Meghalaya SAD Grade IV Recruitment 2026 — 153 Vacancies

Meghalaya SAD Grade IV Recruitment 2026: Overview

Secretariat Administration Department (SAD), Government of Meghalaya is recruiting Grade IV support staff for the Nazarat branch of the Meghalaya Civil Secretariat. The drive combines unfilled posts from earlier cycles with a larger set of fresh positions and applies the state's reservation policy across the notified categories. The roles keep the Secretariat's offices and daily administrative movement running, from carrying files and supporting rooms to cleaning, security watch and garden upkeep.

The notice is designed for applicants with basic school education and provides separate choices for Peon, Cleaner, Sweeper, Chowkidar and Mali. You may apply for the post or posts that fit your preference through the state's recruitment portal. If you qualify for more than one Grade IV category, the Departmental Selection Committee can decide the post against which you are finally placed. Choose each option carefully and keep the reservation proof that supports the category claimed in your form.
