Points to be noted:

  • There will be negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in Paper-I. Candidates are, therefore, advised to keep this in mind while answering the questions.
  • Candidates are allowed to bring their own Slide–Rule, Calculator, Logarithm Tables and Steam Table for Paper-II only. They are not allowed to use such aids for Paper-I.
  • Candidates are not permitted to use electronic gadgets except as specified in the Notice. They should not, therefore, bring the same inside the Examination Premises/ Venue for papers for which their use is not permitted.
  • Wherever applicable, the candidates must indicate/ write the answer either in Hindi or in English. If answers are indicated/ written partly in Hindi and partly in English and vice versa, the Answer script will not be evaluated.
  • In the question papers, wherever necessary, the Metric systems of weights and measures only will be used.

Mode of Selection:

  • Based on the normalized marks scored in the (Paper-I) i.e. Computer Based Examination, candidates will be shortlisted, category-wise, to appear in Paper-II.
  • Based on the performance in Paper-I+Paper-II, candidates will be shortlisted for Document Verification.
  • Final selection and allocation of Ministries/ Departments will be made on the basis of the performance of candidates in Paper-I+Paper-II and the preference of Posts/ Departments exercised by them at the time of Document Verification.
