Eligibility — and the Key Residency Rule
You must have passed 10+2 (Intermediate) from a recognised board, and be a resident of the village/ward/Nyaya Panchayat you apply to. The age limit is 18 to 35 years, with relaxation as per UP government rules. Residency for the exact area is the single most important condition — a mismatched residence certificate is the most common reason for rejection.
Merit-Based Selection — No Written Exam
Selection is through a merit list based on your 10+2 marks — there is no written examination. Your preparation is therefore administrative: a correct 10+2 marksheet, a valid residence certificate for the exact village/ward, and a complete, error-free application. Apply at upanganwadibharti.in before your district's deadline.
