| Specialist – preferred experience | PG Degree with 3 years’ experience, or PG Diploma with 5 years’ experience in the specialty after PG (preferred, based on availability of applicants) |

Experience after the PG degree or diploma is counted as on the date of interview, and the certificate must be signed by the Head of Department, showing the period and nature of work. Experience can be relaxed at the appointing authority’s discretion for otherwise well-qualified candidates, and for SC/ST candidates as per Government of India guidelines.
