130 of the 148 posts are at the Junior Assistant / JCE level where a plain graduation with 50 percent works. For general-stream graduates who keep missing the mass exams by a whisker, a niche CPSE with a ₹1,770 filter and 15-day window often has thinner competition than anything SSC runs. Decide fast; it closes 24 July.
