The recruitment methodology involves a multi-stage evaluation process tailored to the specific requirements of each post category. For Officer positions, applicants first appear for a Computer Based Test followed by a rigorous personal interview, with a weighted scoring system determining final merit. Junior Personal Assistant applicants undergo a Computer Based Test followed immediately by a practical skill test in stenography on a qualifying basis. Technical Assistant and Technician B candidates participate in a Computer Based Test, after which shortlisted individuals in a specific ratio proceed to a trade-based practical skill test conducted on a go or no-go basis. Negative marking applies to incorrect responses in the computer-based written examinations.
The examination framework comprises objective-type questions delivered through a Computer Based Test format across designated metropolitan examination centers. Negative marking is enforced, deducting a specified fraction of marks for every erroneous answer submitted by candidates. Detailed subject-wise syllabus distributions and marking schemes are explicitly outlined in the official recruitment documentation.
