✍️ Editor's Note
While the eligibility criteria mention a 10th-grade qualification, note that Assistant Jail Superintendent roles typically mandate a higher graduation degree. Candidates often get disqualified for minor errors in the form correction window; ensure your document uploads match your ID proofs exactly before the April 30th deadline to avoid rejection. Since this is a combined recruitment, prioritize which post you qualify for based on the age criteria, as Jail Superintendent has a higher minimum age threshold compared to the Forest Guard posts.
