Vacancy Details & Salary
Here’s the breakdown of posts, total vacancy and salary for your reference.
| Post Name | Total Vacancy | Pay Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Warder | 37 | Level 6 of the Pay Matrix |
The notification lists the salary as Level 6 of the Pay Matrix but does not print the basic pay figure. Based on 7th-CPC-aligned state pay matrices, Level 6 commonly starts near ₹35,400 basic pay, though Sikkim’s own state matrix figures may differ. This is editorial context, not part of the official notification — confirm the exact figure with the Commission. During probation, apprenticeship or training, pay is governed by a separate state notification (No. 489/GEN/DOP dated 31 October 2011), as stated in the source.
Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria for the Warder post include education and age requirements. Candidates should make sure they meet all the conditions before applying.
Educational Qualification
- Class XII passed from a recognized board.
Candidates awaiting their final results are not eligible to apply, and all qualifications must be held as on the closing date of application.
Age Limit
- Minimum age: 18 years
- Maximum age: 22 years
- Both calculated as on 31 July 2026 (as per Notification No. 22/GEN/DOP dated 9 May 2018).
Other Qualifications

No TA or DA is paid for attending the examination.

A fixed application fee applies to all candidates.
