How Many Vacancies Are There in SMKV Bastar Recruitment 2026?
The reservation is different for almost every post, so check the row for your own post rather than the total. There is no EWS category in these notices. Of the sixteen technical posts, fourteen have a single seat, and that seat is tied to one category. For example, Technical Assistant (Psychology) and Laboratory Technician (Chemistry) carry an ST seat only, Laboratory Technician (Mathematics) is for OBC only, and Laboratory Technician (Botany) is for SC only. A UR (unreserved) seat is open to every category, but an ST, SC or OBC seat is open only to that category.

What is the Eligibility for SMKV Bastar Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Technical Assistant, Research Assistant | Postgraduate degree in the subject, at least Second Division, plus 2 years’ experience on an equivalent post in a recognised institution |
| Laboratory Technician | Postgraduate degree in the same subject, at least Second Division |
| Accounts Assistant | Postgraduate degree in Commerce, at least Second Division, plus a one-year computer diploma |
| Laboratory Assistant (Education) | Graduate in Education, at least Second Division |
| Library Assistant | Graduate in Library & Information Science, at least Second Division |
| Data Entry Operator | Graduate, or 10+2 with a Modern Office Management (MOM) diploma from a Chhattisgarh-recognised polytechnic; plus a one-year computer diploma; plus Hindi and English typing at 8,000 key depressions per hour |
| Assistant Grade-3, Store Keeper | Same as Data Entry Operator, but Hindi or English typing at 5,000 key depressions per hour |
| Peon | Class 10 pass from a recognised board |
Read the typing line carefully, because it is the easiest place to go wrong: Data Entry Operator needs Hindi and English typing at 8,000, while Assistant Grade-3 and Store Keeper need Hindi or English at 5,000. The computer diploma must be from a Chhattisgarh-recognised institution, and the typing certificate must come from the Chhattisgarh typing and computer skill examination council. All qualifications must be complete by the last date, and certificates dated later will not be accepted. If you hold a postgraduate degree the technical posts suit you; a Class 10 pass can try the Peon post.
Age Limit
| Posts | Age as on 1 January 2026 |
|---|---|
| Technical and Clerical posts | 21 to 45 years |
| Peon | 18 to 45 years |
The upper limit of 45 years applies after all relaxations are included. Proof of age is the birth certificate or Class 10 marksheet.

What is the Salary for SMKV Bastar Non-Teaching Posts 2026?
| Post | Pay Level and Scale |
|---|---|
| Technical Assistant | Level-09, Rs. 9,300 to Rs. 34,800, Grade Pay Rs. 4,300 |
| Research Assistant | Level-08, Rs. 9,300 to Rs. 34,800, Grade Pay Rs. 4,200 |
| Laboratory Technician, Accounts Assistant, Data Entry Operator | Level-06, Rs. 5,200 to Rs. 20,200, Grade Pay Rs. 2,400 |
| Laboratory Assistant, Library Assistant, Assistant Grade-3, Store Keeper | Level-04, Rs. 5,200 to Rs. 20,200, Grade Pay Rs. 1,900 |
| Peon | Level-01, Rs. 4,750 to Rs. 7,440, Grade Pay Rs. 1,300 |
The notices give pay scales only and do not state an in-hand figure, so do not rely on any monthly salary number you see elsewhere. The gap between Level-09 for Technical Assistant and Level-01 for Peon is large, and so is the qualification gap. If you qualify for more than one post, compare the pay level with the competition before you choose.
