Important Dates

Candidates are advised to submit their offline applications well before 16 June 2026 to avoid postal delays. The last date is tentative; always check the official notice on bhagalpur.nic.in.

Vacancy and Category Analysis

EBC (Economically Backward Classes) candidates have 6 reserved posts, while SC have 2 seats (Cook and Helper). UR candidates compete for 9 positions. No ST or PwD reservation mentioned. With only 17 vacancies and a district‑level pool of eligible female candidates, the expected competition is moderate to high. Cook and Helper posts have the highest number of openings (4 each). SC female applicants benefit from lower age limit (42 years) for Cook, Helper, and House Keeper roles – a distinct advantage.

Salary and In-Hand Calculation

All posts are part‑time on fixed honorarium (not regular pay scale). No DA, HRA, or TA is applicable. The amount mentioned is the total monthly payment before any deductions (if applicable).

In‑hand clarity: Since these are contract honorarium posts, no NPS, PF, or professional tax is deducted unless specified by the district. Thus, in‑hand is nearly the same as the honorarium amount (≈ ₹7,944 to ₹10,000). Compared to a regular government employee at the same qualification level (e.g., primary teacher on 7th CPC Level‑4), this honorarium is significantly lower, but the working hours are part‑time. For local candidates in Bhagalpur, this can serve as supplementary income. No city‑wise variation exists as honorarium is fixed.

Application Fee

There is no application fee mentioned in the notification for any category (UR, EBC, SC). Candidates are not required to pay any amount at the time of submitting the offline application.

Age Limit

Age calculation will be based on the last date of application (16 June 2026). For example, a SC female candidate applying for Cook must be born on or after 17 June 1984 (to be ≤42 years as on 16.06.2026). No other relaxation (OBC/PwD) is mentioned.

Eligibility Criteria

Common mistake: For Educator post, having only a general graduation (BA/BSc) without B.Ed or D.El.Ed is not sufficient. The notification explicitly requires D.El.Ed or B.Ed along with 10+2. Final year students are not eligible because certificates must be submitted at the time of application.

Selection Process

The official notification does not detail a written exam. Based on standard district child protection unit recruitment, the selection will involve:

Stage 1: Shortlisting of Applications

All eligible applications will be screened based on educational qualification and experience. Candidates with higher relevant experience may be preferred.

Stage 2: Interview / Document Verification

Shortlisted candidates will be called for a personal interview at the Jila Bal Sanrakshan Unit, Bhagalpur. Original documents will be verified. No separate written test is mentioned.

Preparation tip: Prepare a detailed CV highlighting teaching or vocational training experience. Bring original 8th/10th/12th marksheets, D.El.Ed/B.Ed certificate, experience certificates, and caste certificate (if SC/EBC).
