Post graduate govt job vacancies are announced regularly by UPSC, SSC, central and state universities, State Public Service Commissions, the RBI, NABARD and public sector banks, research councils such as CSIR, ICAR, and ICMR, central and state PSUs, and various ministries and autonomous bodies. Vacancy numbers and recruiting bodies change through the year, so it helps to follow a listing that is updated daily.

Applications are submitted through the recruiting organisation's official website - you register, enter your postgraduate degree, subject, and marks details, upload the required documents (degree certificate, marksheets, NET or SET certificate where applicable, category certificate, photo, signature), pay the application fee if applicable, and submit before the last date. Some academic and research recruitments also require a hard copy of the application, so check the official notification.

Candidates need a master's degree in a relevant discipline from a recognised university, and many posts specify a minimum percentage of marks. Teaching and research posts frequently require UGC NET, SET, or an equivalent qualification as per the applicable regulations. Age limits usually fall between 21 and 35 years depending on the post, with relaxation for reserved categories as per government norms - exact criteria vary by organisation and post.
