Who Is Eligible for DHEW Chennai Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification and Experience
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Gender Specialist | Graduate in Social Work, Social Disciplines, Life Sciences or a related social science field. Postgraduate degree preferred. Minimum 3 years with government or non-government organisations, on gender themes, community mobilisation or women’s empowerment |
| Specialist in Financial Literacy | Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Banking or a similar discipline. Postgraduate degree preferred. Minimum 3 years with government or non-government organisations, on financial literacy and financial inclusion |
| Account Assistant | Graduate degree, or a diploma in accounts, or another discipline with accounts studied as a subject. Minimum 3 years with government or non-government organisations in a related field |
| IT Assistant for Mission Shakti | Graduation with working knowledge of computers or IT. Minimum 3 years, including data management, process documentation and web-based reporting, at State or District level with government, NGO or IT-based organisations |
| Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) | At least SSLC (10th) pass. Must read and write English and Tamil. Basic computer knowledge and typing needed |
Four of the five posts need 3 years of work experience, so a fresh graduate cannot apply for them. Match your experience to the theme of the post. General office experience will not do for Gender Specialist, which asks for gender, community mobilisation or women’s empowerment work. If you are a graduate, see more roles on our graduate govt jobs page.
For the MTS post, the notice gives preference to widows, destitute women and unmarried women. It is a preference, not a bar, so other eligible candidates can still apply. The MTS post also asks you to read and write both English and Tamil, so a candidate who knows only one of the two languages should not apply. If you have only passed class 10, check our 10th pass govt jobs page as well.
Age Limit
| Post | Upper Age Limit |
|---|---|
| All five posts | 35 years |
The notice does not state the date on which age is counted, a minimum age or any age relaxation. Keep your date of birth proof ready and check the application form for more detail. The limit of 35 years is the same for all five posts, so it does not matter which post you choose. If you are close to 35, work out your exact age with the calculator below before you spend time on the form.

How Much Is the Salary for DHEW Chennai Posts?
The notice gives a fixed, consolidated monthly pay for each post.
- Gender Specialist and Specialist in Financial Literacy: Rs 21,000 per month
- Account Assistant and IT Assistant for Mission Shakti: Rs 20,000 per month

These are contract jobs, not permanent posts. Think about this before you leave a stable job. The pay is lower for the support posts and higher for the two specialist posts, so choose the post that matches your experience, not just the highest figure. The notice does not mention a contract period, so ask for it before you accept an offer.
What Is the Selection Process for DHEW Chennai Posts?
The notice does not describe how candidates will be chosen. It does not name a written test, interview or merit list, and it gives no marks or weightage. Do not assume any particular method. Check the application form on the district website for further steps.
