Several posts also list desirable extras, such as experience of conducting examinations and keeping the academic calendar in a semester system for Registrar, a Ph.D. for Librarian and Joint Director Seed & Farm, campus planning for Director Work & Plant, seed production experience for the farm posts, and printing-press experience for Editor. Desirable and “preferably” items help in screening but are not compulsory. So if you lack the two years of works experience for an Assistant Engineer post, you can still apply.
The Registrar and senior posts suit post graduate candidates with long experience, while the two Assistant Engineer posts are a good match for engineering graduates in Civil or Electrical.

Your qualification, experience and age are all checked as on the closing date, 5 November 2026. A result that comes later will not help you.
