Accountant applicants should read the complete qualification clauses. Physical requirements for the Prohibition and Excise Sub-Inspector post must also be checked in the detailed notice.
Technical Assistant in Mines and Geology
Brief Notification No. 32/2026 specifies B.Sc. in Geology. It gives preference to candidates with at least one year of practical experience in the specified mineral investigation, geological mapping, mining or groundwater work. Its notified pay scale is ₹35,570–₹1,09,910.
DIET and SCERT Lecturer Posts
Brief Notification No. 30/2026 covers three teaching categories. It states that the post-specific educational qualifications will be specified in due course. Candidates should check the detailed notice before deciding eligibility.

Engineering and Other Departmental Posts
When reviewing AEE, AMVI, Endowments or other specialist vacancies, compare the exact degree title, subject combination and any experience, licence or physical conditions in the relevant notice with your records. A recruitment headline cannot establish whether your particular qualification meets the rules.
Age Limit and Application Fees
The Technical Assistant and school education lecturer brief notices specify an age range of 18–44 years as on 1 July 2026. Read each recruitment's detailed age and relaxation provisions; the same age rule should not be assumed for every post.
Check the processing fee, examination fee, exemption conditions and payment instructions in the detailed notice for your chosen recruitment. This overview does not assign one common fee to all 10 notifications.
Selection Process and Exam Preparation
Group-II: The brief notice provides an offline OMR screening examination for 150 marks and two main-examination papers of 150 marks each. The screening date is to be announced in the detailed notification.
Technical Assistant and lecturer recruitments: Their brief notices specify a single-level online Computer Based Recruitment Test, without a separate screening test. Technical Assistant has an examination annexure; the lecturer scheme and syllabus are to be specified in due course.
For preparation, use a separate checklist for each recruitment you intend to apply for. Note the syllabus topics, your strongest subjects and the areas requiring revision. Practising to the published examination duration can help you identify whether you need more subject study or faster question-solving.
