2. Recruitment Guidelines
- Applicants must adhere to the TSC’s Recruitment Guidelines. These guidelines are designed to ensure transparency and fairness throughout the selection process.
3. Submission of Original Academic and Professional Certificates
- Shortlisted candidates are required to submit authentic academic and professional certificates for verification. It is important to organize these documents in advance to avoid delays.
4. Merit-Based Selection
- Selection will be merit-based, considering available county vacancies. Applicants are encouraged to highlight their qualifications, skills, and experiences effectively in their applications.
5. Eligibility Criteria

10. Regular Monitoring
