The prescribed qualification is A degree with a CPCT certificate including Hindi typing for Patwari; Class 10 to a degree or technical qualification for the other posts, and the age limit is 18 to 45 years before category relaxation is applied.
Selection is made through Computer-based test, Merit list and District allotment, followed by the remaining stages set out below.

The examination is currently scheduled for 22 Sept 2026, which leaves a defined window to work back from when planning preparation.
The application fee is ₹500 plus a portal fee of ₹20 – ₹60 for Unreserved, and no fee is payable by Backlog vacancies. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. A correction window is available after applications close, and it is the only opportunity to amend most fields — details are in the dates table below.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
