Fee payment is typically accepted online through Debit Card, Credit Card, or Net Banking. Confirm the exact amount and payment window once the detailed notification is released.

OAVS Teacher Salary 2026

Teaching at an OAV is attractive largely because of the pay — these posts follow the Odisha Revised Scale of Pay (ORSP) Rules. Based on the pay levels used in the previous OAVS recruitment cycle:

💡 Pro Tip: On top of basic pay, selected candidates also draw Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and other admissible allowances as per Odisha Government norms — so the actual in-hand salary is higher than the basic pay shown above.

Selection Process

Candidates will be shortlisted through three stages:

1. Computer Based Test (CBT): An objective-type online exam testing subject knowledge, teaching aptitude, and general awareness.
2. Interview: Shortlisted candidates from the CBT are called for a personal interview.
3. Performance Test: Applicable for certain posts (such as PET) to assess practical/demonstration skills.

The final merit list is prepared based on combined performance across these stages.
