💡 Expert Tip

You can apply for only one post in each Group — Group B, Group C, or Group D — so think carefully before submitting, since applying for multiple posts within the same group isn't allowed and separate application forms with separate fees are needed even across groups.

Since no hard copies of application forms are issued from the office, download the form only from www.horticulture.mn.gov.in to avoid using an outdated or invalid format.
