JSSC Para Teacher JTAACCE Recruitment 2026: Apply Online for 7,299 Posts

Category-wise Vacancies

The cover of Advertisement No. 04/2026 reads JTAACCE-2026 (Para Teacher) (Regular Vacancy) / नियमित भर्ती. Pay is Level-4 and Level-5 of the pay matrix, not an honorarium. Advertisement No. 05/2026 is the backlog of the same regular posts, reserved for para teachers already working under Jharkhand Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad, Ranchi, with at least two continuous years of service on the date of the advertisement and still in service. Prior contractual service is only an age relaxation (up to age 58). It does not make this recruitment contractual.
