The TSB Recruitment Portal refers to the Teachers Service Board (TSB) online recruitment systems used by various Nigerian states to hire qualified teachers and education professionals into public schools. Each state’s Teachers Service Board (TSB) manages its recruitment separately, but the function is similar: advertise positions, collect applications, and track candidate status.
For example, the Benue State Teaching Service Board (TSB) has an official recruitment portal where jobs are posted and applications submitted. Another example is the Kaduna State Teachers Service Board (KSTSB), which also recruits teachers and well-qualified candidates through its own portal.
What Is the TSB Recruitment Portal
The TSB Recruitment Portal is an online application system where candidates can:
• View current teacher recruitment vacancies
• Register and create a profile
• Complete an online application form
• Upload required documents (certificates, qualifications, IDs)
• Track application status or shortlist
• Receive announcements about screening, tests, and interviews
Each state’s TSB recruitment portal is linked to that state’s Teaching Service Board.
Examples of TSB Recruitment Portals
Benue State TSB Recruitment Portal – Managed by the Benue State Teaching Service Board (TSB), this portal lists available job opportunities and provides a way to register and apply online. The official board site includes a Recruitment Portal link for teacher vacancies.
Kaduna State Teachers Service Board Portal (KSTSB) – The Kaduna State TSB runs its recruitment through a dedicated portal where applicants can sign up, update profiles, and complete the application process.
Other states with TSB recruitment portals operate similarly but with different URLs.
Current Recruitment Status (2025/2026)
Many TSB recruitment portals are open seasonally depending on state education hiring needs. For example, job listings on the Benue State TSB portal showed open vacancies with specific deadlines in late 2025.
Since state Boards open recruitment at different times, interested applicants should monitor the official TSB portal for their state for 2026 recruitment adverts, closing dates, and updates.
Eligibility Requirements
While specific requirements depend on the advertised teaching position and state policies, general eligibility standards usually include:
• Nigerian citizenship
• Minimum educational qualification (often a Bachelor’s degree in Education, NCE, or relevant teaching degree)
• NYSC discharge/exemption certificate (for degree holders)
• Professional qualifications (e.g., Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) membership) as required by state Boards
• Good character and ability to teach the subject or grade level advertised
Always read the specific job advert on the portal for exact requirement details.
