Only one ST seat exists in the whole district, in Bhawalkhera. A post reserved for one category accepts applications only from that category. Unreserved (UR) posts are open to women of any caste. The notice also says the number of vacancies may go up or down, and the change will be shown on the website.
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Anganwadi Sahayika | Minimum Intermediate (12th) or its equivalent |
If you have a graduation or post-graduation degree too, it helps you in merit (see the selection section). Intermediate is enough to apply. See more 12th pass government jobs.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Women only | Only local women candidates are eligible |
| Village posts | You must be a resident of the gram panchayat where the post is vacant |
| Town posts | You must be a resident of the ward of the urban body where the post is vacant |
| Category | Apply only against a post reserved for your category, or an unreserved post |
This residence rule is the most important line in the notice. Living elsewhere in the district is not enough. Your residence certificate must match the village or ward of the centre. So before anything else, open the centre-wise list in the notification and look for your own gram panchayat or ward. If no centre there is vacant, or the vacant centre is reserved for a different category, you cannot apply for it, however good your marks are. Check this before filling the form.
| Category | Age as on 01.07.2026 |
|---|---|
| All candidates | Minimum 18 years, maximum 35 years |

For age, only the date of birth written in your High School (10th) marksheet and certificate is accepted. The notice does not mention any age relaxation, so treat 35 years on 1 July 2026 as your upper limit.
The notice describes these as honorarium-based (maandey) posts. It does not state the honorarium amount. We will not guess a figure for you. Check the official portal or ask at your Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) office if you want the current rate before joining.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Merit | Calculated by the departmental portal as per Point 7, paras (I) to (IV) of the Government Order |
| Marks used | Intermediate (or equivalent) marks, with graduation or post-graduation marks added |
The notice names only this portal-based merit. It does not give the weightage; the calculation is in Point 7 of the Government Order. Because merit comes from your marks, enter every mark and maximum mark exactly as printed on your marksheets. A higher degree can lift your position, so upload your graduation or post-graduation marksheet too if you have one.
