Selection process and exam pattern
- CBT Online: 100 objective type questions with 100 marks for 2 hours. One-fourth mark is deducted for each wrong answer, hence guessing may be risky.
- Skill test: typing test for the DEO post and stenography for the Stenographer post.
- Physical Fitness test: For Fire and Security posts. Standards stated are minimum height of 165 cm (male) and 162 cm (female), minimum weight 50 kg, chest 81–86 cm for males, and 6/6 vision.
- Personal interview (10 marks): For AE, Accounts Officer, Medical Officer, Programmer, Shift Chemist, Fire Officer, and Security Officer.
- Document verification.
Because the CBT carries negative marking and the interview is worth only 10 marks where it applies, the written test effectively decides most selections.
