For experienced therapists and special educators in Andhra Pradesh, the offered ₹30,000 per month is modest compared to private sector equivalents but provides the advantage of structured, project-based work with clear social impact. The key value of this engagement is the professional experience at government-funded Autism Centers, the official appointment under a CPSE/PM SHRI project (strong CV credential), and the opportunity to contribute to a nationally significant inclusive education initiative. PMU Consultants at ₹55,000 are comparably placed for project management roles in the social sector.
Stage 1 — Online Application Submission & Document Screening
All applications submitted online at tsgrecruitment.edcil.co.in before 4 June 2026 are screened for basic eligibility — qualification, registration status (RCI/professional licence), AP TET/CTET (for Special Educators), age limit, and completeness of uploaded documents. Incomplete applications or those lacking mandatory supporting documents (degree certificates, RCI certificate, TET certificate) are rejected at this stage. Accuracy of information in the form is absolutely critical — EdCIL verifies against uploaded documents.
Stage 2 — Shortlisting Based on Qualifications & Experience
Eligible candidates are shortlisted for the interview based on a weighted assessment of academic qualifications and professional experience. Candidates with higher qualifications (M.Sc. over B.Sc., M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology, specialised degrees in Autism) and more relevant clinical experience working with children with ASD or other developmental disabilities are prioritised. Experience is a significant differentiator in this recruitment — document all your relevant internships, clinical placements, and professional work clearly in the application.
Stage 3 — Personal Interview
Shortlisted candidates are called for a Personal Interview on a prescribed date and time communicated via registered email and mobile. The interview assesses domain-specific professional competence, practical knowledge of working with children on the Autism Spectrum, communication skills, and suitability for placement in an Autism Center environment. Interview performance is the primary selection criterion. Location and format of interview will be specified in the interview call letter.
Stage 4 — Waiting List & Final Engagement
A waiting list will be maintained and used to fill vacancies created by selected candidates who do not join or whose contracts terminate during the project period. Finally selected candidates are deployed at Autism Centers across Andhra Pradesh municipalities as per EdCIL's operational planning. Deployment location within AP is determined by EdCIL/SPD — candidates must be willing to work at any assigned location across AP.
