Eligibility
This recruitment runs on a special route: ITPO will prepare the merit list from the marks and rank secured by candidates in specific SSC 2024 examinations (GATE for Architecture), not through a fresh ITPO written test.
| Post | SSC / GATE Exam You Must Have Appeared In |
|---|---|
| Senior Assistant (Civil, Electrical) | SSC Junior Engineer (Civil, Mechanical & Electrical) Examination 2024 |
| Assistant (Accounts), Junior Assistant | SSC CGL 2024 |
| Junior Stenographer | SSC Stenographer Grade “C” Examination 2024 |
| Senior Assistant (Architecture) | GATE 2024, 2025 or 2026 (Architecture and Planning, paper AR) with qualifying cut-off marks |
For the SSC route, you must have been not finally recommended in that examination and must have opted to disclose your details under the disclosure scheme. The degree alone is not enough — you need the right degree and the right SSC or GATE record. Keep your SSC mark sheet or GATE scorecard ready, because it has to be uploaded with the form.
| Post | Educational Qualification | Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Senior Assistant (Civil) | Degree or Diploma in Civil Engineering | 1 year (for diploma holders only) |
| Senior Assistant (Electrical) | Degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering | 1 year (for diploma holders only) |
| Senior Assistant (Architecture) | Degree or Diploma in Architecture | 1 year (for diploma holders only) |
| Assistant (Accounts) | B.Com. (2nd Division) with working knowledge of computers | 2 years in Finance / Accounts |

| Junior Assistant | Bachelor’s degree (at least 2nd Division) with office computer skills | 2 years post-qualification in files / data entry |
Degrees through open or distance learning are accepted. Marks must be given as a percentage to two decimals — rounding off is not accepted. Knowing a foreign language other than English is only desirable for the Senior Assistant posts, not mandatory.
