Selection Process:
Selection is conducted in two stages:
- Written Competitive Examination: An objective-type (multiple-choice) offline exam of 100 marks and 2 hours’ duration, covering the syllabus related to the educational qualification of the post. This exam determines the merit list.
- Qualifying Typing and Shorthand/Dictation Test: Based on merit in the written exam, candidates numbering up to 4 times the number of vacancies are shortlisted for a qualifying typing test and shorthand/dictation test. This stage is qualifying in nature only – marks from this stage are not added to the final merit.
Minimum qualifying marks in the written exam are 45% for Unreserved, EWS, and OBC category candidates, and 35% for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe category candidates; candidates scoring below this are treated as not qualified. Each wrong answer attracts a negative mark of one-fourth of the marks allotted to that question, while unattempted questions carry no negative marking.
Marking more than one option for a question is treated as a wrong answer. The final merit/selection list is prepared based on written exam marks, subject to qualifying the typing/shorthand stage; in case of a tie, older candidates are placed higher, and if age is also equal, English alphabetical order of name is used as the tie-breaker.Set up to four times the number of vacancies for the qualifying skill test.
Application Fee:
The application fee, payable only through Credit Card, Debit Card, Net Banking, or UPI, is as follows:
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) / Uttarakhand Other Backwards Class (OBC) | ₹300 |
| Uttarakhand Scheduled Caste (SC) / Scheduled Tribe (ST) / Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | ₹150 |
| Uttarakhand Divyang (PwD) candidates | ₹150 |
| Orphan (Anath) candidates | ₹0 (Nil) |
If the fee is not paid or is short-paid by the closing date, the application is automatically treated as rejected, as stated in the notification. If a payment fails due to a technical issue, the amount will be refunded.
