How Will You Be Selected?

Shortlisted candidates will appear for a written exam of 100 marks in 2 hours covering Reasoning, General Awareness, English, and Numerical Aptitude. There is no negative marking, so attempt all questions confidently.
Stage 3 — Skill Test / Trade Test
For LDC post, candidates will have to pass a Typing Test — 35 wpm in English or 30 wpm in Hindi. Only those who qualify in the skill test and are in the order of merit in the written exam will be considered for final selection.

All shortlisted candidates will be called for document verification. Original educational certificates, caste certificate, Aadhaar card, experience certificate, and PwBD certificate (if applicable) must be genuine and properly self-attested.
