Selection Process

For UDC and Librarian posts, selection is based purely on a written examination with objective-type multiple choice questions. Personal Assistant candidates go through an additional Stenography Proficiency Test (Stage 1) before the written exam (Stage 2) — the steno test is qualifying in nature, and the final merit list depends only on written exam scores. The written exam carries 200 marks across four subjects with a 2-hour duration.
