What Posts Are Available? – Amethi Vacancy & Eligibility 2026

Amethi has advertised 172 Anganwadi Worker seats in 13 Child Development Projects. Tiloi (25) and Jagdishpur (20) are the high-volume blocks. Jamo (7) and Shahgarh (8) are thin. A 12th-pass woman from Musafirkhana cannot use a Sangrampur vacancy. Residence is the real filter, not the district total.

Category totals in the original table: SC 44, OBC 52, Unreserved 76. The 05 September 2026 corrigendum changes reservation at three individual centres (see note under the table). Verify the centre code on the portal before you lock the form.

Gram sabha/ward lists with eligibility notes are pasted at the Collectorate (Vikas Bhawan), concerned tehsils, development blocks and Bal Vikas Pariyojana offices, and uploaded on the departmental website.

Your Intermediate, graduate and postgraduate percentages decide the shortlist

There is no written test in this recruitment. The merit score is built from academic percentages (Intermediate + graduate + postgraduate, where held). Document verification then checks residence, age, category and certificates. A weak Intermediate percentage is not rescued by interview preparation, because no interview is listed.

Qualification (same for all 172 seats): Intermediate or equivalent from a recognised board. Merit adds graduate and postgraduate percentages if those marksheets are uploaded.

Domicile: Permanent resident of the same ward or gram sabha as the vacant post. Only an SDM-issued residence certificate that can be verified online is accepted. Urban certificates must show the ward number.

What Is the Age Limit?

CategoryMinimumMaximumCut-off date
All applicants as printed in the notice18 years35 years01 July 2026

The Amethi notification prints a single band of 18–35 years. It does not print extra years for SC, ST, OBC or PwBD. Do not assume a higher ceiling unless a later official circular for this advertisement states it.

Date of birth is taken only from the High School marksheet or certificate.

Examples: ✅ A 34-year-old woman born on 02 July 1991 — eligible (within the 35-year limit as on 01 July 2026). ❌ A 36-year-old woman born on 01 July 1990 — not eligible (exceeds the maximum age by 1 year).

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.

What Is the Anganwadi Worker Honorarium in Uttar Pradesh?

  • Confirmed in the Amethi notice: engagement is on honorarium/contract (मानदेय/संविदा), not a 7th CPC regular post.
  • Not printed in the Amethi PDF: the monthly rupee figure, DA, HRA or NPS.

State-level rate (outside the district PDF, for context): In September 2026, the Uttar Pradesh government issued an order raising the Anganwadi Worker honorarium to ₹12,000 per month (from ₹8,000), effective September 2026 and payable in October 2026. Part of the state share is described as an additional fixed honorarium plus a variable performance-linked incentive. Helpers were raised separately to ₹6,000; that figure does not apply to this Worker notice.

Treat ₹12,000 as the current statewide Worker honorarium, not a figure copied from C-2615. Confirm the exact monthly credit from the engagement letter and the latest departmental GO.

There is no DA + HRA salary-slip maths here. This is not Level-3 or Level-4 regular pay. Attendance and performance-linked rules can affect what is actually credited. The September 2026 state announcement also spoke of cashless health cover up to ₹5 lakh a year and an extra saree allowance; those benefits sit in the state order, not in the Amethi vacancy table.

What Is the Application Fee?

No application fee is printed in notification C-2615 or corrigendum C-2667. The UP Anganwadi Worker portal process for this drive does not list a category-wise fee.

Do not pay anyone who calls or messages offering a “form fee” or “selection fee”.

How to Apply?

Applications are accepted only on the departmental portal. Registered post, courier and office-counter forms are rejected.

  1. Open the UP Anganwadi Bharti portal and go to the Anganwadi Worker registration page (open till 21 September 2026).
  2. Register with a working mobile number and email. Select Amethi and the exact project/gram sabha/centre of your residence.
  3. Enter Intermediate, graduate and postgraduate marks exactly as on the marksheet (obtained marks and full marks). Use our Marks to Percentage Calculator to cross-check the percentage before you type it.
  4. Upload photo, signature, educational marksheets, residence certificate, caste certificate, income certificate (if claimed), and widow/divorce/separation proof where relevant. Resize files with the Photo & Signature Resizer so the portal accepts them.
  5. Preview every field. The notice says incomplete, wrong or fabricated marks will cancel the application, and no offline correction letter will be accepted.
  6. Submit before midnight on 21 September 2026 and save the acknowledgement.

Suggested (not a notification rule): submit at least a day before the deadline so a portal spike does not lock you out.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Applying against a centre outside your own gram sabha or ward. The SDM residence certificate must match that unit.
  • Entering Intermediate or degree marks that do not match the uploaded marksheet. There is no offline correction window.
  • Using an income, caste or residence certificate issued in a parent’s or husband’s name. The notice accepts certificates only in the applicant’s name.
  • Uploading a BPL income certificate older than three years from 31 August 2026 and still claiming BPL. The notice treats that certificate as APL.
  • Ignore corrigendum C-2667 if your centre is Afoiya-2, Kishunpur Kawai-1 or Mungiganj.
  • Send papers by post to the DPO office. Offline papers are invalid.

आईसीडीएस अमेठी आंगनवाड़ी कार्यकत्री भर्ती 2026 – 172 पदों के लिए ऑनलाइन आवेदन

How Are Candidates Selected?

Selection is a chain of checks, not a single exam day.

  1. Online application with marks and documents on the portal.
  2. Merit score from academic percentages (formula below).
  3. Document verification of residence, age, category, education and special-status proofs.
  4. Committee decision on any vacancy or reservation mismatch.
  5. Engagement on honorarium/contract for the allotted centre.

The current notification does not mention an interview stage. Selection is based on academic merit plus document verification.

Merit formula (as printed):
Take Intermediate percentage (marks obtained ÷ full marks × 100) and divide by 10. Do the same for graduate and postgraduate marksheets if held. Add the three scores.

Worked example from the notice: Intermediate 300 out of 500 = 60%. 60 ÷ 10 = 6.00 weightage from Intermediate. A graduate score of 7.00 and a postgraduate score of 6.50 would give a combined 19.50.

Eligibility, qualification and merit follow GO No. 1/1092245/2025/3313/58-1-2025 (1917687) dated 17 September 2025.

Why Does ICDS Amethi Matter?

The Integrated Child Development Services unit in Amethi runs Anganwadi centres under the Women and Child Development department of Uttar Pradesh. Centres handle supplementary nutrition, pre-school activity, growth monitoring and health-referral work in villages and urban wards.

Women search “Amethi Anganwadi bharti”, “आंगनवाड़ी कार्यकत्री अमेठी” and “UP Anganwadi Worker 2026” because the seat is local, the form is free of a printed fee, and there is no written exam. A 12th-pass resident can compete without leaving the block.

The honest limit is the engagement itself. This is honorarium work tied to a centre, not a pensionable clerk or teacher cadre. Hours are typically morning pre-school and nutrition duty, with digital reporting on departmental apps. Transfers outside the allotted gram sabha are not the selling point of this notice.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

Amethi is running a large local Worker window while neighbouring districts such as Balrampur and Amroha have their own ICDS lists on the same portal. A candidate comparing tabs is usually choosing between this Amethi Worker list and another UP district Worker or Helper notice, not between Amethi and IBPS. Helper seats, where open in other districts, use a different portal path and a lower honorarium band.

Best fit: Women aged 18–35 who already live in the notified gram sabha or ward, hold Intermediate or higher marksheets, and want centre-level nutrition and pre-school work near home without sitting a written exam.

Skip this if you need a transferable, pensionable post or if you only have a city address in Lucknow or Sultanpur. Residence is checked at the ward and gram sabha level. A high postgraduate percentage does not override a mismatched SDM certificate.

Practical tip: Before you submit, open the 05 September 2026 corrigendum page and match your centre code (especially 9640110101, 9640020311, 9640020216). Then re-add Intermediate, graduate and postgraduate marks from the original marksheet. The notice makes the applicant responsible for wrong percentages, and the portal will not accept an offline correction letter.

What Documents Are Required for Uttar Pradesh Anganwadi Jobs?

Upload these on the portal. The selection committee will use only the files that are on the portal.

  • High School marksheet / certificate (date of birth)
  • Intermediate marksheet and certificate
  • Graduate and postgraduate marksheets, if claiming that weightage
  • Recent photograph and signature
  • SDM residence certificate, online-verifiable; ward number mandatory in urban areas
  • Caste certificate in the applicant’s name, if claiming reserved category
  • Income certificate from the Tehsildar, online-verifiable, if claiming BPL (rural ceiling ₹46,080 a year; urban ceiling ₹56,460 a year, as cited from the 2015 GO as amended)
  • Widow: death certificate from Gram Panchayat Officer or Nagar Nikay + certified family register copy
  • Divorced/separated: court order
  • Any other proof the portal form marks as mandatory for your category

Income, residence and caste certificates issued more than three years before the 31 August 2026 notification date: follow the rule printed in the notice. A BPL certificate older than three years is treated as APL.

What Happens After Selection?

  1. The district committee prepares a project-wise merit list from portal data and the published reservation roster, including the three corrected centres.
  2. Shortlisted women are called for document verification at the concerned Bal Vikas Pariyojana or district office. Bring originals of every file uploaded.
  3. Residence, age, category and mark entries are matched with High School and higher certificates. A mismatch can drop a name even after a high merit score.
  4. Subject to vacancies still being available, an honorarium/contract engagement order is issued for a specific Anganwadi centre in the same gram sabha or ward.
  5. The worker joins the centre, takes over nutrition, pre-school and growth-monitoring duty, and follows departmental reporting (including any smartphone / Poshan-tracker process then in force).
  6. Monthly honorarium is paid under ICDS / state rules. Attendance and any performance-linked portion decide the credited amount. This engagement does not by itself convert into a regular Group C post.

Expect several weeks between the last date and a stable merit list, based on how other UP district windows have moved on the same portal. Confirm dates only from DPO Amethi notices.

FAQs – ICDS Amethi Anganwadi Worker 2026

What is the last date to apply for ICDS Amethi Anganwadi Worker 2026?

21 September 2026, till midnight. Corrigendum C-2667 did not extend the date. Late portal entries are not accepted. Keep the acknowledgement saved on your phone.

What is the age limit for Amethi Anganwadi Worker posts?

18 to 35 years as of 01 July 2026. The district notice does not print extra years for reserved categories. Date of birth is taken only from the High School certificate.

Is there an exam for this Anganwadi Worker recruitment?

No. There is no written exam and no interview in the current notice. Merit is calculated from Intermediate, graduate and postgraduate percentages; then documents are verified.

What is the honorarium of an Anganwadi Worker in Uttar Pradesh?

The Amethi PDF only says honorarium/contract. The September 2026 state order sets the Worker honorarium at ₹12,000 per month, with a performance-linked part. Confirm the credited amount from the engagement letter.

Can final-year students apply for this recruitment?

Only if Intermediate is already completed. Minimum qualification is 12th pass or equivalent. A pending 12th result does not meet the printed eligibility. Graduate or postgraduate marksheets are extra weightage, not the entry gate.

Is the Amethi Anganwadi Worker post a permanent government job?

No. It is honorarium-based contractual engagement under ICDS. It is not a 7th CPC regular post with NPS or pension in this notification.

Can women from other districts apply for Amethi centres?

No. You must be a permanent resident of the same ward or gram sabha as the vacant centre. An SDM residence certificate for that unit is mandatory.

Where will I be posted after selection?

At the Anganwadi centre you applied against, inside that gram sabha or urban ward in Amethi district. This is neighbourhood work, not a transferable clerk posting.

Is Uttar Pradesh domicile enough for every Anganwadi centre?

No. Statewide domicile is not the test. The notice asks for permanent residence of the specific ward or gram sabha. A woman from Gauriganj cannot claim a Musafirkhana centre on district identity alone.

How is Anganwadi Worker merit calculated in Uttar Pradesh?

Each stage’s percentage is divided by 10. Intermediate 60% becomes 6 points. Graduate and postgraduate points, if any, are added. That total ranks applicants before document verification.

What are the disadvantages of an Anganwadi Worker role in Uttar Pradesh?

The honest downside is the service nature. Pay is an honorarium, not a regular pay matrix. Work stays at one centre, with nutrition, pre-school and reporting duty. Do not treat this list as a backdoor into a permanent teacher or clerk cadre.

How much do Anganwadi workers earn in Uttar Pradesh?

From September 2026, the state honorarium for Workers is ₹12,000 a month. Helpers are on a lower band. Actual credit can vary with attendance and the performance-linked portion. This is not comparable to ANM or staff nurse regular pay.

Do I need a computer certificate for Anganwadi jobs in Uttar Pradesh?

Not as a printed mandatory qualification in the Amethi notice. You still need to complete an online form and upload clear scans. Centres increasingly file daily data on departmental apps after joining.

Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?

  • You are a woman aged 18–35 years as on 01 July 2026.
  • You have Intermediate (12th) or equivalent, with marksheets ready.
  • You permanently live in the same gram sabha or ward as the vacant centre and hold an SDM residence certificate.
  • You accept honorarium-based ICDS work, not a regular pensionable post.
  • You can upload every certificate on the portal before midnight on 21 September 2026.
  • You have rechecked corrigendum C-2667 if your centre code is one of the three revised centres.
