Eligibility ko practically kaise samjhein?
- B.Sc. Agriculture candidates: Plant Protection, Horticulture, Agronomy, Soil Science aur Agricultural Extension ki essential qualification match ho sakti hai, provided minimum marks aur baaki conditions meet hon.
- “Agriculture” naam ka separate post: Iski 1 vacancy ke liye postgraduate degree aur 55% marks required hain. B.Sc. Agriculture alone ko sufficient na samjhein.
- Public Health: General graduation ke saath recognised Sanitary Inspector certificate bhi mandatory hai.
- Production: Diploma route par experience condition ignore na karein. Degree title, branch aur experience particulars ko original qualification clause aur portal fields se match karein.
- Similar degree name: Apne aap equivalence assume na karein. Notification mein listed qualification se exact match check karein.
Essential aur Preferential Qualification mein Difference
Notification kai posts ke liye relevant postgraduate qualification, teaching/training/extension experience, Territorial Army service ya NCC “B” certificate jaise preferential qualifications bhi mention karta hai. Ye post-wise alag hain aur other things being equal ki condition par apply hote hain.
Preferential qualification essential qualification ka replacement nahi hai. Form mein preference claim tabhi karein jab prescribed documentary proof available ho.
📝 PET 2025 Requirement & Shortlisting

- Notification ke mutabik absolute score ya normalised score mein zero ya negative marks wale candidates main exam ke liye shortlist nahi honge.

Candidate insight: Positive PET score application/shortlisting conditions ka ek part hai. Isse main exam call guaranteed nahi hota; actual shortlisting cutoff matter karega.
🎂 Age Limit & Relaxation
Notification ki post-wise age table mein general age range 21–40 years hai.
- Most specialisations: Advertisement/notification wale calendar year ki 1 July ko age calculate karne ki wording hai — is 2026 notice ke liye 1 July 2026.

- State service employees: Para 11.10 mein specified government order ke under upper-age limit mein 5 years relaxation ka provision diya gaya hai.
