About This Recruitment

The prescribed qualification is An MBA, B.Tech, CA, ICWA, M.Sc., M.V.Sc. or MCA depending on the discipline, with Punjabi studied up to matriculation, and the age limit is 18 to 45 years before category relaxation is applied. The vacancies are spread across 15 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.

Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹56,100 basic during the two-year probation, plus travelling and mobile allowances. The place of posting is Punjab, and Milkfed branch offices elsewhere in India.
The application fee is ₹1,000 for Unreserved, BC, Ex-Servicemen and Sports quota. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
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.
