Support-level candidates (SL-1 posts such as Gardener / Mali, Bearer / Butler, Orderly / Chowkidar / Store Khalasi, Attendant and Safaiwala) need only Matriculation or 10th pass, with trade or diploma certificates required for Gardener and Bearer / Butler. Work Supervisor-I (SL-2) needs 10th pass with a one-year NTC or STC in Mason (Building Construction) or Work Supervisor trade, and Driver Grade-II needs a 10th pass with a Light Motor Vehicle driving licence carrying a transport endorsement.

Level 2 posts (Driver Grade-II, Technician-III, MPHW (Male), FMPHW) and Level 4 posts (Veterinary Pharmacist, Stock Assistant, Ophthalmic Assistant / Technician, Medical Record Technician, X-ray Assistant, Junior Theatre Assistant / OT Technician, Laboratory Assistant, Dental Assistant, Junior Nurse, Junior Pharmacist, Basic Health Worker, VLW / MPW, Patwari, Junior Assistant / Ledger Clerk) each have distinct qualification rules. Read the specific post row against your certificates before choosing a post in the application form, because you cannot switch posts after submission.

• Level 2 posts (Driver Grade-II, Technician-III, MPHW (Male), FMPHW): pay in the Level 2 scale of the notified pay matrix. See official notification for the exact basic pay figure.
• SL-2 and SL-1 posts (Work Supervisor-I, Gardener / Mali, Bearer / Butler, Orderly, Attendant, Safaiwala): pay in the SL-2 or SL-1 scale. The overall range across all notified pay levels is ₹14,800 to ₹81,100.
• Level 4 posts (Patwari, Junior Assistant / Ledger Clerk, Junior Nurse, Junior Pharmacist and the other 10+2 posts): pay in the Level 4 scale of the notified pay matrix. See official notification for the exact basic pay.

These posts are regular salaried positions under the pay matrix, so the National Pension System (NPS) employee contribution is 10% of basic pay plus DA. This assumes the post is covered by NPS rather than an older pension scheme, and the notification does not confirm which scheme applies, so verify this with the official notification. Income tax applies as per your total taxable income. Use the salary calculator to work out your take-home pay once you have the basic pay figure for your post. Private sector comparison and promotion timelines are not specified in the notification.

• Wrong photo or signature format: Uploading files that do not match the size, format or background prescribed in the notification at https://www.lahdssrb.in/. Re-check the requirements before you upload.
• Incomplete education details: Leaving out the diploma, trade certificate or driving licence number that the post requires. Enter the board or institute name and the year of passing exactly as printed on the certificate.
• Age miscalculation: Forgetting that the 45-year upper limit is extended only by the relaxation for your category, and that the age is counted as on the closing date.
• Wrong category or relaxation claim: Claiming SC, ST, OBC or PwD status without the certificate in the prescribed format that the notification requires.
• Applying under the wrong post: Choosing a Level 4 post when your qualification only meets the SL-1 or Level 2 requirement, or the reverse. Eligibility is checked against the post you select.
• Missing documents at verification: Failing to carry originals of the 10th certificate, the qualifying diploma or degree, the domicile certificate for the erstwhile Leh District, and the driving licence where applicable.

The Job Details do not state the document verification schedule, medical examination requirements, training period, or posting locations. Shortlisted candidates should expect a document verification stage in which original certificates and the domicile certificate for the erstwhile Leh District are checked against the application. Keep all originals and attested copies ready from the time you submit the form, since the notification will specify the exact schedule and documents.

The timeline from the closing date to appointment is not specified in the notification. Check https://www.lahdssrb.in/ regularly for updates on admit cards, results, verification dates and joining instructions.

The Leh Autonomous Hill Development-Subordinate Services Recruitment Board (LAHD-SSRB) conducts recruitment for subordinate-level posts linked to the Leh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHD) in Ladakh. Its role is to fill technical, medical, support and clerical posts through a formal notified process, so candidates should rely only on notifications published on its official website.

This recruitment cycle covers 216 vacancies across 24 post types, ranging from SL-1 support roles such as Safaiwala and Orderly to Level 4 medical, paramedical and clerical posts.

Driver Grade-II posts involve driving departmental vehicles and maintaining basic vehicle records, a role that requires a valid Light Motor Vehicle licence with a transport endorsement. Technician-III posts cover various trades, and the work involves maintaining and repairing equipment or infrastructure in the relevant trade, using the tools and equipment associated with that trade. Duties differ by trade, and the notification does not specify the exact trades or equipment for each vacancy.

Medical and paramedical roles such as Junior Nurse, Junior Pharmacist and Basic Health Worker involve direct patient or public contact, while support posts involve field and facility work. Uniform requirements, reporting structure and the split between field and desk work are not specified in the notification. Confirm these details with the official notice before you apply.
