Basic Qualification and Experience
Eligibility varies substantially by post. Depending on the position, GSL requires the relevant engineering degree, CA/CMA, MBA/MSW or other recognised HR qualification, law degree, journalism/mass communication qualification, MCA/IT degree, Rajbhasha qualification or other specified professional credentials.
All advertised positions require relevant post-qualification experience. Senior grades require significantly longer experience than Deputy Manager and Junior Manager posts. Candidates should therefore use the exact post row in Advertisement No. 06/2026 rather than relying only on the broad qualification summary above.
Use the Regal Naukri Eligibility Pre-check to organise your qualification and experience before applying.
Age Limit and Pay
The upper age limit is post- and category-specific and is calculated as on 30 September 2026. The notified limits broadly vary by grade and reservation category. Candidates should use the exact age row for their selected post and check the applicable relaxation.
Use the Regal Naukri Age Calculator with the official cut-off date.
