Qualification
Candidates wondering if they qualify for this recruitment can note that eligibility depends on three things — nursing qualification, council registration, and Uttarakhand domicile (for reservation benefits). The sections below break this down post code by post code. Educational Qualification All four post codes accept candidates holding any one of the following nursing qualifications from an Indian Nursing Council (INC) recognised institution: B.Sc. (Honours) in Nursing , B.Sc. Nursing (regular course) , Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing , or Diploma in General Nursing and Midwifery/Psychiatric Nursing . Whether a candidate's qualification falls under "diploma holder" or "degree holder" post codes depends on the nature of their original nursing programme, so candidates should match their qualification carefully against the official notification before selecting a post code. In addition to the nursing qualification, every applicant must have working knowledge of Hindi and a valid, renewed permanent registration certificate from the Uttarakhand Nurses and Midwives Council, Dehradun , issued on or before 2 July 2026 . Importantly, an NUI card or a mere receipt of registration application is not accepted — only the permanent registration certificate qualifies. A desirable (optional) qualification of either 2 years of Territorial Army service or an NCC 'B' or 'C' certificate can strengthen an application but is not mandatory. Age Limit (As on 1 July 2025) The age cut-off date for this recruitment is fixed at 1 July 2025 , not the application closing date. Candidates must be at least 21 years old and not older than 42 years as on that date, with relaxation available to specific reserved categories domiciled in Uttarakhand. Category Relaxation SC / ST / OBC (Uttarakhand) 5 years above maximum age PwBD (Differently Abled) 10 years above maximum age Ex-Servicemen (Uttarakhand) Military service period deducted; resultant age capped at 45 years Dependents of Freedom Fighters (Uttarakhand) 5 years Uttarakhand State Orphans As per claimed vertical category EWS No relaxation Only one age relaxation benefit applies per candidate, even if eligible for multiple categories , so candidates should claim the one most favourable to them rather than expecting cumulative relaxations. Domicile and Reservation Rules Reservation benefits — both vertical (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) and horizontal (PwBD, Ex-Servicemen, Freedom Fighter Dependents, Orphans, State Agitators, Skilled Sportspersons) — are available only to permanent residents of Uttarakhand . Candidates from outside Uttarakhand belonging to a reserved category elsewhere will be treated as unreserved here unless they hold a valid Uttarakhand domicile certificate. OBC candidates must additionally ensure their certificate is dated no earlier than 2 July 2023 (within 3 years of the application deadline) and excludes them from the creamy layer, while EWS candidates need an Income and Asset Certificate valid for FY 2026-27 . đ Never Miss a Govt Job Again! ⥠Get Custom Govt Job Alerts by Your Qualification (10TH | 12TH | Diploma | ITI | Graduate, Etc) Join Now
