Eligibility Criteria
Before you apply for the Calcutta University Agricultural Labour Recruitment 2026, make sure you meet the qualification, experience, and nationality requirements below.
Educational Qualification
Preference is given to candidates who have passed Class VIII from a recognised institution. This is a relatively low entry barrier compared to most Sarkari Naukri postings, which makes it accessible to a wider pool of applicants.
Experience Required
This is where the real filter lies — candidates must have at least 5 years of hands-on experience in agricultural fields, farms, or agricultural research stations, or in similar farm-related work. You’ll need to submit an experience certificate issued by the Scientist, Principal Investigator, or Farm Superintendent under whom you previously worked.
Nationality
Only Indian citizens are eligible to apply for this post.

Nature of Work
Selected candidates will handle a range of farm duties, including land preparation, seed sowing, seedling transplantation, irrigation, crop maintenance, harvesting, and the upkeep of experimental plots, nursery beds, and farm infrastructure. Additional agriculture-related tasks may be assigned by the University from time to time.
Salary and Remuneration
The Calcutta University Agricultural Labour Recruitment 2026 notification specifies that selected candidates will be paid a daily wage as per the prevailing orders of the Government of West Bengal [exact daily wage rate: Check official notification].

💡 Pro Tip: If you want the exact current daily wage rate applicable to unskilled/semi-skilled agricultural labour under West Bengal Government norms, it’s best to confirm this directly with the RUSA 2.0 office before applying.
Selection Process
The selection for this recruitment involves the following stages:
- Verification of Application and Documents — your form and attached certificates will be checked for completeness and eligibility.
- Interview and/or Skill Test — shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview, a practical skill test, or both, depending on the University’s assessment needs.
The decision of Calcutta University in the entire selection process will be treated as final and binding.
