This role is ideal for passionate and qualified individuals with a strong background in sports coaching, particularly those holding a coaching diploma from recognized institutions like SAI NS-NIS. Candidates with international sports achievements (Olympics/Paralympics/Asian Games/World Championship participation with a coaching certificate) or Dronacharya Awardees are highly sought after. Aspirants should be under 30 years of age (with applicable government age relaxations) and willing to be posted anywhere in India. This is a Group 'B' permanent position offering significant career growth within the Sports Authority of India.
Individuals lacking a formal diploma in coaching or equivalent, or relevant high-level sports participation/awards, should not apply as these are essential qualifications.
