Should you apply?
The APS Bengdubi Headmaster post suits teachers who already have the required experience and want a fixed-term leadership role. The four-year contract is the main trade-off, since the post is not permanent. The notice gives pay only as per school norms, so candidates may want to ask the school office before applying. Candidates who want a permanent role can also browse other government jobs before deciding.
Teachers from the same school are preferred when they meet the minimum requirements. That preference narrows the field for outside candidates. A school has one head, so eligible candidates compete for a single seat.
The form’s agreement says the management can transfer services in organisational interest, and candidates agree to abide by AWES rules. Candidates from outside Darjeeling district should send the application at once, since the last date is 30 September 2026. Candidates who meet every criterion can apply for the APS Bengdubi Headmaster job by post or by hand.
