What is the Eligibility for TNSRLM Thoothukudi Block Coordinator 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Route | What You Need |
|---|---|
| Route 1 | Any Bachelor’s degree pass + a Computer MS Office certificate course of at least 3 months |
| Route 2 | A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Computer Application |
| Preference | Candidates with a computer-software-related educational qualification get preference |
| Licence | Must hold a two-wheeler driving licence |
So a B.A., B.Sc. or B.Com. holder is eligible too, as long as she also has the 3-month MS Office certificate. If you are a graduate looking for a government job close to home, check that your computer certificate clearly shows the course length. The two-wheeler licence is not optional — the notice lists it as a qualification. Candidates with a software background can also browse our computer and IT job listings.
Experience
You need at least five years of experience in schemes run through people’s organisations (community-based groups such as self-help groups and their federations). This is the condition most applicants will find hardest. Keep proof of your experience ready, because a degree alone will not make you eligible.
Ask the office or scheme you worked under for a letter that shows your start and end dates clearly.
Age Limit
| Requirement | Age (as on 01 July 2026) |
|---|---|
| Minimum Age | Must have completed 18 years |
