District-level Rural Development and Panchayat Raj recruiting office, Vellore, Tamil Nadu.
Recruitment-specific overview from the published record.
The Vellore District Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) administration has invited applications for one Record Clerk (பதிவறை எழுத்தர்) post in the government establishment. This is an unusually specific district-level vacancy: the official reservation entry is Adi Dravidar (General), non-priority, equivalent to its printed Scheduled Caste category; it is not an open one-seat UR recruitment. The actual advertisement is file பஅ5/4470/2026 dated 24 October 2026. The Vellore district recruitment page lists the PDF and the prescribed two-page application form starting 28 October 2026. These two dates describe different things and should not be merged into a fabricated 28 October signature date.
The signed notice, in Tamil, and the separate Tamil application are the controlling sources. A candidate should compare the printed caste/priority entry, age-reckoning date and educational wording with original documents before spending money on postage. The basic educational condition expressly reads 'Class 10 pass/fail' (பத்தாம் வகுப்பு தேர்ச்சி/தோல்வி). An applicant who did not pass Class X should not be automatically marked ineligible merely because recruitment portals often presume a tenth-pass requirement. The form nevertheless asks for education details and proof. The authority makes the final documentary decision.

A single unreserved competition or 100%-SC pie chart would conceal this vacancy's genuinely decisive non-priority requirement. The notice does not provide a 10-, 20- or 100-mark selection matrix, so there is no valid marks graph to publish. A single salary grade should also not be disguised as a comparison bar. All meaningful numeric rules are therefore shown directly in text and tables.
The advertisement's reservation column is written “ஆதிதிராவிடர் (பொது) (முன்னுரிமை அற்றவர்)”. It identifies an SC/Adi Dravidar general slot within the stated non-priority stream. The word General in this Tamil SC sub-entry does not turn the vacancy into UR or all-caste open competition. Conversely, it would be wrong to label the seat as a priority-category opening just because many Tamil Nadu employment-office notices distinguish priority and non-priority streams.
Applicants should examine whether their community certificate supports the notified Scheduled Caste subcategory and whether their employment-registration or priority circumstances meet the original sub-entry. The notice does not list a special SC certificate issue date, post-wise sub-roster, district-wise selection percentage, or additional EWS/OBC seats. There is precisely one SC category seat, not one SC plus one general post. If an applicant falls under a differently named subcategory or has a priority claim, the recruiting district authority should interpret the reservation entry rather than the applicant changing it in the form.
The form itself has a separate 'வகுப்பு/பிரிவு' category box with SC already indicated. Do not select another community simply to make the form generic. Use the original PDF and keep the supporting community document ready for verification.
This advertisement is distinct from state recruitments that explicitly demand an SSLC pass, HSC, diploma or degree. The educational row says 'பத்தாம் வகுப்பு தேர்ச்சி/தோல்வி', meaning Class X passed OR failed. It does not prescribe 60% marks, computer certification, English or Tamil typing speed, diploma in record management, graduate degree or an experience minimum. The application asks the candidate to record educational qualification and provides room to attach documentary evidence, so the appropriate response is a truthful school record, not an invented passing percentage.
Record-clerk work normally involves movement and preservation of files, registers, indexing and retrieval, but the 24 October notice does not separately publish a list of day-to-day tasks or declare computer typing as an essential qualifying exam. The appropriate applicant-side preparation is to show the ability to recognise dates, identify file references and keep papers arranged accurately. These are editorial work-readiness examples, not additional employer eligibility criteria. Candidates must not be rejected in the article for lacking a qualification the district did not notify.
The age heading is expressly as on 01.07.2026. The printed standard range is 18–42 for the named vacancy. That is a reference-day test, not a minimum-age rule assessed on 26 November. A candidate turning 18 only after 1 July does not satisfy the notified 18-year minimum merely because their birthday comes before postal closing. Similarly, being 42 on the relevant date must be assessed from the official date-of-birth record, not rounded from the year of birth.
The notice separately identifies a 10-year maximum-age concession for persons with disabilities and an ex-servicemen 18–55 bracket. These are different provisions: the document does not state how to stack them together, how to calculate overlapping relaxations, or which categories of disability qualify under each certification process. Do not publish a fabricated 65-year eligibility based on adding both limits. Keep original disability and discharge/service documentation where claimed and obtain the district's interpretation when the candidate needs more than one concession.
The prescribed form has fields for date of birth and a group of yes/no declarations regarding priority-related claims, physical disability, destitute widow and ex-serviceman status. Fill the relevant entry truthfully, support it with the official certificate if applicable, and do not mark a protected category just to access a greater age ceiling.
The printed pay entry is ₹15,900–₹58,600 (Level-02). It denotes the government pay-matrix basic-pay range, not a guaranteed lump-sum monthly stipend or an advertised ₹58,600 starting salary. The lower figure is the start of the stated level, while the upper figure is the level ceiling. The notice does not separately give DA, HRA, transport allowance, deductions, net pay, appointment probation period, annual increments or salary date. In-hand pay: Not specified. Do not add estimated allowances as if the authority published them.
The position is described as a vacancy on the government side of the Vellore Rural Development/Panchayat Raj establishment; the notice does not explicitly state that this is a 19-month contract or outsourced honorarium engagement. Those conditions belong to unrelated DCCM Technical Assistant jobs and must not be copied here. The precise service appointment terms will come from the competent office and appointment order.
The district notice announces the window 28 October to 26 November 2026, and it specifically requires the application to reach the named authority by 5:30 PM on 26 November. Treat this as receipt, not the date you put the envelope in a mailbox. Candidates who mail late on 26 November cannot reasonably assume delivery the same afternoon. The notification calls for postal submission of the signed, completed prescribed application; it does not set out an online registration, portal payment or WhatsApp submission route.
Address appearing in the signed advertisement:
Personal Assistant (Development) to the District Collector, District Collectorate, 'A' Block, Third Floor, Sathuvachari, Vellore – 632009, Tamil Nadu.
The exact Tamil office designation reads மாவட்ட ஆட்சித்தலைவரின் நேர்முக உதவியாளர் (வளர்ச்சி). Use that official addressee if writing in Tamil. It is not the District Forest Officer, District Health Society, the State Recruitment Board or a private third-party application center. The PDF does not require a particular courier brand and does not list an online tracking portal. Keep a photocopy of the signed form and proof of postal delivery for your own records; this is prudent applicant advice, not a notified mandatory upload.
The separate two-page Tamil form requests name, gender, father/husband/guardian details, date of birth, educational qualifications, current and permanent addresses, district, contact phone number, religion, category, caste and the relevant reserved/prioritised-status declarations. It provides a box for a recent passport-size photo and space for applicant signature, place and date. The form itself tells candidates to attach the documents cited in the notification and produce originals during the selection process.
For proof, put the available educational/SSLC record matching the pass-or-fail route, a reliable date-of-birth record, community certificate for the SC reservation, address evidence and disability/ex-serviceman certificate only if the applicant claims that route. The notice does not provide an exhaustive prescribed-size photograph specification, attestation paper count, separate experience-certificate threshold, police-verification form or caste-certificate issue-date rule. Mark those as Not specified rather than making applicants buy or generate unnecessary papers. Do not place originals in an ordinary postal envelope unless the office expressly instructs you later.
Instruction 7 of the signed Tamil notification states that eligible applicants will be informed of the place, date and time of a direct interview through a Call Letter (நேர்முக தேர்வு / Call Letter). It is therefore incorrect to say an interview is merely speculative. The district has not yet published the interview schedule, shortlisting ratio, interview marks, rank formula or final result date. Applicants should preserve their mobile/contact details and postal correspondence details, retain the application copy and monitor the Vellore government recruitment page. Do not create a CBT or written-test paper: the notice does not announce one. An interview call letter is different from a written-examination admit card.

A vacancy advertisement is not an interview calendar. Even when an applicant meets every printed criterion, it does not prove automatic appointment. Candidates should monitor Vellore District → Notices → Recruitment for the district's actual written communication, additions or results. Do not trust a general exam coaching site's timetable as an official notice.
| Applicant example | Notice-based reading |
|---|---|
| SC Adi Dravidar, non-priority applicant aged 24 on 1 July, SSLC passed, complete postal form | Potentially fits the printed basic route, subject to community/priority proof and scrutiny |
| Same category and age, studied/attempted Class X but failed | The printed pass/fail education wording does not automatically disqualify the applicant; authentic school record still matters |
| General/UR category candidate with a university degree | Not the category notified for this particular one-seat vacancy, regardless of higher qualification |
| SC applicant whose form reaches Vellore on 27 November | Past the announced postal receipt cutoff; late receipt is not protected by the date of dispatch |
| Disability claimant requiring an extension beyond 42 years | Additional up-to-ten-year age concession is printed; appropriate disability documents and authority interpretation required |
| Ex-serviceman aged 50 on 1 July | The separate 18–55 condition exists, but SC/non-priority and service/certificate relevance still have to be assessed by the authority |
| Applicant holding a computer degree but no available Class X documentary record | Higher education does not substitute the need to accurately prove the notified education condition and personal details |
The examples above are editorial scenarios, not employer-issued eligibility certificates. The correct reservation, authenticity and treatment of competing concessions remain within the government authority's discretion.
Is this notification dated 28 October 2026? The signed document itself is 24 October 2026; 28 October is the district website's recruitment window/listing date.
How many seats are available? Exactly one Record Clerk seat. The SC non-priority entry is part of that one seat, not an additional category count.
Are Class X failed candidates eligible? The Tamil notice expressly includes pass/fail. Applicants must still prove their actual education record and meet reservation, age and other requirements.
Can OBC or UR candidates apply to this seat? It is advertised for the notified Adi Dravidar (General, non-priority) category; do not relabel this as unreserved.
Is this a DCCM Technical Assistant recruitment? No. It belongs to the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj district government establishment and has different pay, category and submission rules.
Will salary start at ₹58,600? No such guarantee. That is the top of Level-2 basic pay range, not the notified starting take-home.
Is there a mandatory computer certificate or typing speed? No such minimum is stated in this signed Record Clerk advertisement.
What about application fee? Not specified. Do not invent ₹0, ₹100 or ₹500 as a confirmed department rule.
Will there be an interview? Yes. The last numbered instruction in the original Tamil notice explicitly provides for an interview of eligible applicants; venue, date and time will be conveyed in a Call Letter. Neither interview marks nor a written/CBT examination is notified.
Can I email the form? No email or online filing option is printed; use the postal process and correctly addressed prescribed form.
What is the last date and time? Receipt by 26 November 2026, 5:30 PM, not merely postmark on that date.
Where should I send it? Personal Assistant (Development) to District Collector, Collectorate A Block, 3rd Floor, Sathuvachari, Vellore 632009.
Is it a fixed 19-month contract? No such duration is printed. Do not import contractual conditions from neighbouring Tamil Nadu mission vacancies.
What should I check next? The district's official recruitment listing and any individually received interview call letter; do not confuse the postal closing date with the interview date.
The controlling documents are the one-page Tamil notification (signed 24 October 2026) and the two-page Tamil prescribed application currently distributed on Vellore District's official NIC recruitment page. These establish identity, reserved category, one seat, pay matrix, class-X wording, age date, special limits, postal address and closing clock. The website establishes the 28 October publication/listing window. The documents do not establish an exam pattern, weightage, actual in-hand pay, appointment order, result date, fees, postwise daily duties or precise opening-hour counter schedule. Only a later Vellore authority notice can establish those matters.
Open a post to view qualification, experience, age, salary, location, responsibilities and post-specific instructions.
Exactly as printed in Tamil: பத்தாம் வகுப்பு தேர்ச்சி/தோல்வி, i.e., Class X / 10th standard PASS OR FAIL. Do not replace by 10th pass only. The notice does not prescribe a numerical minimum mark, higher degree, ITI, typing certificate or computer course. Bring truthful proof of the recorded schooling.
Required: No · Description: No mandatory prior work-experience period is mentioned. Familiarity with registers and accurate filing is editorial readiness guidance only and does not create a new qualifying threshold.
Description: As of 01 July 2026: standard notified band 18–42; persons with disabilities have up-to-10-year upper-age extension and ex-servicemen an 18–55 category bracket, subject to proper proof and employer decision; do not assume cumulative relaxation.
This is the one Record Clerk vacancy under the Vellore District Rural Development and Panchayat Raj establishment. The official roster says Adi Dravidar (General), non-priority. A phrase like “General” inside a Scheduled Caste roster does not make the position open to all communities. The named office is the government-side district establishment, not a short-term DMF/DCCM mission contract. One seat means candidate-to-vacancy selection is narrow; the authority can scrutinise every entry and document with no need for speculative vacancy-category splitting.
The original educational field says “பத்தாம் வகுப்பு தேர்ச்சி/தோல்வி”: the candidate may have passed or failed Class X. That wording is why a standard 10th-pass-only filter is misleading. A person who attempted the tenth standard but failed may still satisfy this exact education row, subject to production of a truthful school record and the other restrictions. There is no listed mandatory diploma, PG qualification, typing test speed, 60%/50% score, certificate in MS Office, or previously served record-room years. Conversely, a candidate cannot invent a tenth-pass marksheet or rely solely on a self-asserted qualification. School leaving record and mark sheet, if held, should agree with the application.
The SC/Adi Dravidar (General, non-priority) restriction is material, not a decorative label. The applicant should have authentic community documentation relevant to the printed Tamil classification. Do not claim reserved-category eligibility by selecting 'Other' on the separate two-page form or filling the community field with an unrelated title. The form has explicit community/caste/priority declaration fields. The authority, not an editor, decides whether a specific priority or sub-category circumstance fits this non-priority slot. There are no published OBC, UR, ST or EWS sub-vacancies within the one post.
The advertisement expressly measures age on 1 July 2026, with 18 to 42 years as the primary printed band. The birth-date field on the application matters as much as the category certificate. The document additionally refers to a 10-year extension for persons with disabilities and 18–55 years for eligible former military personnel. It does not provide a detailed stacking formula for someone qualifying for several separate concessions. For such a boundary case, secure the competent office's interpretation and do not add the two relief figures to form an unadvertised upper age of 65.
₹15,900–₹58,600 is Level-2 government basic pay range. These are the bottom and top of a grade, not two salary offers between which the candidate can elect. The notice does not quantify starting DA, HRA, travel reimbursement, deductions, monthly net pay, probation or promotion. In-hand salary is Not specified. Although the job concerns a government establishment, the exact joining/service order is not yet issued. Do not describe it as a 19-month technical-assistant contract simply because nearby districts are separately advertising DCCM posts.
Download and print the two-page Tamil application. On the first page, attach the photo in the printed box, enter name, gender, father/husband/guardian details, date of birth, age, education, present/permanent address, district, mobile/contact, religion and community. On the second page answer any notified priority, disability, widow and ex-serviceman declarations, sign with place and date, and add supporting documents cited in the notice. Verify that the caste and priority entry is accurate. The authorities have not printed a required photo pixel size, online UID registration or fee-payment gateway. Treat such requirements as not specified.
The complete signed form should reach the Personal Assistant (Development) to the District Collector, Collectorate A Block, Third Floor, Sathuvachari, Vellore 632009 by 26 November 2026 at 5:30 PM. Mail it with time for transit; keep the postal receipt and document copy for your records. The notification does not say that sending the envelope on the final day is equivalent to receipt. An online district page is simply where the government documents are hosted: it is not an online submission portal.
A record clerk in a district office ordinarily helps maintain and retrieve correspondence and registers, keep clear file references, preserve documents in sequence and avoid disclosure of personal records. These are general descriptions inferred from the title, not a signed employer duty list. An applicant may practice reading office references and dates and keeping filing indexes, but should not be told that computer typing proficiency is compulsory when the official notification imposes no such certificate. The selection body has published no competitive-test syllabus or skill-test pass mark for this vacancy.
Use a dated and signed form, accurate photo, valid proof of DOB, the Class-X educational record, a suitable SC community certificate, correct personal contact/address fields and certificates for any age concession. The separate application includes a statement that incorrect information can attract action. Do not insert original school or community certificates into normal mail if certified copies will suffice for initial scrutiny; the district may later call for originals. The precise copy-attestation count is not set out in the one-page notice, so readers should follow any subsequent written authority direction.
The first known milestone is postal receipt. The district can then assess qualifications, roster, age and the application's completeness. Interview selection is expressly mentioned: eligible applicants will be sent the interview place/date/time by a government Call Letter. The district has not published that schedule, any marks distribution, written exam, cutoff, result date or joining date. Do not create fictitious exam/admit-card/result objects in SarkariSapna to make the job look complete. Check future updates on the same Vellore official recruitment portal and respond only to genuine competent authority communication.
Authoritative documents: the signed one-page P5/4470/2026 dated 24 October and the separate official two-page Tamil application available through Vellore District, Government of Tamil Nadu.
The 24 October 2026 signed notice is addressed to the Vellore district government-side RDPR establishment. Its six-row vacancy table supplies one SC / Adi Dravidar (General, non-priority) Record Clerk opening, ₹15,900–58,600 Level-02 pay, 01 July 2026 age reference and Class X pass/fail. Its numbered instructions require a complete prescribed application and supporting certificates, postal delivery by 26 November 2026 at 5:30 PM, and reject delayed or incomplete forms. The seventh instruction expressly contemplates the personal interview for eligible candidates, with location, date and time conveyed through a Call Letter. Treat the interview stage as confirmed, the interview schedule and marks as not yet published, and do not invent a written-paper syllabus or an admit-card issue date.
The two-page official application form has its own passport-photo area, date-of-birth boxes, education entry, present/permanent address, district, phone, religion, caste/classification and conditional declarations; page two includes the applicant's signature and the requirement to attach copies of relevant certificates. A candidate applying for the non-priority SC seat must ensure that their caste/priority declarations and certificates agree; merely supplying a standard general-category resume will not establish eligibility for the specific roster.
The government notice identifies a Record Clerk post but does not enumerate daily official responsibilities. Ordinarily related record-room work can involve indexing registers, safe custody, filing and retrieving official records; this is editorial role-context only, not a claim of a published duty roster.
The one actual notified post is Scheduled Caste/Adi Dravidar (General) non-priority. The non-priority qualification matters. Do not create parallel UR seats or invent other categories from the blank candidate form.
Recruitment-level qualifications and eligibility rules. Post-specific conditions are also shown inside each vacancy card.
Notice identifies the Vellore District establishment but does not explicitly impose an independent Vellore-domicile-only rule; address fields on form are not a sufficient basis to invent one.
Tamil row is பத்தாம் வகுப்பு தேர்ச்சி/தோல்வி (Class X pass/fail), not a pass-only SSLC minimum. Provide authentic school/education record.
The sole vacancy is reserved for Adi Dravidar (General) non-priority, not UR and not all SC subclasses automatically interchangeable.
The prescribed form must reach the named Personal Assistant (Development), Vellore Collectorate, on/before 26 November 2026, 5:30 PM.
Recruitment-level age criteria. Post-specific age conditions remain visible inside each vacancy card.
Post-wise salary, stipend or pay-matrix information.
Official Government Pay Matrix Level-2 basic-pay RANGE, NOT a contractual consolidated ₹15,900–₹58,600 payout. Initial pay, DA/HRA, deductions, in-hand salary Not specified.
Selection stages in the order configured for this recruitment.
The prescribed two-page Tamil form and supporting documents must reach the Collectorate Personal Assistant (Development) by 26 Nov 2026 at 5:30 PM; no online filing announced.
Verify the one-seat SC Adi Dravidar general non-priority roster, date of birth as on 01 Jul 2026, tenth pass/fail eligibility and claimed concessions. No published marks formula.
The signed Tamil district notice expressly states that eligible applicants will receive the location, date and time of a personal interview by Call Letter. No date, marks, weightage, shortlist or written-test pattern is published.
The office may call eligible candidates to prove originals and conditions. Exact joining, probation, results and allotment details are not announced in the notice.
