🧮 CAN I APPLY? THREE QUICK EXAMPLES
  • A graduate born 15.08.1991 with 3 years as Assistant (Level 6) in a central government office, applying for Section Officer. On 11.12.2026 this person is 35 years 3 months old, under the 40-year limit, and the experience rule is met. ✅ Eligible on age and experience, if computer, noting and drafting skills are also there.
  • A regular JMI employee born 02.02.1980 with more than 3 years of regular service. On 11.12.2026 this person is 46 years old. Regular JMI staff with 3 years of service have no upper age limit. ✅ Eligible on age, because of that rule.
  • An outside candidate born 01.12.1985 who is not in any relaxation category. On 11.12.2026 this person is 41 years and 10 days old, which is over the 40-year limit. ❌ Not eligible on age, by a little over a year.
These are made-up examples that apply the rules in the tables above. Ages are counted on 11.12.2026.

Who Should Apply

  • These are regular posts with Pay Level 1 to 13, and most of them ask for years of work in a government office, a university or a similar body. Section Officer, Assistant, UDC and Accountant, for example, are meant for people who already work as clerks or assistants.
  • No experience is asked for 8 posts: Hindi Typist (2), Urdu Typist (4) and Horticulture Assistant (2). Plumber (3), Carpenter (5) and Mason (1) need no experience either if you have 10+2 and the matching ITI certificate, which makes 17 posts (20%) open to fresh candidates.
  • The Internal Audit Officer, Superintendent Engineer and Executive Engineer posts (3 posts) are for serving officers sent from other government bodies on deputation, not for outside applicants.
  • Hindi and Urdu knowledge counts as a plus for every post, but it is essential for Accountant, Land Record Superintendent, Land Record Keeper and Sanitary Inspector.
  • If you applied for a starred post under Advt. No. 02/2025-26, you must apply afresh. You will not pay the fee again if you attach your earlier receipt or post slip.

Who should skip this: anyone who cannot post or deliver a printed form by 21.12.2026, because the printed copy is compulsory and JMI is not responsible for postal delays. Government and PSU employees who cannot get an NOC from their employer should also skip it, as the notice cancels the candidature without one. Applicants without the years of experience a post asks for should look at the 17 posts that do not need any.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Treating the online form as the finish line. The printed copy with self-attested documents must reach JMI by 21.12.2026, and a late or incomplete copy is rejected.
  • Using one form for two posts. Each post needs its own form and its own fee, and the fee is not refunded.
  • Forgetting the NOC if you already work in a government office, PSU or autonomous body. Without it your candidature is cancelled.
  • Leaving the top-left of the cover blank. Write the post applied for, the advertisement number and its date there.
  • Not checking your experience before paying. Applications are accepted provisionally, and a claim that cannot be proved can cancel your candidature at any stage.
  • Sending experience certificates without the post, joining date, period and pay level. The notice asks for all four.
