The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has provided a crucial extension for job aspirants, pushing the application deadline for its latest recruitment drive. Candidates aiming for Group A, B, and C positions can now submit their online applications until December 27, 2025. This move grants applicants an additional five days beyond the original cutoff of December 22.
Vacancy Details and Post Categories
This recruitment initiative by the national education board seeks to fill a total of 124 vacancies across various departments and seniority levels. The open positions span administrative, academic, and support functions critical to the board's operations.
The roles are categorised into three groups:
- Group A: This includes senior positions such as Assistant Secretary, Assistant Professor, Assistant Director (for Academics, Training, and Skill Education), and Accounts Officer.
- Group B: This category features posts like Superintendent and Junior Translation Officer.
- Group C: This encompasses roles like Junior Accountant and Junior Assistant.
The opportunity is broad, welcoming applications from 12th pass candidates, graduates, and post-graduates who meet the specific skill and educational requirements for each post.
Step-by-Step Application Process
Interested and eligible candidates must apply exclusively through the CBSE's official online portal. The process is straightforward but requires attention to detail.
- Visit the official CBSE website at cbse.gov.in and navigate to the 'Recruitment' section.
- Complete the new user or applicant registration.
- Fill out the online application form meticulously with all required personal and educational details.
- Upload scanned copies of necessary documents, including educational certificates, a recent photograph, and a signature, in the prescribed format.
- Pay the application fee online, if applicable for the chosen post.
- Finally, submit the form and keep a printout of the confirmation for future reference.
A key point for ambitious candidates is that they can apply for multiple posts. However, a separate application and fee must be submitted for each position. The board will consider the Tier-I examination score for all posts a candidate has applied for.
Selection Procedure and Key Reminders
The CBSE recruitment selection will be a two-stage process designed to assess both knowledge and practical skills.
The first stage is a Tier-I Written Examination, which will be an objective-type test. This exam will evaluate candidates on general awareness, reasoning ability, quantitative aptitude, and knowledge specific to the role they are applying for.
Shortlisted candidates will then proceed to the Tier-II or Skill Test stage. For certain posts, such as Superintendent and Junior Assistant, this may involve typing speed tests or evaluations of computer proficiency.
The final selection will be based on the combined performance in both tiers, followed by a mandatory document verification process. Aspirants are strongly advised to regularly check the official CBSE website for any updates, admit card releases, or further notifications regarding the recruitment timeline.
With the extended deadline, prospective applicants now have a better window to prepare and complete their submissions for these coveted government jobs under one of India's premier educational bodies.
