Who can apply?
A readable first check—not a legal eligibility decision.
Basic eligibility paths
- Under ESIC's 2022 UDC/Stenographer/MTS advertisement, a candidate for Upper Division Clerk needed a recognised degree and working computer knowledge, and a candidate for Stenographer needed Class 12 plus 80 words-per-minute dictation speed; the current cycle's notice will restate the qualifications and its own crucial date.
- That advertisement made the closing date of the online application the crucial date for age, essential qualification and category status — confirm the equivalent cut-off in whichever notice is current.
- Confirm nationality, category-certificate format and PwBD functional-requirement rules in the official current-cycle notice before applying.
Relaxations & certificates
- SC/ST, OBC-NCL, PwBD and ex-servicemen relaxations follow the applicable notification.
- Always check the certificate format and cut-off date in the official notice.
If your degree title, age, domicile or category certificate is unusual, mark yourself “check required” and read the official wording.
