Eligibility Criteria 2026

Educational Qualification (as on 01.07.2026)

The onus of proving recognition of educational qualification (such as an Intermediate or SSC certificate or its equivalent) by the State Government rests solely with the candidate, in case of doubt.

Medical Standards

Candidates must have sound health and be free from bodily defects. Visual standards require Distant Vision 6/6 in both eyes and Near Vision 0/5 (Snellen) in both eyes, with full field of vision in each eye. Colour blindness, squint, or any morbid condition of the eye/lids is a disqualification. Physically handicapped candidates, and those with conditions such as knocking-knees, pigeon chest, flat feet, varicose veins, or hammer toes, are not considered for these posts.

Age Limit (as on 01.07.2026)

Age Relaxation

The prescribed age limits are not relaxed under any circumstances beyond what is specified. SLPRB does not validate age in the online application form due to the number of relaxation categories — the responsibility for checking age eligibility rests entirely with the candidate.
