Generalist or Specialist: choose the correct discipline
Generalist accepts a recognized graduate/postgraduate degree in any stream with 60% marks, reduced to 55% for SC/ST/PwBD. Specialist posts have their own qualifications. A general degree alone is not enough for Finance, Legal, IT, Automobile, Risk, Company Secretary or Agriculture. Only one discipline may be selected.
