Selection Priority for Sahayika-to-Karyakatri Posts

For the 50% Karyakatri posts reserved for internal promotion of Sahayikas, the order of priority is:

1. An eligible Sahayika of the same Anganwadi centre in the same Gram Sabha/Ward with a minimum of 5 years of regular service, minimum Intermediate qualification, and age not exceeding 50 years.
2. If not available, an eligible Sahayika from another Anganwadi centre within the same Gram Sabha/Ward, selected on merit.
3. If the 50% quota is not filled at the project level, remaining vacancies are filled at the district level following the same 50% principle.

Selection Priority for Direct Recruitment (Karyakatri and Sahayika)

Where posts are filled through open (direct) recruitment, the order of preference among eligible women of the same Gram Sabha/Ward is:

1. Widow from a family living below the poverty line (BPL)
2. Legally divorced or deserted woman from a BPL family

If no eligible candidate is found in the same Gram Sabha, category-wise selection is done from the concerned Nyaya Panchayat area following the same priority order.

Merit List Preparation

Where more than one eligible candidate is available in the same category, a merit list is prepared using the following formula:

Merit Score = Intermediate percentage + Graduation percentage + (Post-graduation percentage ÷ 10)

The percentage obtained is divided by 10 to arrive at the marks (for example, 45% in Intermediate = 4.5 marks). Marks obtained in grading/CGPA systems are also converted accordingly. Calculations are done up to three decimal places without rounding off. If candidates have equal marks, preference is given to the candidate with higher age; if age is also equal, preference is given to the candidate with higher educational qualification.

Reservation

Reservation for Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Other Backward Class (OBC) candidates is applicable as per applicable Uttar Pradesh government orders, and is applied post-wise/centre-wise as shown in the vacancy annexure.
