Selection Process
- Written Competitive Exam (objective-type, offline, multiple-choice) — tentatively by 20 December 2026.
- Document Verification (Abhilekh Sannirikshan) — mandatory for all shortlisted candidates; absence leads to automatic rejection.
- Qualifying Typing/Shorthand Test — conducted for candidates shortlisted at 4 times the number of vacancies, based on written-exam merit, in Hindi typing and shorthand (Ashulekhan).
- Post/Department Allotment — based on combined merit and the preference order candidates indicate for post/department.
Merely appearing in the written exam doesn’t guarantee shortlisting for the typing/shorthand stage — final merit is based on written exam marks; ties are broken by age (senior candidate ranked higher), then alphabetical order.

Author’s Suggestion
If you’re eyeing a specific department’s Personal Assistant post, check that department’s pay scale row carefully — most pay Level-05, but the Commercial Tax Tribunal and Industrial Tribunal posts pay notably higher (Level-06 and Level-07), which is worth factoring into your department preference order.
