The school is a CBSE-affiliated Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya (Affiliation No. 1520147). When the one-year term ends, a fresh engagement is made after a gap of at least one working day, based on your satisfactory performance. So this is a yearly renewable role, not a permanent post.
How Many Vacancies Are There in OAV Badadeuli Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Warden (Male) | 1 |
| Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper (Male) | 1 |
| Head Cook (Male) | 1 |
| Assistant Cook (Male) | 2 |
| Total | 5 |
The notice gives no category-wise split of these seats and no reservation table. Each post has a single seat, except Assistant Cook with two, so competition for each seat is local and direct. With so few seats, a clean, complete application matters more than anything else you can do.
What Is the Eligibility for OAV Badadeuli Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Warden | B.A. / B.Sc. from a recognised university, plus at least 2 years in hostel management |
| Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper | HSC pass from a recognised board |
| Head Cook | No educational qualification stated; preference to those trained in cookery |
| Assistant Cook | No educational qualification stated; preference to those trained in cookery |
Warden applicants need a graduate degree and real hostel experience. The Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper post suits a 10th pass candidate, since HSC is the Odisha matriculation level.
Other Conditions Listed in the Notice
| Post | Condition |
|---|---|
| Warden | Must be able to stay in the hostel 24×7; retired teachers who are willing and physically and mentally sound may apply |
| Head Cook | Must stay in the hostel 24×7; must be well conversant with using LPG; perfect hygiene in dress while cooking; good cooking habits; ability to cook any dish on time with care for hygiene |
| Assistant Cook | The same conditions as Head Cook |
| Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper | Only male candidates can apply |
Both cook posts and the Warden post call for living in the hostel round the clock, so be sure you can do that before you apply. If you are a trained cook, mention your training clearly in the form, because the notice says preference and due weightage go to people trained in cookery. For the Warden post, keep your experience certificate ready, since two years of hostel management is a stated requirement and not just a preference.
Who Can Apply for OAV Badadeuli Recruitment 2026? The Local Candidate Rule
| Order | What the notice says |
|---|---|
| First | Preference is given to local candidates |
| Second | If none are available locally, the block is taken as a unit |
| Third | If still none, candidates from nearby blocks may be selected |
| Final | No candidate from outside the district should be recruited against these posts |
If you live outside Mayurbhanj district, you cannot be recruited here. That one line saves you the postage and the document copies. If you live in the school’s locality, you are first in line. If you live in a nearby block of Mayurbhanj, you come after the locality and the block. Keep your residential certificate ready, because it is the document that proves where you belong.

Age is counted as on the date of the advertisement, 7 November 2026. The notice mentions no age relaxation for any category, so treat the upper limit as firm. The 62-year ceiling applies only to retired teachers, and it is counted on the date of engagement, not on the advertisement date. Do not assume you get extra years because of your category; the notice does not say so. Work out your exact age on 7 November 2026 before you apply.
What Is the Salary for OAV Badadeuli Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Monthly Remuneration |
|---|---|
| Warden | Rs 21,175 |
| Head Cook | Rs 9,000 |
| Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper | Rs 7,500 |
| Assistant Cook | Rs 6,750 |
All figures are fixed monthly amounts that include the EPF share of both employee and employer. That means your take-home will be lower than the figure shown, because the EPF share is part of it. The notice states no other allowance. Even so, the Warden pay of Rs 21,175 is well above the other three posts, and that post also asks for a degree and experience.
What Is the Selection Process for OAV Badadeuli Recruitment 2026?
The notice does not mention a written test or an interview stage, and it names no selection stage at all. What it does set out is the order of engagement: local candidates first, then the block, then nearby blocks, and nobody from outside the district. The authority also reserves the right to cancel the advertisement partly or fully, and to cancel any application, without giving a reason. Keep a photocopy of the complete application you posted.
