  • Strict Experience & Pay Scale Residency: Candidates from Central/State Govt/PSUs must demonstrate at least 2 years in the immediate lower IDA pay scale of Rs. 60,000-1,80,000 or CDA Level 11 (7th CPC), while private sector candidates must furnish documentation proving an annual CTC of at least Rs. 24.10 LPA as on the cut-off date (08.10.2026).
  • Comprehensive Document Upload in Single PDF: All proof of experience (appointment orders, service certificates, last month pay slips, Form 16 / CTC certificates) must be consolidated and uploaded online in chronological order as a single PDF. Incomplete uploads lead to immediate shortlisting rejection.
  • Probation Confirmation Screening: Appointees must qualify in an internal screening test at the end of their 1-year probation period for confirmation of service.
  • 60% Qualifying Cutoff in Interview: UR/EWS candidates must score at least 60% in the interview (out of 100 marks) to be considered for empanelment.
