV Institutions run one of India’s largest chains of schools, and Odisha’s centralized CBT-based hiring model gives teachers a single, standardized entry point into that network rather than applying separately to each school. For candidates who clear the CBT but don’t get placed immediately, the Provisional Eligibility Card keeps the door open for demo-interviews at any DAV School nationwide, not just in Odisha.
