Special relaxation: By an order dated 23 March 2026, the Ministry of Education has relaxed the qualifying service/experience by two years for the Deputy Secretary and Under Secretary posts, as a one-time measure. Officers holding analogous posts may also be considered, subject to their having experience of working with quasi-judicial bodies.
On the age limit: No maximum age limit is printed for any post in the circular or its annexure, so this article does not state one. Readers should rely only on the official circular.
