Candidates must download the detailed notification to learn whether they meet the eligibility criteria, and the missing details suggest the role is specialist enough that Digital India Corporation may shortlist from experience rather than run a broad written test. The last date to apply is 18 November 2026, about two weeks from now, leaving a short window for candidates to assess their fit. ## Coverage - freejobalert.com Lists all details from the DIC openings page including missing info, no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
