Gujarat to recruit over 11,000 primary teachers: application process from April 15

The Gujarat government has announced a large-scale recruitment drive to fill over 11,000 vacancies for primary teachers across the state. The hiring will be conducted for Classes 1 to 5 in government schools, with the application process scheduled to begin on April 15.

Officials said eligible candidates will be able to submit their applications online until April 24. The recruitment will be based on merit and eligibility criteria, including qualification in the Teacher Eligibility Test, which remains mandatory for primary teaching positions.

Recruitment drive aimed at addressing teacher shortages in primary schools

The move is part of the state’s efforts to strengthen the primary education system and address existing gaps in teacher availability, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Authorities expect the recruitment to improve student-teacher ratios and enhance classroom learning outcomes.

Candidates have been advised to review the official notification carefully for details regarding eligibility, reservation norms and the selection process. Further updates, including merit lists and appointment procedures, are expected to be released after the application window closes.
