Job description

Overview

Kendriya Vidyalaya is hiring a Principal in Mokokchung, Nagaland. The role is well-scoped, supported by detailed academic planning, and offers a clear path for professional growth. Kendriya Vidyalaya, established 1978, runs as a senior secondary campus in Mokokchung, Nagaland — a CBSE-affiliated school. The school believes a strong campus is built on its teachers and works to be a place where faculty want to stay. Role: as Principal, you work closely with the Principal on academic and operational decisions — leading a section/team, driving teacher development, overseeing assessments, and holding the line on standards. Responsibilities:

  • Lead the assigned section/department on academic and operational matters.
  • Mentor teachers through observation, feedback, and development plans.
  • Oversee assessment cycles, result analysis, and improvement plans.
  • Handle parent escalations professionally and represent the school externally.
  • Drive a culture of academic rigour, discipline, and student wellbeing. Requirements:
  • Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
  • Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
  • Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
  • Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.
  • A track record of building and retaining strong teaching teams. Why join us:
  • Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹7.8 LPA – ₹19.3 LPA).
  • Reasonable workload with planned holidays per the calendar.
  • Real ownership of your subject/function from day one.
  • A leadership team that listens, supports, and gives credit.
  • A campus that respects educators as professionals. Submit your application here so Kendriya Vidyalaya can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
