Sainik School Sambalpur Recruitment 2026
Sainik School Sambalpur has announced 14 vacancies covering PGT, TGT and other staff posts on regular and contractual basis.
Advertisement No.: SSSBP/1006/MO/RECT/2026
The advertisement itself states that this is not a State or Central Government job.
The official advertisement gives 07 September 2026 as the last date for receipt of applications but does not state a closing clock time. This timer therefore uses 11:59:59 PM IST only as a convenience timer.
Important Recruitment Clarification
The school is under the aegis of the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, but the recruitment notice specifies that the vacancies are offered under the Sainik Schools Society framework.
Candidates should therefore distinguish this recruitment from ordinary UPSC, SSC, State PSC or Central Government departmental recruitment.
Vacancy Details
The official advertisement contains 14 vacancies across 13 post categories. The difference is because PGT Mathematics has two vacancies: one UR and one SC.
