Selection Process
The selection for Anganwadi Karyakatri and Sahayika posts is managed by a District-level Selection Committee, chaired by the Chief Development Officer or an Additional District Magistrate.
- Application Scrutiny – All online applications are thoroughly reviewed to ensure candidates meet the eligibility criteria.
- Merit List Preparation – A merit list is compiled for eligible candidates based on their academic performance.
- Document Verification – A committee verifies the original certificates and documents of selected candidates.
- Appointment Letter Issuance – Upon successful verification, appointment letters are issued by the District Programme Officer.
For internal promotion to Karyakatri posts (50% quota), priority is given to eligible Sahayikas from the same Anganwadi centre, then from other centres within the same Gram Sabha/Ward, based on merit.
For direct recruitment, preference is given to female candidates from the same Gram Sabha/Ward in the following order:
- Widows from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families.
- Legally divorced or deserted women from BPL families.
- Other women from BPL families.
- Widows from Above Poverty Line (APL) families.
- Legally divorced or deserted women from APL families.
- Other eligible women from APL families.
If no eligible candidate is found in the same Gram Sabha, the search extends to the concerned Nyaya Panchayat area following the same priority.
Merit List Calculation
When multiple eligible candidates are available in the same category, a merit list is prepared using a specific scoring formula.
Merit Score = Intermediate percentage + Graduation percentage + (Post-graduation percentage ÷ 10)
Each percentage is divided by 10 to convert it into marks (e.g., 45% becomes 4.5 marks). Scores are calculated up to three decimal places without rounding. In case of a tie in marks, the older candidate is given preference; if age is also equal, the candidate with a higher educational qualification is preferred.
Reservation for Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Other Backward Class (OBC) candidates is applied according to Uttar Pradesh government orders, specific to each post and centre.
Documents Required for Application
Applicants must upload clear, self-attested scanned copies of essential documents during the online application process.
- High School (Class 10) mark sheet/certificate (for date of birth proof).
- Intermediate (Class 12) mark sheet/certificate (mandatory minimum qualification).
- Graduation and Post-graduation mark sheets (if applicable, for merit calculation).
- Online digitally signed residence (निवास) certificate from the concerned Tehsil.
