Who can apply: an unusual qualification rule

Most government jobs set only a minimum qualification. This one sets a minimum and a maximum:

• You must have passed Class 10 from a recognised board.
• Your highest qualification must be Class 12 (10+2). The advertisement lists Class XII as the maximum, so read the notification carefully before applying if you hold a higher degree.

Dependants of freedom fighters get up to five more years. Widows, divorced women and judicially separated women who have not remarried can apply up to 35 years (38 for OBC-NCL, 40 for SC/ST). There is no age relaxation for employees of other government departments, PSUs or banks.
