The notification invites applications from eligible women candidates only. The reported age requirement is 18 to 35 years as on 1 July 2026.
For education:
- Anganwadi Teacher: Intermediate/Class 12 pass is the stated minimum qualification.
- Anganwadi Helper/Ayah: Intermediate-qualified candidates are preferred. If eligible Intermediate candidates are unavailable for a particular Helper post, SSC/Class 10-qualified candidates may be considered, subject to the notification conditions.
Applicants should not rely solely on a summary of the notification. They must check the detailed official guidelines and post-specific conditions before submission, especially for local residence, category/reservation, and the selected Anganwadi Centre.
The official online form asks candidates to provide SSC and Intermediate information, including year of passing, result type, marks/GPA, date of birth as per the Class 10 memo, caste or reservation category, minority status, address, village/ward, Aadhaar number, and mobile number.
How to apply online
Candidates should complete the application well before the 21 September 2026 deadline rather than waiting until the final hours.
- Visit the official Telangana WDCW application portal or navigate through the WDCW Telangana website.
- Open the application form for the position of AWT/AWH.
- Select the post: Anganwadi Teacher or Anganwadi Helper.
- Choose Nagarkurnool as the district.
- Select the relevant ICDS project, sector, and Anganwadi Centre.
- Enter personal, educational, residential, category, and contact details accurately.
- Upload the prescribed certificates in the required format and size.
- Recheck every entry, particularly the selected centre, date of birth, qualifications, and reservation category.
- Submit the form by 5:00 PM on 21 September 2026.

The official form lists a file-size cap of less than 100 KB for applicable uploads. It includes fields for residence certificate, caste certificate, Class 10 certificate, Intermediate certificate, highest-qualification certificate, EWS certificate, sports certificate, ex-servicemen certificate, and documents related to widow, orphan, or disability status where applicable.
Documents and applicant checklist
Keep clear scanned copies ready before starting the online application:
- Aadhaar number and active mobile number
- SSC/Class 10 memo or certificate
- Intermediate memo or certificate, where applicable
- Residence certificate
- Caste/community certificate, if claiming reservation
- EWS certificate, if applicable
- Disability certificate, if applicable
- Widow/orphan-related certificate, where applicable
- Highest educational qualification certificate
- Sports or ex-servicemen certificate, if a relevant reservation is claimed
Candidates should use the information exactly as it appears in their supporting certificates. A mismatch in name, date of birth, locality, educational records, or reservation claim can create problems during verification. Since the recruitment is for centre-level vacancies, selecting an incorrect Anganwadi Centre may also affect eligibility.
For the latest notification, detailed vacancy roster, eligibility conditions, and official updates, applicants should refer to the WDCW Telangana website and use only the official application form. The recruitment summary states that the District Collector/Chairman, Nagarkurnool retains the authority to amend or cancel the notification if required.
