The remaining marks came from the personal interaction round, which assessed subject knowledge, pedagogy, regional language proficiency, computer skills, and overall personality — including, for TGT posts, a requirement to hold CTET Paper-II qualification.
Registration Process That Was Followed
Candidates registered by downloading the Annexure-A form from the NVS Shillong regional website and emailing it directly to the Venue Principal of their designated JNV — no supporting documents were required at this registration stage. The Venue Principal then assigned individual interview dates and communicated them by email, with candidates required to bring all original documents, self-attested photocopies, experience certificates, and a passport-size photograph on their allotted day.
Important Points Worth Remembering
There was no application fee for this recruitment at any stage. The engagement was purely contractual and temporary, carrying no claim to regular appointment or automatic extension beyond the academic session. Candidates found ineligible during document verification were not permitted to proceed to the personal interaction round, and no TA/DA was paid for attending the interview.
