One of the six Primary Teacher posts has also been identified as a PwBD (Locomotor Disability/Cerebral Palsy) backlog vacancy. If a suitable candidate isn’t found in that category, the post moves to another benchmark disability category before reverting to the general reservation roster. All 10 posts are currently temporary, though they’re expected to continue.

Selected teachers also get ISRO employee benefits — medical facilities, canteen, free transport, housing, LTC, group insurance, and various advances — and are covered under the New Defined Contribution Pension Scheme (NPS).
