Selection Process

A final merit list is prepared using the Main Examination and Interview/Personality Test, and only candidates who attend both components of the final assessment are considered for merit. The notice separately states that Administrative Officer direct recruitment involves a written test and interview.

Eligible applicants should review the detailed notice and submit a complete online application with the applicable fee before the deadline that applies under the notice’s later-of-two-dates rule.
