The prescribed qualification is Service in an analogous post, or the prescribed years of regular service in the feeder grade. The vacancies are spread across 4 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.

The form is submitted offline in the manner set out in the notification. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
