Selection Process

All applications are first checked for eligibility and required documents. An application is rejected if details are missing, required certificates are not attached, the essential qualification is not met, or the information is false or misleading. Valid applications are then scored out of 100 marks.

• If your marks are in CGPA or grades, they are turned into a percentage using the conversion formula set by your board or university.
• No extra marks are given for a postgraduate or higher qualification. No extra marks are given for more than one degree or qualification at the same level.
• Training length is counted by the full training days written on the certificate.
• Only training certificates from these bodies are accepted: the Directorate of Agriculture and Horticulture under the Agriculture Department, the Krishi Vigyan Kendras of Birsa Agricultural University, and the ATMA office.
• If the selection committee thinks it is needed, it may hold a practical test of bicycle riding and tree climbing after the provisional merit list.

• The merit list will be prepared category-wise under the reservation rules. The final list will be published on dumka.nic.in and on the office notice board.
