Should You Apply?

If you are a local candidate of Sikkim with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Science degree, the Veterinary Officer post at Sikkim Public Service Commission is genuinely worth applying for — the Level-15 Pay Matrix salary is a strong central-grade pay. Competition will be focused given the local candidate restriction, which keeps the applicant pool narrower than open-to-all exams. State-level direct recruitments to technical Group A posts like this have become rarer recently — so apply before 30/06/2026.
