There is only one SC seat in the whole recruitment (Lower Division Clerk, South Goa), and the Upper Division Clerk and Multi Tasking Staff posts carry no SC seat at all.

Horizontal reservation is inside these totals:

| North Goa (UDC, LDC, MTS; 48 in all) | 1 post for Sportsmen; 2 posts for PwD |
| South Goa (LDC, MTS; 46 in all) | 1 post for Sportsmen; 2 posts for PwD |
In each office, the 2 PwD posts are split as 1 for deaf and hard of hearing and 1 for locomotor disability (including cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims and muscular dystrophy). The notice does not give a post-wise split of these.
What Is the Eligibility for Goa Collectorate Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Essential Requirement |
|---|---|
| Upper Division Clerk | Bachelor’s Degree from a recognized university; 1 year experience in administrative work; minimum 6 months computer certificate course; knowledge of Konkani |
| Lower Division Clerk | Higher Secondary School Certificate from a recognized Board (or AICTE-approved course under a State Board of Technical Education, or an equivalent qualification); computer knowledge with typing speed of 30 words per minute in English; at least 1 year working experience; knowledge of Konkani |
| Multi Tasking Staff | Secondary School Certificate from a recognized Board/Institution, OR an ITI certificate course in a relevant trade; at least 1 year working experience; knowledge of Konkani |
Marathi is desirable for all three posts. For Multi Tasking Staff, knowledge of operating office machines, including computers, is also desirable. The experience for Lower Division Clerk and Multi Tasking Staff is “in accordance with the instructions or orders issued by the Government”, and the notice does not name the field of work. PwD candidates are exempted from the essential experience under a Department of Personnel order dated 08/09/2026.
Do not skip the Konkani line. It is an essential requirement for every post, and the paper itself carries 15% marks for the Konkani language, so a candidate who is weak in it loses marks as well. Also note that the experience of one year must be in hand on the cut-off date, not after it.
