​​Let's analyze the eligibility criteria based on the given information:
Criteria:
1. The candidate should have a graduation degree including any two of the following subjects: Geography, History, Economics, Political Science, and Public Administration.
Dr. Mohanty has Geography, but also English and Psychology in his graduation. English and Psychology are not part of the specified subjects (Geography, History, Economics, Political Science, Public Administration). Hence, Dr. Mohanty does not meet this criterion.

There's no information provided about Dr. Mohanty's B.Ed. degree. However, based on the phrasing of the question, we are expected not to assume anything outside the given details. Therefore, we cannot confirm eligibility under this criterion.

Dr. Mohanty has 8 years of teaching experience at the secondary level, which meets the experience requirement.
4. The candidate should have good command over Hindi and English.
Dr. Mohanty is mentioned to have a good command over Hindi and English, so he meets this criterion.
