JKPSC School Lecturer 2026 — J&K Eligibility, Pattern & Vacancy Guide
JKPSC School Lecturer recruits subject teachers for J&K higher secondary schools (classes 9-12) under the School Education Department — a school-level post, distinct from JKPSC's degree-college "Assistant Professor" (already covered separately), which requires NET/SET/PhD and pays at a higher level.
- Post: School Lecturer, referred by the School Education Dept, conducted by JKPSC (not JKSSB, which runs a separate lower-level "Teacher" post)
- Eligibility: Master's degree in the subject — B.Ed requirement unconfirmed, and crucially NO NET/SET/PhD needed (unlike Assistant Professor)
- Last confirmed cycle: 575 vacancies across 24 disciplines, notification Dec 2024, written exams rolling out through 2025-26
- Pattern: 100 MCQs/2 hrs, 0.25 negative marking, + Interview + Document Verification
- Pay: Level 9, ₹52,700-1,66,700/month*
Both are conducted by JKPSC, which causes confusion. School Lecturer (this article) is for higher secondary SCHOOLS and needs only a Master's degree. Assistant Professor is for DEGREE COLLEGES and additionally requires NET/SET/PhD — a materially higher academic bar.

Is School Lecturer the same as Assistant Professor at JKPSC?
No — School Lecturer is a school-level post (classes 9-12) needing only a Master's degree. Assistant Professor is for degree colleges and additionally requires NET/SET/PhD, with higher pay.
How many vacancies in the last cycle?
575 posts across 24 disciplines, per a December 2024 notification — written exams for individual subjects were still rolling out through 2025-26.
Sources
The 575-vacancy/24-discipline 2024 cycle and the JKPSC-not-JKSSB conducting-body fact are well corroborated. B.Ed requirement, exact interview weightage, and the pay figure are unconfirmed — a July 2026 government order signals a cadre-strength review may precede the next notification.
