Eligibility Criteria — Manipur SSC Special Primary Teacher 2026
Educational Qualification
Conditions 1, 2 and 4 below are hard requirements. Condition 3 is the only one the notification allows to be waived at the recruitment stage, and only in the circumstances it specifies.
- 10+2 or equivalent with at least 50% marks from a recognised University or Board, or 10+2 or equivalent with at least 45% marks from a recognised University, Institution or Board in accordance with the NCTE (Recognition Norms and Procedure) Regulations, 2002.
- D.Ed. in Special Education from an RCI-approved institute, along with a valid RCI CRR number — or a D.El.Ed. with a recognised certificate or diploma from an RCI-approved institution treated as equivalent to D.Ed. in Special Education, again with a valid RCI CRR number.
- 6 months of training in teaching in a cross-disability area in inclusive education. If that programme is not currently available, this requirement may be dropped at the recruitment stage, but the selected teacher must compulsorily undergo the training as soon as it is conducted.
- Pass in the Teacher Eligibility Test-1 (TET-1) conducted by the State Government or any other agency approved by NCTE.
This is a specialised teaching and faculty recruitment, so your RCI registration is the single most important document — check that your CRR number is active before you apply.
Other Eligibility Conditions
- The candidate must be a citizen of India.
- The candidate must be able to speak Manipuri or any tribal dialect of Manipur.
- The candidate must be a permanent resident of Manipur. Candidates whose parent or any ancestor in direct lineage is a permanent resident of the State are also eligible, with proper documentary proof.
Age Limit
The age limit is 18 to 38 years, counted as on the date of the advertisement (22 July 2026) — please note this is not the application deadline.
| Category | Age Relaxation |
|---|---|
| SC / ST | 5 years |
| OBC | 3 years |
| Manipur Government servants | Equal to continuous service put in |
| SC/ST Government servants | Both benefits together |
The notification adds that age relaxation applies to other kinds of candidates as per Government Orders and OMs issued from time to time, so categories not listed above — PwD candidates, for example — should check the applicable Manipur Government orders.

What is the Salary for Manipur SSC Special Primary Teacher 2026?
The notification is short and precise about pay, so here is exactly what it says — nothing added.
- Pay Scale: Level 6
- Class & Service: Group-C, non-Gazetted
- Nature of appointment: Regular basis, in the Education (S) Department
The notification prints only “Level 6” in the Pay Scale column. It does not state any rupee basic pay, grade pay or allowance figure anywhere in its five pages, so we are not quoting one here.
For the exact monthly amount, check the Manipur State pay matrix for Level 6 and the allowances admissible to Manipur Government employees. What the notification does tell us is that these are regular Group-C non-Gazetted posts in the Education (S) Department, appointed on a regular basis. It does not state the service conditions or allowances, so check the Manipur Government service rules for those.
What is the Selection Process for Manipur SSC Special Teacher 2026?
Stage 0: Employment Exchange Sponsorship
This is a pre-condition, not a stage you can skip. Only candidates sponsored by the concerned Employment Exchange of Manipur are allowed to submit the online application. Your registration parameters on the portal must match your Employment Exchange sponsorship credentials.
Stage 1: Computer Based Test (CBT)
| Subject | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| General Knowledge | 50 | 50 |
| Basic Mathematics | 25 | 25 |
| English Language | 25 | 25 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |
All questions are MCQ type carrying 1 mark each, at Class XII level, and there is NO negative marking — so attempt every question. The duration is 75 minutes. PwD candidates using a scribe get 20 minutes extra per hour, that is 100 minutes in total. The General Knowledge section covers politics, history, geography, literature, sports, arts and culture, and special education. Brush up using our exam syllabus and pattern resources.
Stage 2: Answer Key and Objections
A provisional answer key is published online, and you get a 3-day window to raise objections in online mode. A fee of ₹100 per challenged question applies. The objections go to a team of experts whose decision is final and binding, after which the final answer key is released.
Stage 3: Normalization and Tie-Breaking
If the examination is held in more than one shift, marks are normalized using the Commission’s formula. If two candidates still score the same, the tie is broken in this order: total CBT marks, then date of birth with the older candidate ranked higher, then alphabetical order of names.
Stage 4: Document Verification
You must produce original documents proving qualification, experience, age, community and disability whenever the Commission calls for them. Failure to produce them means cancellation of candidature. There is no interview, skill test or medical examination stage mentioned in this notification.
