The Andaman & Nicobar Administration has released Advertisement No. 01/ML/2026 for its Combined Matric Level Examination 2026, advertising 194 Group ‘C’ Non-Ministerial posts across more than two dozen departments. This single exam covers a huge variety of roles — from Multi Tasking Staff and Drivers to Forest Guards, Surveyors, Warders and Linemen — making it one of the best 10th-pass government job chances of the year in the islands. Online applications are open from 8 June 2026 to 28 June 2026 through the official A&N e-recruitment portal. Selection is through a Tablet Based Test (TBT), so the process is fair and fully online. The posts fall under 7th CPC Pay Levels 1 to 5, depending on the role. As per the 7th CPC Pay Matrix, this means a monthly pay roughly in the range of ₹18,000 to ₹92,300, with most Matric-level helper posts starting at Level 1.

There is negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer, and the duration is 120 minutes. Questions are set in English and Hindi.
Tier-II — Physical / Skill / Trade Test
For posts that require it (such as drivers, forest guards and trade posts), a Physical Standard/Endurance Test or Skill/Trade Test is held after the TBT. This stage is only qualifying in nature.

Group C posts	Level 1 to 5	₹18,000

Note: In addition to basic pay, candidates are entitled to DA, HRA, TA and other allowances as per 7th Pay Commission recommendations.

The posts fall under 7th CPC Pay Levels 1 to 5, depending on the role. As per the 7th CPC Pay Matrix, this means a monthly pay roughly in the range of ₹18,000 to ₹92,300, with most Matric-level helper posts starting at Level 1.

Along with the basic pay, island employees receive Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, a special island/remote-area allowance and other benefits, which makes the monthly in-hand salary quite attractive for a 10th-pass post. These are permanent Group ‘C’ government jobs with full security.
