EMRS Guest Teacher Recruitment Rules 2026 Revised , Check Here

NESTS (National Education Society for Tribal Students) has issued fresh guidelines dated 27 May 2026 for engaging Guest Teachers in EMRS schools for the Academic Year 2026-27. Since the EMRS Staff Selection Exam 2026 is still underway, schools have been permitted to hire guest teachers on an ad-hoc basis to keep academic activities running. This permission is valid till regular staff is posted by NESTS or till the end of Academic Session 2026-27, whichever comes earlier. All State/UT EMRS Societies and school principals must follow these revised guidelines strictly.

How Will EMRS Guest Teacher Selection Be Done?

EMRS schools will not follow a single central notification for guest teacher recruitment. Individual schools or regional EMRS Societies will release their own notices depending on vacancy. Here is how selection will work:

• Individual EMRS schools or State Societies will release separate notification or interview notice
• Selection may be through Walk-in Interview, Merit List, or Panel basis
• If a school cannot arrange guest teachers on its own, existing panels of other EMRS schools, KVS, or JNV may also be used
• If the State Society cannot arrange teachers, the Principal is empowered to arrange them directly
• Candidates must check their nearest EMRS school or regional society notice regularly for updates
