Quick Highlights

Introduction

SCERT Assam has released a fresh recruitment notification for 11 temporary posts under the PM eVidya DTH TV Channels project, run by the Directorate of SCERT in coordination with CIET-NCERT and BISAG-N. The drive is looking to fill roles across programme management, academic content, video production, camera operations, and finance — essentially the full production team behind Assam’s educational TV broadcasting.

This opportunity is especially relevant for postgraduates with project or teaching experience, media professionals with video editing or camera skills, and commerce graduates with accounting exposure. Since the engagement is contractual (8 months or till the project ends, whichever is earlier), it suits candidates looking for short-term, resume-building government project experience rather than a permanent posting.

Applications must reach SCERT Assam by email before 7 August 2026, so eligible candidates should prepare their documents and application form well ahead of the deadline.

No TA/DA is admissible for the skill test or interview.

Exam Pattern

This recruitment does not involve a written examination. Selection is based purely on document shortlisting, a skill test for technical posts, and an interview — so there is no exam pattern, syllabus, or marks distribution to prepare for in the traditional sense.

Common Mistakes While Applying

Preparation Tips

Since this is a shortlisting-plus-skill-test process (not a written exam), focus on strengthening your portfolio: keep sample work ready (edited videos, camera reels, or content samples) if applying for Video Editor or Cameraman posts, and be ready to discuss your project/teaching experience clearly in the interview.

Career Growth

While the engagement is temporary (8 months or till project completion), it offers valuable exposure to a state-level educational broadcasting project under NCERT/CIET and BISAG-N — useful experience for future roles in EdTech, government media units, or educational content production.
