How to verify your own eligibility
- Open the latest official notice for the correct year.
- Find your post or post group before applying a general rule.
- Compare your result date and subjects with the qualification cut-off.
- Calculate age on the notice’s reckoning date—not on today’s date.
- Check category, physical, medical, skill, licence or experience conditions.
- Keep the original certificates and matching details ready for document verification.
Eligibility is not the same for every post
Multi-Tasking Staff posts and Havaldar posts in CBIC/CBN or other organisations named in the notice. A candidate can be eligible for one post but not another within the same examination. Post preference must therefore follow eligibility, job requirements and document readiness.

Eligibility FAQs
Can final-year candidates apply?
Only when the notice permits it and the candidate possesses the required qualification by the stated cut-off date.
Does registration confirm eligibility?
No. OTR or a submitted form does not replace post-wise eligibility verification.
Which document date matters?
The notice states the qualification and age cut-offs. Read those clauses together with certificate-format instructions.
