Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

Staff Assistant candidates need a graduation degree in any discipline from a recognized university, along with working knowledge of English, Telugu, and basic computer skills.

Candidates should also note that each DCCB accepts applications only from local candidates of that erstwhile district, so it's worth checking the domicile rules in the official notification before applying.

The selection process is limited to a written exam, document verification, and a medical check, without an interview round, which keeps the process relatively straightforward.
