Selection process and interview
The mode of selection differs by post. Superintendent and Senior Assistant have two stages: Stage 1 is the Screening Test and Stage 2 is the Skill Test (qualifying in nature only). For Technical Assistant, Senior Technician, Technician and Office Attendant the mode of selection is the Screening Test only.
For Superintendent and Senior Assistant, the merit list is prepared solely on the total marks obtained in the Stage-1 Screening Test. The Stage-2 Skill Test is qualifying in nature only.
| Skill test point | What the notice says |
|---|---|
| Superintendent, duration | 20 minutes for Word Processing & Spread sheet Proficiency Test in English only |
| Superintendent, cut-off for UR | 14 marks (35%) |
| Superintendent, cut-off for reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, PH) | 12 marks (30%) |
| Senior Assistant, duration | 10 minutes for Typing Test in Hindi/English and 20 minutes for Word Processing & Spread sheet Proficiency Test in English only |
| Typing test error limit | UR candidates committing more than 7% errors, and reserved category (SC, ST, OBC, PH) candidates committing more than 10% errors in the transcript, will not be deemed qualified in skill test for the respective posts |
If candidates tie on marks, the first tie-breaker is higher marks in Part-B of the Screening Test. If that is also the same, the candidate with the higher age gets preference in merit.
