A total of 474 vacancies have been announced for workers, helpers, and supervisors in the Anganwadi recruitment 2026.

Eligibility Criteria and Selection Process

Eligibility criteria for Anganwadi exams are generally established by individual state governments, adhering to common guidelines. For Anganwadi Worker positions, candidates typically need to be 10th or 12th Pass, aged between 18 and 35 years, and reside in the same ward or village. Married women are often preferred in some states. Anganwadi Helper roles require an 8th or 10th Pass qualification, with similar age and residency conditions, but no marital status restrictions.

For Supervisor/CDPO posts, a Graduation degree in any stream is required, with an age limit of 18 to 40 years. Residency conditions for these roles can vary by district. Age relaxations of 5 years for SC/ST candidates and 3 years for OBC candidates are applicable across most posts. The selection process for Anganwadi Worker and Helper positions is merit-based, considering academic marks, and does not involve a written examination. Candidates for Supervisor posts may have an application fee ranging from ₹100 to ₹500, while for most other states, the application fee is NIL.

Anganwadi Worker/Teacher (AWW/AWT) positions in Gujarat require an Intermediate (12th) pass, while Anganwadi Helper (AWH) roles require a minimum 8th or 10th class pass. The Women Development & Child Welfare Department, Hyderabad District, specified that Anganwadi Teacher candidates must have completed their Intermediate (10+2) examination, be female, and be between 18 and 35 years of age as of July 1, 2026.
