Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Back-to-back protests by the teachers seem to have paid off, as the Madhya Pradesh government finally issued appointment orders for 4,000 secondary and primary teachers on Wednesday. Selected candidates will have to choose the schools (choice filling) through online medium between 12th May and 18th May 2026.
Higher Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar said the Directorate of Public Education has issued an official notification on Wednesday. The recruitment of teachers will be done in compliance with the rules. The government is working to provide timely employment to all eligible candidates.
Recruitment process has been ongoing since 2022; results declared in 2025
According to some candidates, the recruitment process started in the year 2022. After this, the eligibility test was conducted in 2023, and the selection test was conducted in April 2025. After a long process, the result was declared in September 2025.
According to the instructions of the Directorate of Public Education, the candidates selected for the posts of secondary teacher (various subjects) and primary teacher (sports, music, singing, and dancing) will have to select the schools through the online portal.
Candidates must fill all the schools under their allotted division or district in order of priority. The department has clarified that the process of choice filling will be considered complete only after depositing the portal fee.
Fill out form to get preferred choice of school
The department has warned that if a candidate does not fill the school option within the stipulated time limit, he will be allotted a school only on the basis of remaining vacancies. In such a situation, the chances of getting the desired school will be reduced.
Also, any claims related to choice filling will not be accepted later, so it is important to complete the process on time.
