Selection Process

SCILAL will first assess applications against the eligibility requirements, including education, age and experience. Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview, with the date and time announced on the corporation’s website. If the number of eligible applications is large, SCILAL may limit interview invitations to a 1:20 ratio. For Senior Secretarial Officer, that shortlisting may be based on years of relevant post-qualification experience; for Secretarial Officer and Accounts Officer, it may be based on higher marks in the minimum required qualification.

If interview scores are tied, relevant post-qualification experience will be used to rank Senior Secretarial Officer candidates. For Secretarial Officer, the higher marks in the minimum required ICSI qualification will be considered; for Accounts Officer, the higher marks in the minimum required ICMAI or ICAI qualification will be considered. If a tie remains, the candidate with the earlier date of birth will be ranked higher. A waitlist panel may be used if selected candidates do not join.

Eligible Indian nationals should complete both the online application and the required email submission before the deadline. Applicants should also monitor their email and the SCILAL website for interview information and recruitment updates.
