Who Should Check This Update
Experienced cybersecurity professionals - SOC analysts, incident responders, SIEM engineers and security managers - plus database and network engineers, finance (DDO) and procurement staff, and office assistants with 14 years of education.
Candidate Guidance
Do not add your own age relaxation on top of the listed limits - the five-year general relaxation is already included. SOC Analyst L1 still needs four years of experience, so this is not an entry-level opening. Always confirm eligibility, dates, fees and application rules on the official National Job Portal before you apply.
