The application window for the much-anticipated KVS LDE/LDCE Recruitment 2025 is set to close today, December 26, 2025. The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) will not accept any applications after the deadline for these departmental promotions and competitive examinations. This recruitment drive aims to fill a significant number of 2,499 vacancies across its vast network of schools and administrative offices.
Key Details of KVS LDE/LDCE Recruitment 2025
This recruitment process is a crucial opportunity for existing KVS staff seeking career advancement. The selection will be conducted through two primary routes: the Limited Departmental Examination (LDE) on a qualifying-cum-seniority basis and the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) for specific posts. The official notification for this drive was first issued on December 11, 2025, with the online application portal opening the very next day on December 12, 2025.
An important highlight for applicants is that no application fee is required from any candidate, irrespective of their category. This includes General, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, and PWD categories. The entire application process is conducted online, and authorities have indicated that an extension of the deadline is highly unlikely.
Posts, Vacancies, and Eligibility Criteria
The recruitment covers a wide spectrum of prestigious positions. Through the LDE route, vacancies will be filled for roles including Principal, Vice Principal, Post Graduate Teachers (PGTs), Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs), Head Master, Assistant Section Officer, Senior Secretariat Assistant, and Junior Secretariat Assistant. These positions are intended to cover vacancies anticipated up to December 2026.
Additionally, the posts of Finance Officer and Section Officer will be filled via the LDCE route, also to cover vacancies until December 2026. The official notification provides a complete, post-wise breakdown of all 2,499 vacancies along with detailed eligibility requirements concerning age, educational qualifications, and service-related criteria. Candidates must meticulously verify that they meet all conditions before applying, as applications found ineligible during scrutiny will be rejected.
Selection Process and Important Dates Ahead
The selection process for KVS LDE/LDCE 2025 is multi-staged. It will commence with a written examination, scheduled for February 5, 2026. Candidates applying for certain posts will also have to undergo a skill test following the written exam. Successful candidates in these stages will then be called for the final rounds of document verification and a medical examination.
KVS will issue admit cards and detailed examination guidelines separately through its official channels closer to the exam date. With the application deadline ending today, eligible candidates are strongly advised to complete and submit their forms immediately to avoid any last-minute technical glitches or server issues. This is a final call for all aspiring applicants to secure their chance at these coveted positions within one of India's largest school systems.
