Educational Qualification

Computer knowledge is mandatory. Current notification-based reproductions list recognised computer certificates, diplomas or degrees such as DCA/PGDCA/BCA/Computer Science/IT/Modern Office Management or other accepted equivalent qualifications from recognised institutions.
Graduation is not the minimum entry qualification, but graduation marks can contribute to the merit score where claimed and supported.
Local Residence and Tendu-Leaf Collector Family Condition
This recruitment is not open simply on the basis of educational qualification.
Candidates must satisfy both local conditions:
- Society-area residence: the applicant must reside within the area of the Primary Forest Produce Cooperative Society for which they apply.
- Tendu-leaf collector family: the applicant must belong to a family meeting the tendu-leaf collection condition stated in the notice.
Current reproductions consistently report that the family should have collected at least the prescribed minimum quantity in each qualifying year for at least three years out of the preceding five years, supported by self-attested collection-card proof.
Because village/society mapping is recruitment-specific, applicants should verify their exact village in the official attachment before posting the form.

Current notification-based reproductions report:
- Minimum age: 18 years
- General upper age: 35 years
- Age calculation date: 1 January 2027

Use the [Regal Naukri Age Calculator]({age_tool}) with 1 January 2027 as the cut-off date before applying.
Pay and Appointment Conditions
The accessible official recruitment page does not publish one rupee salary figure.
The notice is consistently reported as stating that the Manager’s remuneration/pay will be as fixed by the Chhattisgarh State Minor Forest Produce Federation, Raipur.
Current notification-based reproductions also state:
- an initial one-year probation;
- regularisation/continuation after successful probation subject to applicable rules;
- police verification and medical fitness before appointment; and
- a ₹10,000 security deposit before joining, under the prescribed conditions.
The ₹10,000 amount is a post-selection security deposit, not an application fee.
Application Fee
No application fee is stated in the current recruitment information reviewed for this package.
Candidates should not send any fee unless the official application document specifically instructs otherwise.
Selection Process
Selection is based on a merit score of up to 125 marks.

|---|---|
| Higher Secondary / Class 12 | 100 |
| Graduation | 20 |
| Recognised Computer Qualification | 5 |
| Total | 125 |
For Class 12, the percentage itself is used as the merit score up to 100 marks. Graduation contributes one-fifth of the graduation percentage up to 20 marks.
Current notification-based reproductions report computer-qualification marks of up to 5 depending on the recognised certificate/diploma/degree level.
If two candidates receive the same total score, the older candidate is given preference under the reported tie-breaking rule.
