Vacancy and Category Analysis
| Post Name | UR | EBC | SC | Total | Female Only |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Educator (Part Time) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ✓ |
| Art & Craft cum Music Teacher | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ✓ |
| PT Instructor cum Yoga Trainer | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ✓ |
| Cook | 2 | 1 | 1 | 4 | ✓ |
| Helper cum Night Watchman | 2 | 1 | 1 | 4 | ✓ |
| House Keeper (Sweeper) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ✓ |
| Care Taker cum Vocational Instructor | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | ✓ |
| Total | 9 | 6 | 2 | 17 |
Competition ratio & category insight: With only 17 vacancies and a district‑wide eligible female population (estimated 500+ applicants considering 8th/10+2 qualification pool), the selection ratio could be roughly 1:30 to 1:40. EBC candidates have a significant advantage with 6 reserved posts out of 17 (35%), while SC has only 2 seats (11.7%). However, SC female candidates benefit from a higher age ceiling (42 years) for Cook, Helper, and House Keeper posts, reducing their competitor pool. The highest number of openings are in Cook (4) and Helper (4) – both 8th pass friendly. Teaching roles (Educator, Teacher, PT) have only 2 seats each, making them more competitive despite the higher honorarium of ₹10,000.
Salary and In-Hand Calculation
Important distinction: These are contract positions on fixed honorarium, not regular pay scale. Therefore, no DA, HRA, TA, or annual increments apply. The amount mentioned is the total monthly payment. No NPS, PF, or professional tax is deducted unless the district explicitly orders – so in‑hand is almost equal to the honorarium.
| Post Name | Fixed Honorarium per Month | Approx. In-Hand (No Deductions) |
|---|---|---|
| Educator (Part Time) | ₹10,000 | ₹10,000 |
| Art & Craft cum Music Teacher | ₹10,000 | ₹10,000 |
| PT Instructor cum Yoga Trainer | ₹10,000 | ₹10,000 |
| Cook | ₹9,930 | ₹9,930 |
| Helper cum Night Watchman | ₹7,944 | ₹7,944 |
| House Keeper (Sweeper) | ₹7,944 | ₹7,944 |
| Care Taker cum Vocational Instructor | ₹9,930 | ₹9,930 |
Comparison with regular government posts: Compared to a permanent 8th pass Group D employee in Bihar government (7th CPC Level‑1, basic ₹18,000 + DA + HRA → in‑hand ~₹28,000), this contract honorarium (₹7,944–₹10,000) is significantly lower. However, these are part‑time positions with flexible hours, suitable for local women looking for supplementary income or gaining experience. No city‑wise variation exists because the honorarium is uniform across posting locations within Bhagalpur.
Benefit beyond salary: Working in a government‑run girls home provides valuable experience and a reference for future permanent government contract bids. Additionally, the working environment is secure and follows child protection protocols.
Application Fee
There is no application fee for any category – UR, EBC, or SC. Candidates are not required to pay any amount while submitting the offline form. Beware of any fraudulent demands for fees.
Age Limit
| Post Category | Category | Minimum Age | Maximum Age | Relaxation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Educator, Teacher, PT Instructor, Care Taker | UR / EBC | 18 years | 40 years | None |
| Cook, Helper, House Keeper | UR / EBC | 18 years | 40 years | None |
| Cook, Helper, House Keeper | SC | 18 years | 42 years | +2 years |
Age calculation example: The cutoff date is 16 June 2026. A SC female candidate applying for Cook must have been born on or after 17 June 1984 (to be ≤42 years as on 16.06.2026). For UR/EBC candidates (max 40 years), birth date should be on or after 17 June 1986. No other age relaxation (OBC, PwD, etc.) is mentioned in the notification.
Eligibility Criteria – Qualification & Experience
| Post Name | Educational Qualification | Experience Required |
|---|---|---|
| Educator | 10+2 with D.El.Ed OR B.Ed from recognised university | 1 year teaching experience in school/institution |
| Art & Craft cum Music Teacher | 10+2 with Diploma/Degree in Art & Craft / Music | 1 year experience in school/institution |
| PT Instructor cum Yoga Trainer | 10+2 with Diploma/Degree in Yoga/Sports/Athletics/Physical Education | 1 year experience |
| Cook | 8th pass | 1 year experience in school/institution |
| Helper cum Night Watchman | 8th pass | No experience required |
| House Keeper (Sweeper) | 8th pass | No experience required |
| Care Taker cum Vocational Instructor | Matric (10th) + certificate course in Tailoring / Handicraft / Mobile Repairing / Basic Computer (Data Entry) | 1 year experience as Vocational Trainer/Instructor |
Most common eligibility mistake: For the Educator post, many candidates assume that a plain BA/BSc degree is sufficient. However, the notification clearly requires 10+2 with D.El.Ed or B.Ed. A graduate degree without B.Ed is not accepted. Also, final year students are not eligible because certificates must be submitted at the time of application.

The official notification does not prescribe a written examination. The selection will be based on the following stages:
