These JBT teachers will be appointed on contract basis at Rs 17820 per month. This time the entire process of counseling has been changed in batchwise recruitment.

Earlier, after an order of the High Court, all the candidates had to attend counseling in every district, but this time the counseling schedule will be completed between 20th to 25th November, which will be headed by the Deputy Director of Elementary Education Department of the concerned district.

Eligible candidates have to attend counseling in their home district only and details of ongoing batches along with vacant posts in other districts will also be made available there.
