Qualification and Experience

• Only relevant experience gained after the minimum qualifying degree is counted.
• The prescribed qualifications are the minimum. Meeting them does not by itself mean a candidate will be called for interview.
• The minimum qualification and/or experience can be relaxed for exceptionally outstanding candidates.
• The Institute may, at its discretion, relax the experience requirement for Scheduled Caste / Scheduled Tribe candidates. This applies if the competent authority, at any stage of selection, finds that enough candidates from these communities with the required experience are not likely to be available to fill the vacancy reserved for them.
• The crucial date for checking eligibility, in every respect, is the closing date for online applications (4 November 2026).
