Salary Details

This is a contractual post, so the pay structure is simpler than a regular government pay scale. Here's a clear breakdown of what you'll earn.

Component	Amount
Consolidated Pay	Rs. 25,000/month
Contract Duration	3 years
Estimated Take-Home	~Rs. 23,000 – 24,500/month

Your actual take-home will be approximately Rs. 23,000 to Rs. 24,500 per month depending on applicable statutory deductions.

Selection Process

The selection for this post is straightforward — there is only one stage:

1. Written Test — A Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) paper

There is no interview or skill test. If you clear the written test with the minimum required marks, you'll move to document verification. Candidates who score at least 50% (for UR) or 40% (for SC/OBC/PwBD) in the written test will be considered for selection.

Exam Pattern

The written test will have 100 MCQ questions for a total of 100 marks. You'll get 120 minutes (2 hours) to complete it.

Since there is no negative marking, you should attempt all 100 questions. Never leave a question blank — a guess is always better than leaving it unanswered here.
