- Uttarakhand Domicile / Employment Exchange Registration Prerequisite: Candidates must either be registered with an Employment Office in Uttarakhand by the closing date, or hold a permanent domicile certificate, or have passed High School and Intermediate from a recognized institution in Uttarakhand.
- Strict Shorthand & Typing Speed Benchmarks: Hindi Stenography @ 80 wpm and Computer Typing @ 4000 KDPH are mandatory qualifying hurdles. Merely scoring high in the written exam is insufficient.
- Mandatory Double-Sided Aadhaar Upload: Candidates must mandatorily upload both sides of their Aadhaar card along with the High School certificate in the online application form.
- Single Application Form: Candidates must not submit multiple applications; submission of duplicate forms will result in cancellation of all applications.
