It added that a total of a minimum of 5 years of teaching knowledge would be compulsory for an applicant wishing to apply for the position of principal.
Online applications would be accepted for both the posts:
Separate online applications for both positions will be considered, as per the approved requirements. In the same online application, candidates who choose to apply for both positions will have the option of choosing both documents. Even then, the application fee will be payable separately, the guidelines said as well.
There is no specific guidance in the guidelines about the specific syllabus for the recruitment tests for the roles of principal as well as an assistant teacher.
