Salary System Hits Vidya Sambal in Urban Areas: No Guest Faculty Where the Vacant Post’s Salary Is Already Being Drawn
Orders to place guest faculty on vacant lecturer posts in urban government schools have been issued, but the salary system is weighing on the Vidya Sambal Yojana. Where the salary of a vacant post is already being drawn in someone else’s name, no guest faculty will be placed. Such posts are said to be many in Jaipur, so the benefit of the scheme may stay limited.
What Is the Problem
Under the new rule of the Vidya Sambal Yojana, guest faculty will be placed only on a vacant post that is sanctioned in the school and against which no employee’s salary is being drawn.
In many urban schools, lecturers are working against posts whose salary is drawn from a vacant post in another school. On paper such a post is treated as filled, even if the school has fewer lecturers teaching. As a result, the way to place guest faculty there will not open.
Impact on Jaipur and Urban Schools
- With many such posts in Jaipur, the posts available for guest faculty under the scheme will be limited.
- Even schools that have too few lecturers for their student numbers may get no relief because of the salary-drawing condition.
- The list of vacant posts will be put up on the school notice board; apply only after checking it.
Key Selection Rules
- Retired teachers get priority first, then private candidates.
- Maximum age 65 years; the older candidate is preferred when marks are equal.
- No interview; merit of 75% of academic and 25% of professional qualification marks.
- Applications between 23 and 25 November 2026; the full timetable is in our earlier story.
