| Category | Application Fee (₹) |
| General / EWS / OBC | 500 |
| SC / ST | 400 |
Candidates from the General, Economically Weaker Section (EWS), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) must pay ₹500, while those from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) pay ₹400. Payment is to be completed online before the deadline (by September 11, 2025).
Age Limit and Eligibility
Eligibility criteria include age, nationality, and other factors. The key requirements are summarized below:
| Criteria | Requirement |
| Age (General) | 21 to 28 years (as on 1 July 2025) |
| Age Relaxation | Applicable as per rules (for reserved categories) |
| Nationality | Indian citizen |
| Domicile | UP domicile preferred (for reservation benefits) |
| Gender | Both male and female candidates |
Candidates must have been born between 2 July 1997 and 1 July 2004 (inclusive) for the general category age bracket. Age relaxations apply to OBC, SC/ST, ex-servicemen, etc., as per the government norms. Only Indian citizens are eligible; those domiciled in Uttar Pradesh will receive state-reservation benefits. Both male and female candidates may apply, though specific posts (e.g. women’s battalion SI) are reserved for female applicants.
Educational Qualification and Preferential Qualifications
- Basic Qualification: Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree (graduation) in any discipline from a recognized university or its equivalent. (Final-year students or those awaiting results are not eligible.) The graduation degree certificate must be uploaded with the application. If the degree certificate is not available at the time of application, the provisional certificate or, alternatively, mark sheets of all semesters may be uploaded. However, candidates must carry the original degree certificate for verification during the selection process.
- Important Points: It is mandatory to upload proof of graduation. If only mark sheets are uploaded (in lieu of the degree), the original degree must be produced at the time of document verification. Failure to produce the required certificates will lead to disqualification.
- Preferential Qualifications (Not Mandatory): While not essential, candidates who possess any of the following qualifications will be given preference:
- NIELIT ‘O’ Level Certificate: A pass in the ‘O’ Level (formerly DOEACC ‘O’ Level) computer course.
- Territorial Army Service: A minimum of two years of service in the Territorial Army.
- NCC ‘B’ Certificate: Holding a ‘B’ certificate from the National Cadet Corps.
These preferences may enhance the candidate’s profile but are not substitutes for the mandatory graduation requirement.
