The minimum qualification is Graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, and candidates need to be between 21 and 30 years of age as on 01 July 2026, with the usual relaxations for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen candidates plus a distinct concession for widows, divorced women, and women legally separated from their husbands. Selection runs through two online objective tests: a 100-mark Preliminary Examination on 27 August 2026, followed by a 200-mark Main Examination on 30 October 2026 for those shortlisted, and then a qualifying Regional Language Test before the final state-wise and category-wise merit list is drawn up. The pay scale starts at ₹36,290 and progresses up to ₹100,865, working out to a gross of roughly ₹53,000 a month in the initial stage at a metro posting, on top of benefits like domiciliary medical cover, group mediclaim, and leave travel subsidy.

Recruitment Note: Regional Language Test & Domicile
Since this recruitment is conducted State/UT-wise, candidates must opt for an examination centre within the State/UT they are applying against, and will subsequently need to qualify a Regional Language Test in that State/UT's language before final selection. Candidates applying under a State/UT other than their domiciled one must still appear for and qualify the Regional Language Test in that state's language. This test is qualifying in nature only and carries no separate marks.

💡 Expert Tip
Don't treat the Regional Language Test as a formality — it's genuinely disqualifying, and if you're applying to a State/UT where you aren't a native speaker, make sure you can actually read, write, and speak that regional language before locking in your choice, since you can only apply for one State/UT and cannot switch later. On the exam itself, remember there's a real penalty for guessing: one-fourth of the marks allotted to a question gets deducted for every wrong answer in both the Preliminary and Main Examinations, so it pays to leave a question unattempted rather than guess blindly, since unattempted questions cost you nothing. Also get your scanned photograph, signature, left thumb impression, and handwritten declaration ready in the exact specified dimensions and file sizes before you start the form — the portal locks your application details completely once you click 'Complete Registration', so any mismatch in these uploads discovered later cannot be fixed.
