Selection Process

Salary and Benefits

Both vigyaptis describe the engagement as mandeya aadharit (sanvida) — honorarium-based and contractual — but neither document states the honorarium amount, the pay scale or any allowance. No salary table is shown here because inventing a figure would be misleading. Candidates should check the honorarium payable under the prevailing Uttar Pradesh ICDS rules on the departmental portal.

How to Apply

1. Open the official portal upanganwadibharti.in and go to the Important Links section on the home page.
2. Choose the correct registration link for your post — Anganwadi Worker (Karyakatri) Vacancy Registration or Anganwadi Helper (Sahayika) New Registration. The two posts use separate registration modules, so registering on the wrong one means your application will not count.
3. Register with your name, father’s name, district (select Gorakhpur), mobile number, Aadhaar number, email and password, and complete the captcha.
4. Log in and fill the application form carefully and correctly, selecting the Gram Sabha or ward in which you actually reside, and enter the application or registration numbers and issue dates of your income, caste and domicile certificates exactly as printed on them.
5. Upload clean, readable self-attested scanned copies of all the records mentioned in the online form, then submit the form and save a copy for your reference before 05.10.2026, 12:00 midnight.

Note: No application, record or document sent offline or by post is accepted at any level. If the application contains any error, or any fact, figure or marks and maximum marks of the educational records are found wrong or forged, the candidature will be cancelled.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Applying against a Gram Sabha or ward where you do not actually reside — residence in that same Gram Sabha (rural) or same ward (urban) is compulsory, and this is the single most common reason applications are rejected.
• Registering on the wrong module — the Karyakatri (Worker) and Sahayika (Helper) posts have separate registration links on the portal, so use the one matching the post you want.
• Entering a wrong application number, registration number or issue date for your income, caste or domicile certificate — the portal verifies these online, and a wrong entry cancels the candidature automatically with the candidate alone responsible.
• Using a date of birth from any document other than your High School marksheet or certificate.
• Submitting a caste or residence certificate that was not issued online from the Tehsil with a digital signature, since such a certificate cannot be verified online.
• Sending the form or any document offline or by post — nothing is accepted in hard copy at any level.
• Believing any tout or agent who promises selection for money — both vigyaptis specifically warn candidates to stay away from such people, as the whole selection runs through the portal.
