UP Anganwadi Worker Qualification

The minimum educational qualification for the Anganwadi Karyakatri post is Intermediate (12th) or an equivalent qualification. Merit will be prepared based on marks scored from Intermediate up to Postgraduate level, wherever a candidate holds a higher qualification.

The merit/weightage formula given in the notification works as follows: the percentage of marks obtained in Intermediate (marks obtained divided by full marks) is itself divided by 10 to arrive at a score. For example, if the full marks are 500 and a candidate scores 300, that is 60%; dividing 60 by 10 gives a weightage of 6 marks for Intermediate. The same method is applied separately for Graduate and Postgraduate marks (where applicable), and the scores from Intermediate, Graduate, and Postgraduate are added together to form the final merit/weightage.

UP Anganwadi Worker Age Limit

As on 1 July 2026, the applicant's age must not be less than 18 years and not more than 35 years.
