A Class 10 pass is enough for the LDC post and both Ward Boy posts among the 13 jobs Sainik School Goalpara is filling, and your application has to reach the school at Rajapara by 12 November 2026. That is a date of receipt, by post or by hand, so leave several days for the post if you live far from Goalpara.

Age 18 to 50 on 12 November 2026
The upper limit is 50 for every post. The lower limit is 21 for the three teachers and 18 for the rest, all counted on 12 November 2026. For the non-teaching posts, anyone born between 13 November 1976 and 12 November 2008 is inside the limit. Teachers must also be born on or before 12 November 2005. Close to either edge? Check with the age calculator.
Rules That Knock People Out
A B.Sc (Hons) in Physics or Chemistry does not qualify you for TGT Mathematics, even with a B.Ed. You need Mathematics through all three years, Physics for at least one, and one of Chemistry, Electronics, Computer Science or Statistics for at least one.
Both TGT posts need a CTET or STET pass. For PGT Physics it is only desirable.
The reserved posts need the right certificate attached to the form. If you are applying for the EWS-reserved LDC post, see our guide to getting an EWS certificate in Assam. For the ST and OBC posts, see the caste certificate guide.
A One-Hour Written Test First
Shortlisted applicants sit a one-hour written test on general knowledge, general English, basic mathematics and the subject of the post. Those who clear it go on to a class demonstration or skill test and an interview. Dates will be sent by email. No TA/DA is paid, and the notice asks you to be ready to stay an extra day at your own arrangement.
I opened the school’s Vacancy page on 14 October. It carries only this one advertisement and no corrigendum. The application form is not a separate download. It is pages 10 to 13 of the same PDF, so print those four pages, fill them in, and write “APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF” followed by the post name and “(REGULAR)” or “(CONTRACTUAL)” on the envelope.
For other openings across the state, see the latest job posts.

FAQs on Sainik School Goalpara Recruitment 2026
Can I apply for two posts?
The notice does not say. Each envelope has to name one post, so if you try for two, send two complete applications, each with its own DD.
Do I need to be from Assam?
No. The school invites Indian citizens. Only the PTI-cum-Matron post asks you to speak and understand Assamese.
What is the postal address?
The Principal, Sainik School Goalpara, PO Rajapara, District Goalpara, Assam 783133.
Checked against the Sainik School Goalpara advertisement (Advt. No. SSG/03/2026, dated 3 October 2026) and the school’s Vacancy page on 14 October 2026.
