About the Organisation
The National Education Society for Tribal Students (NESTS) is an autonomous society under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India. It plans, builds and manages Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) across the country, which give free residential schooling to Scheduled Tribe students from Class VI to XII, along with hostel facilities and teaching and non-teaching staff. EMRS Melli, in Dist. Namchi, Sikkim, is one such school and is currently hiring guest faculty and hostel staff on an ad hoc basis.
Local Context
Melli sits on the Sikkim–West Bengal border along the Teesta river and is one of the entry points into Sikkim from Siliguri and other North Bengal towns via the Sikkim highway. Candidates from Jalpaiguri, Kalimpong and Siliguri can reach it without changing state, while candidates already in Sikkim can travel from Namchi or Jorethang. This is added context, not part of the official notice. Confirm road conditions and travel plans before the interview date.

Should You Apply?
This suits candidates in Sikkim who already hold a COI and meet the post-wise qualification, and who want short-term teaching or hostel-related experience at a residential school. The pay is modest — ₹18,000 to ₹25,000 a month — and each post has only one vacancy, so competition for a single seat can be sharp even with few applicants overall. The notice states the engagement is purely ad hoc, and guest staff cannot claim regularisation, so this is not a route to a permanent government post on its own. It can still be a useful entry point for candidates building teaching or hostel-management experience, or for those who want to work close to home in South Sikkim. Candidates without a COI, or without the specific qualification listed for a post, are not eligible and should not apply.
