A Bachelor's degree from a recognised university is the basic qualification for all posts. Supply Inspectors and Marketing Inspectors also need good Hindi in Devanagari. The two cane posts need a Bachelor's degree in Agriculture, with a postgraduate degree in Agricultural Science treated as preferential. The Excise Inspector post has physical standards for height, chest and weight, and two years of Territorial Army service or an NCC 'B' or 'C' certificate is treated as preferential for the posts.

Fee, correction window and selection

The application fee is Rs 166.36 for UR, EWS and OBC candidates (Rs 150 plus Rs 16.36 processing), Rs 76.36 for SC, ST and PwD candidates (Rs 60 plus Rs 16.36 processing), and nil for orphans in recognised Uttarakhand homes. The fee must be paid by the same 26 November 2026 deadline. A correction window will run from 3 to 12 December 2026. Selection is through a Preliminary examination (150 objective questions on General Studies and General Aptitude, with one-fourth negative marking), followed by the Main examination (descriptive) and an interview. The examination date has not been announced in the advertisement.

Two corrections to what some job sites are showing: the number of posts is 54, not 7,500 as one listing claims, and the age cut-off is 1 July 2026, not 1 July 2027. The examination date has also not been announced, so no exam date should be treated as confirmed.
