How Many Vacancies are in Balodabazar Zila Panchayat Recruitment 2026? Post-wise Seats
The reservation is different for every post, so check the row of the post you want.
| Post | Category-wise Vacancies | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Programme Officer (Janpad level) | UR 2 / SC 1 / OBC 0 / ST 0 | 3 |
| Accountant (Janpad level) | UR 0 / OBC 0 / SC 1 / ST 1 | 2 |
| Assistant Programmer (Janpad level) | UR 0 / OBC 0 / SC 1 / ST 0 | 1 |
| Computer Programmer (District level) | UR 1 / OBC 0 / SC 0 / ST 0 | 1 |
| Total | 7 |
Please note this carefully. Accountant has no Unreserved seat (one SC and one ST seat), and Assistant Programmer has only one SC seat. No post has an OBC seat. The Computer Programmer seat is Unreserved. A reserved-post applicant must attach a permanent caste certificate from the competent authority.
So before you buy envelopes and stamps, match your own category with the seat. A general-category B.Com graduate, for example, cannot apply for Accountant here at all, however good the marks are. On the other hand, an SC candidate with a first-division B.E. in Computer Science or IT fits the rules for both the Programme Officer and Assistant Programmer seats.
What is the Eligibility for Balodabazar Zila Panchayat Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Required Qualification |
|---|---|
| Programme Officer | First Division in MBA / B.E. / MRTM (Master of Rural Technology and Management) / post-graduation in Mathematics or Physics |
| Accountant | B.Com with 55% marks (50% for SC and ST); for Bastar and Surguja divisions, B.Com passed in Second Division |
| Assistant Programmer | M.Sc. (Computer Science / IT) or MCA or equivalent, OR B.E. / B.Tech in Computer Science / IT or equivalent, from a recognised university |
| Computer Programmer | First Division B.E. Computer Science / MCA / M.Sc. (Computer Science) / B.E. (IT); knowledge of Data Net Technology (.NET), Java, MS SQL or Oracle gets preference |
The Hindi wording for Programme Officer is a little loose, so if your degree is borderline, read that post’s PDF once yourself. If you are a post-graduate looking for government jobs, three of these four posts fit your profile.
Experience is not part of the minimum qualification. But it earns extra merit marks, and only work in Government rural development schemes on at least an equal pay scale is counted.
Domicile
You must be a domicile (mool niwasi) of Chhattisgarh. Attach a self-attested copy of the Chhattisgarh residence certificate issued by the competent authority.
Age Limit
| Category | Age Limit (as on 01/01/2026) |
|---|---|
| All candidates | 21 to 35 years |
| Govt servants, Nigam/Mandal and contract employees, Nagar Sainik | Up to 45 years |

Further age relaxation applies as per the General Administration Department instructions issued from time to time for local residents of Chhattisgarh and various categories. Count your age as on 1 January 2026, not on the day you post the form. If you are already working on contract in a government office or as a Nagar Sainik, the higher limit of 45 years can open this door for you, so keep proof of that service ready with your form.
What is the Salary in Balodabazar Zila Panchayat Recruitment 2026?

What is the Selection Process for Zila Panchayat Balodabazar Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Merit list | All applications are ranked on qualification marks and experience marks |
| Skill test | Computer practical test; if applications are many, 10 candidates per post are called in merit order |
| Final selection list | Qualification, experience and skill test marks are added |
| Waiting list | Next candidates are kept for one year to fill any future vacancy |
The marks out of 100 are split like this for each post.
| Post | Component | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Programme Officer | Minimum qualification | 70 |
| Programme Officer | Computer practical test | 15 |
| Programme Officer | Experience (1-2 / up to 5 / above 5 years) | 5 / 10 / 15 |
| Accountant | Higher Secondary percentage | 20 |
| Accountant | Minimum qualification | 50 |
| Accountant | Computer practical test | 15 |
| Accountant | Experience (1-2 / up to 5 / above 5 years) | 5 / 10 / 15 |
| Assistant Programmer | Minimum qualification percentage | 45 |
| Assistant Programmer | Computer and practical test (minimum 60% mandatory) | 40 |
| Assistant Programmer | Experience (1-2 / up to 5 / above 5 years) | 5 / 10 / 15 |
| Computer Programmer | Minimum qualification percentage | 70 |
| Computer Programmer | Computer and practical test | 15 |
| Computer Programmer | Knowledge of .NET / Java / MS SQL / Oracle | 5 |
| Computer Programmer | Experience (up to 2 / above 2 years) | 5 / 10 |
For Assistant Programmer, scoring below 60% in the computer test puts you out. For Accountant, your 12th marks also count. Practise basic computer work before the test. For Computer and IT government jobs, this skill test style is very common.
Since your degree percentage carries the biggest share, a candidate with higher marks starts well ahead. The skill test is where you can still close the gap, so do not take it lightly.
