Overview
About this notification
Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission invites applications for twenty-three Agriculture Development Officer job-trainee positions under advertisement 63/9-2026. These are entirely backlog vacancies for wards of ex-servicemen: nineteen in the unreserved ward category, three for Himachal Scheduled Caste wards and one for Himachal Other Backward Class wards. This is a restricted recruitment; ordinary agricultural graduates without the required ward eligibility should not treat the unreserved wording as an open general vacancy. The academic requirement combines a four-year BSc Agriculture with a second-class MSc Agriculture from a recognized State or Central Government or ICAR institution. A first-class MSc and knowledge of Himachal’s customs and dialects are desirable. The standard age range is 18–45 on 1 January 2026, with the specified category and service provisions. Monthly fixed job-trainee remuneration is ₹29,500 under the state engagement scheme. Applications and online fee payment close at 11:59 PM IST on 22 October 2026. Register or log in on the actual HPPSC OTR portal, choose this advertisement and upload age proof, all degree and marks records and the relevant ex-serviceman-ward, category and domicile documentation. The examination fee is ₹600, non-refundable. Selection includes the advertised objective screening or descriptive subject-aptitude stage and personality test. Original documents are required for verification, and serving regular employees must produce an employer NOC. Check every reserved-category condition before paying and submitting.
