Special Educator (Primary) receives ₹25,000/month. PMU Consultants (4 posts) receive ₹55,000/month.

Selection Process
EdCIL will shortlist candidates based on qualifications and experience, followed by a Personal Interview. Given the large number of vacancies (125 per post), and if there are sufficient qualified applicants, shortlisting will be on a percentage/experience-based criterion. The interview determines final selection. Document verification including original degree certificates, RCI registration certificate, and CTET/AP TET certificate follows the interview for Special Educator posts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is EdCIL a permanent government job?
No. These are project-based contractual positions. EdCIL is implementing this recruitment on behalf of the Andhra Pradesh government for a specific Autism Center initiative. Employment is not permanent Central Government service. Duration depends on the project terms.
Q: I have RCI registration but no AP TET — can I apply for Special Educator?
For Special Educator posts, both RCI registration and AP TET (or CTET) are listed as requirements. Candidates without the TET qualification should check the official notification carefully — CTET may be accepted as an alternative to AP TET for some posts.
Q: Is there a domicile requirement — do I need to be from Andhra Pradesh?
The notification does not specify a domicile requirement. The positions are for deployment in Andhra Pradesh, so candidates must be willing to work in AP. There is no mention of an AP domicile prerequisite in the notification.
