The Commission’s services can mainly be classified into five pillars:

1) permanent teacher recruitment, 

2) teacher promotion,

3) teaching license,

4) digital and technical services, and

5) administrative and policy services.

This guide provides complete information for candidates, serving teachers, school administrations, and policymakers on how to access the Commission’s services and what process to follow for each service.

• Solution: when searching within the result PDF, font issues may prevent results from showing. Check both roll number and name manually, one by one.

Problem 3: The license is lost. What should be done?

• Solution: first file a loss application at the nearest police post. Then download the duplicate form from the Commission website and contact the Commission with a recommendation from the district coordination unit.

Final Takeaway

The Teacher Service Commission’s services are now far more transparent and accessible than before.

In line with the concept of paperless and faceless services, the Commission is moving forward.

Service users do not need to rely on middlemen.

For official information, always use only the Commission’s website and official channels.

Correct use of these services provides a qualified person the opportunity to become the backbone of Nepal’s education system.
