Check the department for the current honorarium before you apply. Mini Anganwadi Workers (PUC) and Helpers with 5 years of service get priority for promotion to Worker posts.
The notification describes selection by merit, from your marks in the required qualification plus bonus marks.

Both posts use the same online process. The notification does not print the application portal address. It asks NIC Chamarajanagar to host the online form, so use the official website link in Essential Links below.

A widow must attach her husband’s death certificate and widow certificate, and widow pension proof is not accepted. A disability certificate is needed for PwD marks, and disability pension proof is not accepted. If no eligible woman applies from a village or ward, the post is advertised again and then opened to villages within 3 km.
