What the official advertisement says
Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya Sangathan has published an indicative advertisement for 815 posts of Principals and Teachers in Odisha Adarsha Vidyalayas and Odisha Mining Adarsha Vidyalayas. Online registration runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 November 2026, 5:00 PM, at oav.edu.in. No other mode is accepted.
That is everything the official advertisement gives. It does not list eligibility, age limits, fees, exam pattern or post-wise numbers.
What is not confirmed yet
Several websites have published eligibility rules, age limits, fees and an exam pattern for this recruitment. I checked them against the official advertisement, and they do not agree with each other. For example, they give different age ranges for Principal and PGT, and different fee amounts. None of these figures appears in the official document I could read. Treat them as unverified until the detailed notice is on oav.edu.in.
Once the detailed notice is out, check:
- The post-wise table, to see your subject and vacancy count.
- Eligibility for your post, including degree, percentage and B.Ed. rules.
- Age limit and relaxations, with the reference date.
- Fee, payment method and refund rules.
- The selection process, exam pattern, negative marking and final merit formula.

What to do this week
- Register early. The last two days usually bring a rush and slow servers. You can still register later if you are sure of the eligibility, but do not wait for the final day.
- Gather documents. Keep scans of your photograph, signature, marksheets, degree and B.Ed. certificate, and any category or disability certificate.
- Watch oav.edu.in. Check it daily for the detailed notice. Do not rely on forwarded messages.
- Build teaching skills. Work on English and Odia, general knowledge, reasoning and your subject. These are common to teacher exams, so the time is not wasted whatever the final pattern is.
Warnings
- Do not pay any agent or website that offers to fill the form.
- Do not accept any fee amount that is not printed in the official notice.
- A post on social media is not an official notice. Check the portal.
