NVS Counsellors Recruitment 2026 for Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas

This role is ideal for qualified Psychology post-graduates with a diploma in guidance & counselling and at least one year of experience in a school or educational institute. Candidates seeking a contractual position within a Central Government autonomous body, particularly those with a passion for adolescent education and behavioural support in residential school settings, will find this opportunity suitable. Strong communication and computer skills, along with subject knowledge, are crucial for selection.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contract-based position for one academic session. Those without the required Master's degree in Psychology or a one-year diploma in guidance & counselling, or lacking the minimum one year of relevant experience, will not meet the essential eligibility criteria. Candidates exceeding 50 years of age as of June 1, 2026, or below 28 years, are also ineligible.

Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti is a well-regarded autonomous organization under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, known for its residential co-educational schools. While this is a contractual engagement, it offers valuable experience within a central government framework and a structured environment. The role contributes significantly to student well-being, providing a platform for professional growth in the field of counselling within a prestigious educational network. Future opportunities within NVS or similar institutions could benefit from this experience.
