For all listed posts, the notice required Hindi or Sanskrit at matriculation level or higher. Because the available PDF’s extracted text contains OCR errors, candidates should rely on a clean copy of the official advertisement when interpreting exact eligibility wording.
Pay levels and age bands
| Post group | Pay level listed | Age band listed |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant Director | FPL-11, cell 1: ₹67,700–₹1,91,000 | 21–45 years, plus category relaxations |
| Senior Scientific Officer | FPL-9, cell 1: ₹53,100–₹1,67,800 | 20–45 years, plus category relaxations |
The extracted age provisions contain inconsistent reference dates, so the age calculation date and the applicable relaxation for an individual category should be confirmed from a clean official notice rather than inferred from this summary.
