💡 Expert Tip
For AYUSH MO posts, your PG degree in BAMS/BHMS/Unani gives you additional weightage in the Career Assessment scoring — specifically, it adds full 10 marks to your tally, which is significant when the merit list is decided in 3-decimal-place format (e.g., 45.567%). If two candidates tie on marks, the elder candidate gets priority based on 10th certificate date of birth. Make sure to carry your PAR (Performance Appraisal Report) for at least 3 preceding contractual terms if you are an existing OSH&FW Society employee — this is mandatory for age relaxation and grace marks. Also, marks in CGPA/OGPA/DGPA format MUST be converted to percentage and a conversion certificate submitted — without this, your application will be rejected outright.
