Basic Qualification
Eligibility is post-specific. At a basic level, the recruitment covers candidates with SSC/10th, ITI/trade qualifications, relevant three-year engineering diplomas, nursing qualifications and degree-level credentials. Relevant work experience is also prescribed for the posts. Applicants should use this summary only to identify a likely matching role and must confirm the exact branch, licence, certificate and experience condition for that post in the official Advertisement No. 09/2026.
Age Limit and Experience
Age and experience are assessed with reference to 30 September 2026. For most posts, the notified upper-age level for UR/EWS candidates is 33 years. The Hindi Translator vacancy is reserved for OBC-NCL with a notified upper age of 36 years, while Steward cum Cook carries a higher notified age ceiling. Category and other permissible relaxations are governed by the advertisement.
Experience requirements are not identical across all 20 post categories. Many technical and supervisory positions require relevant experience, while some specialised roles carry different requirements. Candidates should match their own experience against the exact post entry rather than relying on a single combined figure.
