💡 Expert Tip

This notification runs a genuinely useful horizontal reservation layer on top of the vertical category numbers — specific seats are earmarked as UR-PWD (Low Vision) in Agriculture Extension, SC-PWD (Multiple Disability) in Horticulture, and UR-PWD (Deaf/Hard of Hearing) in Home Science, so if you hold a matching disability certificate, check these specific slots carefully rather than only looking at the general UR/SC/OBC numbers. Since 20% of the 31 posts are reserved for women candidates and 1 additional post is set aside for a freedom fighter's dependent as per UP Government order, women candidates especially should study the stream-wise breakup closely since Home Science alone shows explicit UR (Women) slots. As with most agriculture-university postings, having demonstrable working knowledge of Computer, MS-Word, and Data Processing — even if just desirable on paper — meaningfully strengthens your candidature during shortlisting for these SMS roles.
