Chhattisgarh Staff Selection Board (CGSSB) Assistant Grade-3/Process Writer Recruitment 2026 - 64 Posts

The Chhattisgarh Staff Selection Board (CGSSB), formerly known as Vyapam, has released a joint recruitment exam (LAG26) for 64 Assistant Grade-3/Process Writer posts — 54 posts under the Chhattisgarh State Legal Services Authority, Bilaspur, and 10 posts under the Law and Legislative Affairs Department, Mantralaya, Naya Raipur. Both departments share a single combined written exam and skill test, so you only need to apply once through the CGSSB portal to be considered for either set of posts. An Assistant Grade-3/Process Writer mainly handles typing, file movement, and clerical support work in legal and government offices, which makes this a good entry point into state government service.

This is a good opportunity for 12th-pass candidates with basic computer and typing skills who want a stable state government job with regular pay, allowances, and long-term career growth. The written exam will be conducted at exam centers in 2 district headquarters, so make sure to choose your preferred center carefully while filling the form.
