Why It Matters
A Sub-Surveyor measures and maps land: plot boundaries, field surveys, and records used in land settlement, sale and dispute cases. Land records departments rely on these staff for everyday work that affects farmers, home buyers and local governments. For young people with a survey diploma or ITI training, 1,145 vacancies in one recruitment is a sizeable opening in a single recruitment.
The posts also show a route into government work that does not need a university degree. Because the recruitment specifically asks for a survey diploma or a surveyor ITI certificate, it rewards that technical training directly, rather than general graduation.
Applicants should be careful about one detail. Some job websites published early estimates of the eligibility and fee before the notification was out, including different age limits and degree requirements. The figures above come from listings that reproduce the advertisement, but the official PDF on psc.wb.gov.in is the only authoritative source. Candidates should read it fully before paying the fee, especially the age cut-off date and the experience requirement for ITI holders.
The age limit is calculated as on January 1, 2024, because the advertisement number dates from 2024. That may allow some candidates who are older today to remain eligible, but each applicant should check the exact rule in the notification.
What to do next: check your qualification against the notification, gather your diploma or ITI certificate and experience certificate, register on psc.wb.gov.in, pay the fee and submit the form before 3 pm on November 9, 2026. Do not leave it to the last day, as websites slow down near deadlines.
