What About the GIC Principal Eligibility?
Unfortunately, reliable information for eligibility to become a GIC Principal (or “Head of Institution”) is currently unavailable through official or trusted public sources. The only reference I found traces back to older SESSB (Secondary Education Service Selection Board) rules, not specific to GIC/GGIC or UPPSC processes, and these date back several years.
For accurate and up-to-date details, it’s best to:
Visit the official UPPSC website (particularly under “Notices” or “Recruitment” sections)
Monitor PCS (Provincial Civil Services) notifications or updates
Look for dedicated recruitment releases for the Principal post.
