Job description
Overview
Kendriya Vidyalaya No 3 in Kanpur Nagar, Uttar Pradesh is on the lookout for a Principal. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Kendriya Vidyalaya No 3, established 1985, is a senior secondary school in Kanpur Nagar, Uttar Pradesh — a CBSE-affiliated school. The working culture is collaborative, professional, and grounded in student-centred decisions. Position: as Principal, you are part of the school's leadership group. The role demands strong judgement, calm execution, and a clear point of view on what good schooling looks like. Day to day, you will:
- Run faculty meetings, academic reviews, and section-level planning.
- Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
- Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
- Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
- Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Ideal candidate — you have:
- 8+ years in school education with leadership exposure.
- Direct experience running a section, department, or full school.
- A point of view on good teaching, good assessments, and good schools.
- Patience to coach and firmness to enforce standards.
- Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. Compensation and environment:
- Salary structured fairly across roles (₹12.2 LPA – ₹22.7 LPA).
- A calendar that respects academic delivery and personal time.
- Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
- A calm, professional, student-centred campus culture.
- Real backing from the leadership team when it matters. Complete your application through this page with your latest CV and references. The recruitment desk at Kendriya Vidyalaya No 3 reviews every profile that arrives via the platform.
Common questions about this role
Is background verification done before joining?
Standard pre-joining checks cover qualification documents, prior employment, and reference calls. Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
Kendriya Vidyalaya No 3 follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
Is English fluency required?
Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected.
Is the salary CTC or in-hand?
Schools quote CTC by default. In-hand depends on PF (12% employee share), professional tax, and your tax slab — ask HR for a sample salary structure before accepting.
Is this a contract or permanent role?
This is listed as a full time role. The exact contract term and renewal terms are confirmed at offer stage.

Most permanent teaching roles in Indian K-12 schools are open-ended after a 3–6 month probation. The offer letter you receive will state the exact terms, including probation, notice period and confirmation criteria.
How do I write an application email for this Principal role?
Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line "Principal application — Kendriya Vidyalaya No 3"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Kendriya Vidyalaya No 3 and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans.
What qualifications are required for a Principal?
Most Principal roles require a relevant Bachelor's/Master's in the subject plus a B.Ed (or equivalent teacher-training qualification). Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply.
What does a typical day look like?
School days usually run 7.5–8 hours with 5–6 teaching periods, plus prep, lunch and one or two non-teaching duties (homework checks, library, club). Saturdays vary by school.
Do I have to work weekends?
Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off. Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions.
