Eligibility Criteria for Anganwadi Worker
For the post of Anganwadi Worker / Sangini, the candidate must be a domicile of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. Only women candidates in the age group of 18 to 37 years are eligible to apply. The candidate should also be a resident of the electoral ward where the Anganwadi Centre is located. The name in the voter list of that ward will be treated as proof of residence.
The minimum educational qualification for Anganwadi Worker is 10+2, and the maximum qualification allowed is graduation. Candidates with qualification higher than graduation will not be considered for the Anganwadi Worker post. Selection for Anganwadi Worker will be based on marks obtained in 10+2, and the selection will be made purely on merit.
Eligibility Criteria for Anganwadi Helper
For the post of Anganwadi Helper / Sahayika, selection is restricted to the electoral ward where the Anganwadi Centre is located. Women candidates aged 18 to 37 years are eligible, and the candidate must be a domicile of J&K.
The minimum qualification for Anganwadi Helper is matriculation. However, if no matriculate candidate is available in the ward, then candidates with qualification not less than 8th standard may be considered. This makes the Anganwadi Helper post useful for 8th-pass women candidates, but only under the condition that no matriculate candidate is available in the concerned ward.
Selection Process
For Anganwadi Worker, selection will be made on a merit basis using the marks obtained in 10+2. If there is a tie in merit, the candidate with higher age will be preferred. The notice also states that if an eligible candidate is available within the family of a retiring Anganwadi Worker, that candidate may get an additional two percentage points.
For Anganwadi Helper, the selection is limited to the same electoral ward where the Anganwadi Centre is situated. Candidates must meet the domicile, age, residence, and qualification conditions mentioned in the official advertisement.
Documents Required
Shortlisted candidates will have to appear for document verification with original documents and self-attested photocopies.

Important Points for Candidates
Candidates should not treat this as a general open vacancy for all areas of Jammu & Kashmir. The posts are linked with specific Anganwadi Centres and electoral wards under POSHAN Project Batwara.
