Ensure your degree is in one of the specified fields (Agriculture, Food Processing, etc).
Experience must be post-qualification (i.e., after you obtained the qualifying degree) for Grade-I.
Since this is contract employment, it does not guarantee absorption/regularisation. The notification emphasises contract nature.
APEDA
Prepare your documents: qualification, marksheet, experience certificates, ID proof, photograph.
Mention clearly the grade (I or II) you are applying for and ensure you meet the age/experience accordingly.
Because locations may require travel or field work (given the nature of business development), ensure you are ready for mobility if required.
Keep a copy of the application, and follow the official website for updates.
