There is no formal educational qualification requirement – candidates must only be able to speak Kannada, supported by a self-declaration. Eligibility is open to Indian citizens aged 18 to 50 years as on 31 July 2026.

Important Note: Four things every candidate must understand clearly before applying. First, this is a Neravu Paavathi (wage-basis) appointment – it is temporary in nature and does not entitle the holder to regularisation, pension, or permanent employee benefits whether by administrative order or court order. Selected candidates must submit a written undertaking on stamp paper acknowledging this. Second, the Karnataka Reservation Act applicable to direct recruitment does not apply to Neravu Paavathi appointments – there is no caste-based reservation for these 102 posts. Third, applications are accepted only for the Nagarasabhe where you are currently working or resident – candidates cannot apply to a Nagarasabhe in a different area. Fourth, priority will be given to candidates with at least one year of prior experience in the concerned Nagarasabhe as a Pourakarmika, Loader, UGD Helper, Driver, or waste-management worker. Such experience must be proven with a bank passbook showing ESI/PF or wage credit and attendance records certified by the Pourayukta.
