Bihar Police Havaldar 2027 Mock Test: Free PDF
Last Updated: 16 August 2026 | Target Cycle: 2026-2027 | Reviewed against BPSSC's most recent Havaldar exam pattern Bihar Police Havaldar 2027 Mock Test Series (BPSSC Pattern) Free Bihar Police Havaldar 2027 mock test practice built directly on BPSSC's actual written exam pattern — 100 questions, 100 marks, zero negative marking — plus complete coverage of the 100-mark Physical Efficiency Test that finally decides your rank. The Bihar Police Havaldar 2027 mock test series on this page is built for one specific exam: the recruitment BPSSC (Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission) runs to fill Havaldar posts across the state, including roles like Havaldar Instructor and Havaldar Clerk. If you've searched for a Bihar Police Havaldar 2027 mock test hoping to find something that actually mirrors the real paper instead of a generic government-exam quiz, this is that resource. Most candidates preparing for CSBC and BPSSC exams — Havaldar, Sepoy Constable, Sub-Inspector (Daroga) — end up treating every Bihar Police exam the same way. They're not the same. The Havaldar written paper is matriculation-level, has no negative marking, and only qualifies you for the next stage. Your Sub-Inspector cousin studying for the Daroga exam is dealing with graduate-level questions, negative marking, and a written score that actually counts toward final merit. Confusing the two wastes real preparation time, so this page sticks strictly to what the Havaldar paper actually asks. Start Free Mock Test Daily Live Current Affairs Quiz Is There Negative Marking in the Bihar Havaldar Written Exam? No. This is the single most-searched question about this exam, so here's the direct answer: BPSSC does not deduct marks for wrong answers in the Havaldar written test. Every correct answer earns exactly 1 mark, and a wrong answer costs you nothing. That single rule changes your entire exam-day strategy compared to something like the Bihar SI or CAPF papers, where guessing wrong actively hurts your score. 1. Bihar Police Havaldar 2027 Exam Structure & Key Rules Feature / Parameter Official Specification Preparation Impact Question Count 100 Multiple Choice Questions Around 1.2 minutes per question — enough time if you know the answer Total Duration 2 Hours (120 Minutes) Comfortable pace if you've practiced; tight if you read every question twice Maximum Score 100 Marks (+1 per Correct Answer) Every question worth the same — don't overspend time on one hard question Negative Marking None Attempt every question — a wrong guess costs nothing Qualifying Marks Minimum 30% This only gets you to the physical test — it does not decide your rank Difficulty Level Matriculation (Class 10) standard, per BSEB syllabus Not a graduate-level paper — clear basics beat advanced theory Exam Mode Offline, OMR-based Practice clean, careful bubble-filling alongside your timed mocks One detail worth sitting with: what is the passing cutoff for BPSSC Bihar Havaldar? It's 30% of the written paper — not a competitive cutoff, just a qualifying threshold. Actual selection depends on where you rank after the physical test, so clearing 30% comfortably and then coasting is a common, costly mistake. 2. Subject-Wise Question Trend & Priority Weightage Recent Havaldar cycles, including the 2026 Havaldar Instructor exam run under Advertisement No. 05/2026, have consistently drawn questions from six subject areas. Here's where your study hours give the best return. Subject Sector Expected Questions Priority Tier High-Yield Core Topics General Science 22-25 Questions TIER 1 (CRITICAL) Basic physics, chemistry, human body, everyday science Social Science & GK 20-24 Questions TIER 1 (CRITICAL) Indian history, Bihar-specific facts, geography, civics basics Current Affairs 15-18 Questions TIER 2 (HIGH) National schemes, Bihar govt welfare policies, sports, awards Mathematics 12-15 Questions TIER 2 (MODERATE) Basic arithmetic, percentages, ratio, time and work Hindi Grammar 10-12 Questions TIER 3 (STANDARD) Grammar rules, comprehension, vocabulary — usually easy marks English Grammar 8-10 Questions SCORING Basic grammar and comprehension, matriculation standard only 3. Exhaustive Micro-Syllabus Coverage Matrix To secure a genuinely competitive rank, candidates need to go past the subject names and master the micro-level topics inside each one. NCERT and SCERT textbooks remain the base reference for almost all of this — nothing here requires material beyond what's already sitting on a Class 10 bookshelf. Subject Domain Micro-Syllabus (National Focus) Micro-Syllabus (Bihar Regional Focus) Ancient & Medieval History Indus Valley Settlements, Vedic Literature, Mauryan Administration, Gupta Dynasty Magadha Empire Rise, Mahavira in Vaishali, Buddha in Bodh Gaya, Nalanda University Modern History & Freedom Movement 1857 Revolt Outbreak, British Administrative Acts, Non-Cooperation Movement Veer Kunwar Singh in Jagdishpur, Champaran Satyagraha 1917, Bihar Kisan Sabha Physical Geography Indian Drainage System, Climate Zones, Physical Divisions Bihar's River System, Soil Classifications, District Formations, Patna region geography General Science Applied Physics, Everyday Chemistry, Human Physiology, Vitamin Deficiencies Not state-specific — same national NCERT syllabus applies Current Affairs National Schemes, Awards, International Summits Bihar Government Welfare Policies, State Budget Highlights 4. Why Attempting Every Question Actually Helps You Because there's no negative marking, missing a question always costs more than guessing on it. A blank answer is a guaranteed zero. A guess, even a weak one, gives you a real chance at a mark. Once candidates internalize this, their approach to the paper changes completely — from cautious and selective to fast and thorough. Approach Questions Left Blank Guaranteed Marks Lost Net Outcome Leave unsure questions blank 15 Questions 15 Marks Guaranteed loss, zero chance of recovery Attempt every question with elimination 0 Questions 0 Marks (worst case) Even a low hit rate adds marks with zero penalty 5. 120-Minute Sectional Time Division Plan Managing two hours across 100 questions needs a structured, round-by-round approach rather than answering in the order questions appear. Splitting the paper into three passes keeps you from running out of time on the easy questions you should never have struggled with. Execution Round Time Window Target Subject Focus Strategic Action Required Round 1: Rapid Direct Attempts 0-40 Minutes Science, static GK, direct history questions Answer sure items instantly, no more than 30 seconds per item Round 2: Elimination & Analytics 40-90 Minutes Current affairs, maths, tricky social science Eliminate 2 wrong choices before committing to an answer Round 3: OMR Verification & Review 90-120 Minutes Final check of marked questions and bubble alignment Complete OMR shading systematically, fill any leftover blanks How to Prepare for the Bihar Police Havaldar 100-Marks Physical Test This is the second most-asked question about this exam, and it deserves a direct answer rather than a table. Start your running, shot put, and high jump practice on the same day you start your books — not after. Running endurance and throwing technique both need weeks of repeated, gradual training; you cannot cram them the way you can cram General Science facts in the final month. Build your weekly mileage slowly, measure your shot put distance against the actual standard regularly rather than guessing, and practice high jump technique with someone who can correct your form early, before bad habits set in. 6. Physical Efficiency Test (PET): 100-Mark Selection Matrix This stage decides your final merit rank. The written exam only qualifies you for it — your PET score is what actually places you on the selection list, alongside candidates competing for the same Havaldar, Havaldar Instructor, and Havaldar Clerk posts across Bihar Police districts and units like the Bihar Special Armed Police (BSAP). Event Maximum Score Male Standards Female Standards Running 50 Marks 1.6 km 1.0 km Shot Put 25 Marks 16 lb 12 lb High Jump 25 Marks Min 4 ft Min 3 ft Two candidates with very different written scores can end up ranked in the opposite order once PET marks are added, purely because one trained physically alongside their books and the other didn't. Treat this table with the same seriousness as your syllabus. 7. 12-Week Strategic Test Schedule for 2027 Candidates Phase & Timeline Primary Focus Weekly Test Volume Key Target Milestone Weeks 1-4: Foundation Building Sectional tests + light running 3 Sectional Tests / Week Reach 85%+ accuracy on core factual questions Weeks 5-8: Mixed Practice Combined sets + running distance building 2 Full Mocks / Week Master option elimination under timed conditions Weeks 9-12: Real Exam Simulation 100-question full-length exams + PET practice 3 Full Mocks / Week Maintain a score consistently above 70 marks 8. Platform Features Built for Score Growth A mock test only helps if you know what to do with the result. Beyond just grading your attempt, this series gives you detailed performance analytics — subject-wise accuracy, time spent per question, and a weak-topic heatmap so you can see exactly where marks are slipping away. Every attempt also comes with your All India Rank and percentile in real time, so you're measuring yourself against actual competing aspirants, not an abstract target score. The tests themselves are adaptive, meaning the difficulty adjusts to your current level as you improve, and every single question comes with a full video or text explanation rather than just the correct option. You can also compare your attempt against a topper's answer sheet, and daily streaks with badges keep you consistent across the full 12-week plan instead of losing momentum halfway through. AI-Based Weak Area Recommendation This is the feature that matters most. After each mock, our AI runs a sectional analysis of your attempt and tells you exactly which subject or topic is weak — then gives you a specific suggestion on what to revise next. It works like a personal tutor watching your performance and telling you where to focus, instead of leaving you to guess. Why I Built This Mock Test Series I'm Shubham Kumar Sah, founder of SarkariMockTest.com. Bihar Police Havaldar is one of the exams where I keep seeing the same mistake, cycle after cycle: candidates put in months of study for the written paper, walk in, score well above the qualifying 30%, and then find out their final rank was decided almost entirely by how fast they ran and how far they threw a shot put — something they barely trained for. That imbalance is the reason this series exists. The written exam here isn't the hard part for most aspirants — it's 10th-standard level, there's no negative marking, and consistent daily practice gets most people well past 30% within a few weeks. The real gap is treating the Physical Efficiency Test with the same seriousness as the books, starting your running and shot-put practice on day one instead of after your written prep is "done." So this series is built around both halves together — full-length written mocks that mirror the real 100-question, no-negative-marking format, alongside a PET tracking plan so you're not starting your physical training with six weeks left on the clock. A meaningful part of it stays free, for the same reason it always has — finding out you're weak in shot put shouldn't cost you money before you've even had the chance to fix it. I evaluate everything on this page with one question: will this genuinely help someone before their Havaldar 2027 written result comes out? If it doesn't clear that bar, it doesn't get added. 9.

Common Mistakes Aspirants Make Common Mistake Preparation Danger Recommended Solution Ignoring physical training until later Loses weeks of running-endurance time, hard to recover quickly Start running and shot-put practice from week one Leaving questions blank Guaranteed zero marks on questions you might guess right Attempt every question — there's no penalty for wrong guesses Skipping Bihar-specific current affairs Missing easy, predictable marks from state schemes Follow Bihar government scheme updates weekly, not just national news 11. Eligibility Criteria, Age Limits & Physical Standards Category Age Limits (Male/Female) Education Height & Chest Standards General (UR) 18-37 / 18-40 years Intermediate (10+2) or equivalent 165 cm, Chest 81-86 cm (Male) BC / EBC 18-40 years (both) 165 cm, Chest 81-86 cm (Male) SC / ST 18-42 years (both) 160 cm, Chest 79-84 cm (Male) Female candidates: 155 cm height across all categories, minimum 48 kg weight. Figures are based on recent Havaldar cycles including the 2026 Havaldar Instructor recruitment — confirm against the official 2027 notification once BPSSC releases it. 12. Bihar Police Havaldar 2027 Important Dates Event Status Bihar Police Havaldar 2027 Notification Awaited — not yet released as of 16 August 2026 This page will be updated with confirmed dates the moment BPSSC releases the 2027 notification. Until then, use the mock test series to build your base — the written exam pattern and PET structure have stayed consistent across recent Havaldar cycles, so preparation now isn't wasted time. 13. Free vs Paid Mock Test — What You Get Feature Free Paid Full-length mock tests 2 tests included Full test series AI weak-area analysis Available on free tests Available on every test Compare with toppers Not included Included 14. Preparation Strategy: Written + Physical Together Run both tracks in parallel from day one rather than sequentially. On a typical week, mornings can go to running and PET-event practice while you're fresh, and evenings to written-exam study and mock attempts. Trying to "finish" the written prep first and then start physical training almost always leaves too little runway before the actual PET date — running endurance and throwing technique both take weeks of consistent repetition to build, not days. 15.

This focused feedback eliminates random reading and directs your study hours where you gain the most marks Why I Built This Mock Test Series I'm Shubham Kumar Sah, founder of MockTestCenter.com. I am preparing for the UPSC, and CAPF is one of the exams that UPSC conducts. This isn't just another exam I'm studying from a distance. I am engaged with the same syllabus every day along with everyone else here. Most CAPF candidates dedicate almost all their time to Paper 1, which focuses on General Ability and Intelligence. It's objective and straightforward to practice. The negative marking makes it feel like a real exam. Paper 2 also carries nearly as many marks and has two parts. Part A includes General Studies and an Essay, which can be written in either Hindi or English. Part B is English Language and Comprehension, and it must be answered only in English. You can't get full marks for answers in Hindi there. Many candidates mistakenly think the entire exam is bilingual like Paper 1, skip English writing practice, and lose marks in the section that only accepts English. This series addresses that gap. The Paper 1 mock tests here mirror the actual exam — 250 marks, 2 hours, objective questions, and a penalty of 0.33 marks for every wrong answer — so you won't be surprised by the objective stage. We also provide full practice for Paper 2, including essay writing and a separate English comprehension and precis section, since that part is often overlooked in study plans. Both Paper 1 and the General Studies section remain bilingual, in Hindi and English, just like the real paper. The English Language section is exclusively English, ensuring you practice exactly what you'll encounter on exam day. A significant portion of the series is free, for the same reason it's always been here — identifying your weak subjects shouldn't cost you before you even begin. As I prepare for my own CAPF and UPSC exams, I evaluate everything here with one question: will this really help someone before their CAPF 2027 written results are announced? If it won’t, it doesn’t get included. 8.

That ratio isn't arbitrary. UPSSSC typically shortlists 3 to 4 times the number of vacancies for DV, because a chunk of candidates get rejected at the document stage — wrong caste certificate format, expired EWS income certificate, diploma from an unrecognized institute, and so on. A 3.52x buffer gives the commission enough surplus to still fill all 283 seats after rejections. Post-wise Vacancy Split (As Per the Original 2023 Notification) Post Name General EWS OBC SC ST Total Nakshanveesh (Cartographer) 86 17 29 112 4 250 Manchitrak 16 3 6 6 2 33 Total 102 20 35 118 6 283 Pay structure: Both posts sit at Level-5 of the UP State 7th Pay Commission matrix — ₹29,200 to ₹92,300 basic pay, plus applicable DA, HRA, and other standard state government allowances. This is a step below Level-6 (₹35,400–₹1,12,400) that some technical posts carry — if you've seen that figure floating around for this exam, it's incorrect. Level-5 is what's attached to Nakshanavish/Manchitrak specifically. Official UPSSSC Nakshanavish & Manchitrak Cut-Off Marks 2026 (Advt 11-Exam/2023) Vertical (Category-Wise) Cut-Off Category Cut-Off Marks UR / General 51.50 OBC 50.00 EWS 47.50 SC 41.25 ST 38.75 Horizontal Reservation Cut-Off Category Cut-Off Marks Women 34.00 Dependents of Freedom Fighters (DFF) 28.00 Ex-Servicemen (ESM) 7.00 PwBD – Hearing Handicap (H.H.) 1.25 PwBD – One Arm (O.A.) 26.25 PwBD – One Leg (O.L.) 31.25 PwBD – Both Leg (B.L.) 22.75 PwBD – Locomotor (L.C.) 13.50 The notice also states that candidates were not available in a few PwBD sub-categories (including Dwarfism and Acid Attack Victims), and some horizontal categories weren't advertised for these two posts at all — so don't be alarmed if your specific sub-category doesn't appear. Why the Ex-Servicemen and DFF Cut-Offs Look "Low" If you're comparing this to other UPSSSC exams, the Ex-Servicemen cut-off of 7.00 and DFF cut-off of 28.00 might look surprisingly low next to the general cut-off of 51.50. This isn't a typo — horizontal cut-offs are calculated within the pool of candidates who qualify under that specific reservation category and clear the minimum eligibility threshold, not against the full applicant pool. A small number of ESM/DFF applicants for a niche technical post like Nakshanavish naturally produces a lower internal cut-off. It doesn't mean the exam was "easier" for that category — it means fewer people competed within it. Cut-Off Dynamics: What Actually Moved the Needle Two things typically decide where a technical-post cut-off lands: PET 2022 score weightage in the applicant pool — since eligibility to sit the mains exam was gated by UPSSSC PET, the pool skewed toward candidates who'd already cleared a competitive screening, which tends to push cut-offs up slightly compared to open-entry exams. Paper difficulty on 16 November 2025 — technical/drafting-heavy papers (civil engineering diploma-level content) usually produce a wider score spread than generic GK papers, which is part of why SC/ST cut-offs sit noticeably lower than UR/OBC/EWS here — a steeper drop-off in the mid-score range is typical for technical papers. How to Download UPSSSC Nakshanavish / Manchitrak Mains Result 2026 PDF Go to the official portal — open upsssc.gov.in in your browser. Don't use third-party mirror links; UPSSSC results are only authoritative from the official domain. Open the "Result" section on the homepage menu. Locate Advertisement No. 11-Exam/2023 — search "Nakshanavish and Manchitrak Mains Result" in the results list. Click the result/merit-list link, which redirects you to the candidate login dashboard. Log in using: Registration Number, Date of Birth, Gender, and the Verification Code (captcha). Submit to view your status — shortlisted or not shortlisted for DV. Download and save the PDF. Take a screenshot too; portal links occasionally go down under heavy traffic right after a result is declared. If "Sarkari Result UPSSSC Nakshanavish" or "upsssc.gov.in 2026 mains result" is what brought you here — this is the exact path. Skip any site asking for payment or additional personal details to "unlock" your result; UPSSSC never charges for result access. UPSSSC Nakshanavish / Manchitrak Document Verification (DV): What's Confirmed and What Isn't Status as of this writing: UPSSSC has not yet released a formal DV schedule (dates, reporting slots, or venue notice) for Advt 11-Exam/2023. The commission's result notice states only that eligibility/document verification is the next stage — candidates need to keep checking upsssc.gov.in for the call letter and schedule. Any site giving you a specific DV date right now is guessing; treat it as unconfirmed until UPSSSC publishes an actual notice. What we do know: UPSSSC's headquarters — where DV for most of its central recruitment drives is conducted — is located at 3rd Floor, Pickup Bhawan, Vibhuti Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow – 226010. This is the commission's standard verification venue for Lucknow-based DV rounds, though UPSSSC can also assign satellite venues for large candidate pools. The DV call letter, when released, will be downloadable the same way as the mains result — via registration number and DOB login on the official portal. Technical Eligibility Scrutiny: Civil Engineering Diploma vs. ITI Draftsman Certificate This is the part most portals gloss over, and it's where a real chunk of the 997 candidates could get rejected. The original notification lists two separate qualification routes to the same post: Route 1 — Diploma in Civil Engineering (3-year, AICTE/state board recognized) OR Certificate in Cartography from specified institutions (Roorkee University, AMU, BHU, Govt. Art College Lucknow) Route 2 — ITI Certificate in Nakshanveesh (Draftsman trade) At DV, scrutiny officers verify these very differently: Check Point Civil Engineering Diploma Route ITI Draftsman Certificate Route Recognizing Body AICTE / State Board of Technical Education NCVT / SCVT Duration Requirement Full 3-year diploma (part-time/lateral entry diplomas face extra scrutiny) 2-year ITI trade certificate, typically accepted as-is if from a recognized ITI Marksheet Cross-Check All semester marksheets + provisional/final diploma certificate Trade certificate + NCVT/SCVT verification Common Rejection Reason Diploma from an unrecognized private polytechnic, or a "diploma equivalent" certificate not on the state's approved list Certificate from an unrecognized private ITI, or an expired/unrenewed registration Typically Favored For General technical drafting proficiency + broader civil engineering fundamentals Post-specific drafting and tracing skill validation The practical takeaway: candidates coming through the diploma route need their institution to appear on the UP Directorate of Technical Education's recognized list, and candidates coming through the ITI route need NCVT/SCVT affiliation proof, not just the certificate itself. Scrutiny officers commonly ask for the original registration/enrollment number alongside the certificate — carry that even if it's not explicitly listed on the checklist. Mandatory DV Document Checklist (Standard for UPSSSC Technical Posts) Based on UPSSSC's standard document-verification format for technical drafting/cartography posts, keep these ready: High School (Class 10) marksheet and certificate — for DOB and name verification Intermediate (Class 12) marksheet, if applicable to your route Diploma in Civil Engineering / Cartography Certificate / ITI Draftsman Certificate (original + attested photocopy) UPSSSC PET 2022 scorecard Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC), issued within the validity window UPSSSC specifies in the DV notice EWS certificate for the current financial year (EWS certificates typically expire annually — an old one will get you rejected on the spot) Domicile / residency certificate for Uttar Pradesh Aadhaar card or another government photo ID Character certificate, where required Passport-size photographs matching the ones uploaded during application Original mains admit card and result printout Important Dates & Timeline (Advt 11-Exam/2023) Event Date Application Window 18 December 2023 – 08 January 2024 Correction Window Closed 15 January 2024 Eligibility (PET-based) Result 17 May 2025 Written (Mains) Exam 16 November 2025 Mains Result Declared 07 September 2026 DV Call Letter / Schedule Awaited — check upsssc.gov.in Final Selection Result To be announced after DV completion Important Links Table Resource Link UPSSSC Official Website upsssc.gov.in Related UP State Result UPSSSC Female Health Worker Selection Result Free mock tests Attempt Free UPSSSC & Civil Engineering Mock Tests Latest Govt jbs Latest Uttar Pradesh Government Recruitment Alerts Admit Cards Latest Admit Cards 2026 UPSSSC changes its direct PDF links periodically — always navigate via the official homepage rather than bookmarking a deep link, to avoid outdated URLs.

SSC Stenographer Tier 1 Admit Card 2026: Download at ssc.gov.in
Last Update: 08 September 2026 SSC Stenographer Tier 1 Admit Card 2026 Released: Download Grade C & D Hall Ticket, Check Exam City Status & Shift Timings The admit card for the SSC Stenographer Tier-1 Grade 'C' and Grade 'D' Computer-Based Examination has been issued by the Staff Selection Commission. Candidates were able to view their hall tickets by region from 6 September 2026 onwards, prior to the exam period beginning on 9 September 2026. The one thing you need to make sure of before doing anything else if you're taking this exam is that the paper contains no section on Mathematics or Numerical Aptitude. If your preparation has simply become focused on quantitative practice because of the way previous SSC exams were structured, then it would be better to spend that time somewhere else. All the details have been confirmed—see the download instructions, the precise 200-mark breakdown by subject, the shift and gate rules, and the ID document requirement, which catches more candidates by surprise than any other rule on this admit card. .steno-table-wrap{overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;margin:16px 0;max-width:100%;} .steno-table{width:100%;min-width:520px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;} .steno-table th,.steno-table td{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;} .steno-table th{background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:480px){.steno-table{font-size:13px;}.steno-table th,.steno-table td{padding:6px 8px;}} SSC Stenographer Tier-1 Admit Card 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Conducting Body Staff Selection Commission (SSC), New Delhi Exam Name Stenographer Grade 'C' & Grade 'D' Examination, 2026 Governing Notice SSC Notice No. HQ-C1102/2026 Exam Stage Tier-I / Computer-Based Examination (CBE) Total Vacancies About 1,275 (Revised and Tentative) City Intimation Slip Released 31 August 2026 Admit Card Release Date 6 September 2026 onward (region-wise) Tier-I Exam Window 9 – 12 September 2026 Selection Stages Tier-I (CBE), Skill Test (Stenography Dictation & Transcription) Official Website ssc.gov.in A Note on the Exam Date Window You might have come across slightly different dates for the exam window being given out — certain sources refer to a temporary extension until 15 September before the SSC cancelled the change to the schedule. According to the latest official update, the Tier-I Computer-Based Examination will take place from 9 to 12 September 2026. As this timetable has already been altered once this cycle, the exam date printed on your personal admit card should be regarded as the final one, even if it differs from that in any third-party article. The Differentiator Every Candidate Must Get Right: No Maths, But a Strict ID Rule More than any other item on the syllabus side, two facts are what define this exam. First of all, there is no section on Quantitative Aptitude or Mathematics in this paper at all; the 200 marks are completely divided among English Language & Comprehension (100 marks), General Intelligence & Reasoning (50 marks), and General Awareness (50 marks). If you've been preparing for the SSC CGL or CHSL exams where the Maths section makes up a quarter of the paper, you should adjust your approach now since all 200 of your marks here come from language, logic, and general awareness, not from calculation. The second point—this is the rule which causes otherwise well-prepared candidates problems on the day of the exam—is that your original photo identification must show your full date of birth exactly as it appears on your admit card. If the ID you are using—for example, a PAN Card or a Voter ID that only displays your age and not your full date of birth—does not include your complete date of birth, then you must also carry an original 10th class (Matriculation) marksheet or certificate as proof of your date of birth. Otherwise, the exam centre staff are entitled to refuse your entry completely, no matter how correctly you have filled in and downloaded all the other information. How to Download Your SSC Stenographer Tier-I Admit Card 2026 Go to the official website at ssc.gov.in. The fact that SSC provides Stenographer admission cards on a regional basis means that you should go to the website of the particular Regional SSC Office if the hall ticket does not show up on the main portal. Check under the Admit Card or Notice Board section for the notice titled 'Admit Card for Stenographer Grade 'C' & 'D' Examination, 2026'. Click on the link and log in with your Registration Number or Roll Number and your Date of Birth or Password. Make sure that your Tier-I hall ticket appears on the screen and carefully check your name, photograph, roll number, exam date, shift, reporting time, gate closure time, and the address of the centre. Get the PDF and print out at least two clear copies before the date of your exam. If your admit card still isn't appearing: the SSC will activate the download links on a regional basis in stages rather than releasing all the regions at the same time. Instead of thinking that there is a technical error, keep checking near your particular exam date during the 9 to 12 September period. SSC Stenographer Tier-I: 200-Mark Subject Distribution Section Subject Number of Questions Maximum Marks Part I General Intelligence & Reasoning 50 50 Part II General Awareness 50 50 Part III English Language & Comprehension 100 100 Total — 200 200 Key Exam Rules The total time allowed is two hours, with the time for each section strictly enforced—usually 30 minutes for Part I and Part II and 60 minutes for Part III—making a total of the full two hours. Candidates who are eligible for scribe assistance are given extra time, the total amount being about two hours and forty minutes (the time being increased in proportion for each section). For each wrong answer, 0.25 marks are deducted. The exam does not have a Quantitative Aptitude/Mathematics section at any stage of the CBT. The questions are given in both Hindi and English with the exception of the English Language & Comprehension section, which consists solely of English. Shift Timings & Gate Closing Protocol At each centre, the Tier-I exam takes place in a number of shifts each day throughout the period from 9 to 12 September. Detail Guidance Number of Shifts Typically 2–3 shifts per day per centre Reporting Time As specifically printed on your individual admit card — arrive well ahead of this Gate Closure Time Strictly enforced; typically closes 30 minutes before the shift's scheduled start Candidates Without Aadhaar Authentication Advised to report at least 2 hours before the scheduled shift time for additional verification Exam Duration Per Shift 2 hours (extended for eligible scribe candidates) This must absolutely be adhered to: if the gate closing time has passed, you will in no way be allowed in, even if your shift has not yet technically begun. The exact times for reporting and for the gate closing are specific to each shift and are given only on your personal hall ticket—do not use a general timing table from any source, including this one, when planning your personal schedule on the day of the exam. Mandatory ID Document Checklist for Exam Day Carry every item below without exception — SSC exam centres apply these rules strictly and uniformly: Printed copy of the SSC Stenographer Tier-I Admit Card 2026 (clear printout, both pages if applicable) One valid original photo ID proof — Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Driving Licence, Passport, or PAN Card If your photo ID does not display your complete Date of Birth, you must additionally carry an original 10th (Matriculation) pass certificate, or another accepted DOB proof such as a birth certificate, as specified in the official notice Two recent passport-size colour photographs, especially if you have not completed Aadhaar-based authentication during application Category certificate (if applicable), for reserved-category candidates PwBD/Scribe-related documentation, if applicable to your case The following items are not permitted in the examination room: mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, all kinds of electronic devices, bags, and any form of written material. Since most examination centres do not offer secure storage, it is advisable to leave them with someone who is outside the venue or in your car.

SSC CHSL Recruitment 2026: Apply for 2536 LDC/DEO Posts
For the SSC CHSL recruitment in 2026, apply online for 2,536 LDC, JSA and DEO positions at ssc.gov.in, check your eligibility with a 10+2 qualification, and find out the salary levels 2 to 4 and the exam pattern. The SSC Staff Selection Commission has issued the notification for the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination in 2026, providing for 2,536 tentative positions for the posts of Lower Divisional Clerk (LDC), Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA), Data Entry Operator (DEO), and DEO Grade 'A' across the Central Government's Ministries, Departments and Offices. The online applications became available on 7 September 2026 and must be submitted by 7 October 2026 at 11:00 PM. For a 12th-pass candidate who is looking to secure your first post with the Central Government, this notice includes more alterations than is the case with the usual annual repetition—there is now a new sectional timing, a rule requiring exam centres to be locked according to region, and a compulsory need to carry out a fresh registration on the SSC's new portal. Below is all that has been confirmed, set out in such a way that you will know precisely what is different this year and what has not changed. .chsl-table-wrap{overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;margin:16px 0;max-width:100%;} .chsl-table{width:100%;min-width:520px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;} .chsl-table th,.chsl-table td{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;} .chsl-table th{background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:480px){.chsl-table{font-size:13px;}.chsl-table th,.chsl-table td{padding:6px 8px;}} SSC CHSL Recruitment 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Recruiting Body Staff Selection Commission (SSC), New Delhi Exam Name Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2026 Advertisement Number HQ-C1102/5/2026-C-1 Posts LDC/JSA, DEO, DEO Grade 'A' Total Vacancies About 2,536 (Tentative) Notification Release Date 7 September 2026 Application Start Date 7 September 2026 Last Date to Apply Online 7 October 2026, 11:00 PM Last Date for Fee Payment 8 October 2026, 11:00 PM Application Correction Window 14–16 October 2026 Age Limit 18 to 27 years (as on 1 August 2026) Selection Stages Tier-I (CBE), Tier-II (CBE + Skill/Typing Test), Document Verification Official Website ssc.gov.in Why This Year's Notification Is Different: Changes Every Candidate Must Know Do not regard this as a simple repetition of last year's CHSL cycle since SSC has introduced several structural changes this time which have a direct impact on your preparation and application. Vacancies Down Nearly 19% From 2025 The SSC CHSL 2025 recruitment included 3,131 vacancies; the 2,536 tentative positions for this year amount to about a 19% decrease. This does not indicate that your chances have diminished – instead, it suggests that the competition for each post will be more intense, so you should approach both Tier-I and Tier-II with equal seriousness rather than treating Tier-I as if it were a formality. New Sectional Timing Introduced in Tier-I and Tier-II SSC is making sectional timing available for both parts of the CHSL test for the first time. This represents a significant change from the previous composite-timing system, under which candidates were free to move between sections within the total time allowed. Nowadays, once the time allowed for a section has expired, you can no longer go back to it—so you should plan your pacing section by section during your preparation, not on the day of the exam. Exam Centre Choice Now Locked to a Single SSC Region Before now, candidates have at times been able to choose exam centre preferences that included centres in different regions. However, according to the 2026 notification, all three of your centre preferences must be within the same SSC region. Make sure to carefully check the list of centres for your region before you submit your application, as you can no longer do it to make it more convenient or because of availability. Correction Window Extended to 3 Days The period allowed for making corrections to the application has now been extended from the previous two-day timeframe to 14–16 October 2026 — that is, by three full days. Make good use of this time to rectify any errors in your application, since this is your last opportunity to make changes after having submitted it. Post-wise Breakdown: LDC, JSA, DEO & DEO Grade 'A' Post Pay Level Nature of Work Typing/Skill Requirement Lower Divisional Clerk (LDC) / Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA) Level-2 General clerical and secretarial assistance duties in Central Government Ministries/Departments Typing Test: 35 wpm (English) or 30 wpm (Hindi) on computer Data Entry Operator (DEO) Level-4 Data entry and computer-based operational work in specified departments Data Entry Speed Test: 8,000 key depressions per hour on computer Data Entry Operator Grade 'A' Level-4 Similar to DEO, typically posted in specific offices such as C&AG under stricter speed norms Data Entry Speed Test: 8,000 key depressions per hour on computer As for deciding your preference, it should be noted that LDC/JSA positions are available in a wider range of ministries, whereas DEO and DEO Grade 'A' posts, although offering a higher salary, are limited to certain departments and include a strict requirement regarding typing speed and data entry. If your typing speed isn't already good, begin practicing at this time — this is a qualifying requirement which you cannot omit no matter how well you do in the written examinations. SSC CHSL 2026 Eligibility Criteria Educational Qualification It is necessary to have passed the Class 12 (10+2) or a similar qualification from a recognised board or university. People who are waiting for their 12th result or whose results have already been announced by 7 October 2026 are also entitled to apply, on the condition that they can provide evidence of having passed by the date given in the notice. Age Limit Minimum Age: 18 years Maximum Age: 27 years The age is that as of 1 August 2026. For the SC/ST category, a relaxation of 5 years; for OBC, 3 years; for PwBD, 10 years (and in the case of combinations of PwBD with OBC or SC/ST, an additional relaxation is provided); and for the ex-servicemen category, the relaxations are in accordance with the norms of the Government of India. SSC CHSL Salary 2026: Level-2 vs Level-4 Pay Level Applicable Posts Pay Scale Range Approx. Starting Gross Salary Level-2 LDC / JSA ₹19,900 to ₹63,200 About ₹25,000 to ₹29,000 per month Level-4 DEO / DEO Grade 'A' ₹25,500 to ₹81,100 Approx. ₹31,000 to ₹36,000 per month The actual amount you take home will depend on the classification of the city where you are posted (X/Y/Z) since the rates for the Dearness Allowance and the House Rent Allowance differ according to this classification. Posts held by DEO and DEO Grade 'A' have a considerably higher pay level than those of LDC/JSA right from the start, so this point should be taken into account if you are deciding which post to prefer and are confident of passing the data-entry speed test. SSC CHSL Application Fee 2026 Category Application Fee General / OBC / EWS (Male) ₹100 All Female Candidates (Any Category) Exempted SC / ST Exempted PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) Exempted Ex-Servicemen Exempted You have the option of paying the fees online using BHIM UPI, net banking, or eligible debit or credit cards. If you belong to any of the categories that are exempt, you can leave out the payment stage when you submit your application. Step-by-Step: How to Apply for SSC CHSL 2026 on the New SSC Portal Step 1: Complete One-Time Registration (OTR) The SSC is now carrying out all its operations on its new website. In the event that your OTR was produced using the earlier portal, it will not be transferred to you and therefore you will have to complete a new OTR based on your Aadhaar on the present ssc.gov.in system before you can go ahead with an application. Do not suppose that a previous registration from an earlier CHSL or another SSC exam cycle will still be valid; you must first check your OTR status. Step 2: Capture Your Live Photograph A rule which causes many applicants who are applying for the first time to make a mistake is that the new application module demands a live photograph to be taken directly through the portal, either by means of your webcam or an Android device—photos that have been stored earlier or already saved are not accepted. When taking the photograph keep the following points in mind: Select a spot that has good and even lighting and a simple background. Set your webcam or camera so that it is at eye level. Look directly ahead and meet the camera. While the photograph is being taken, don't wear a cap, a mask, sunglasses, or spectacles. Step 3: Fill Personal, Educational & Exam Centre Details Log in with your Registration Number and Password, then click 'Apply' for the CHSL 2026 notification. Carefully enter your personal information, details of your educational qualification, and your category information. When you are choosing exam centres, make sure that all three of your preferences are within the same SSC Region. Step 4: Upload Signature and Pay the Fee Scan your signature and upload it in JPEG format (the file size is usually between 10 and 20 KB, as stated in the notification). If you are not in an exempted group, pay the application fee online. Step 5: Preview, Submit, and Print Check all the details that have been entered on the Preview page. When you are certain that all the information is correct, click to submit the form and print or save the confirmation page together with your registration number. Errors which cause applications to be flagged or rejected include using an old photograph rather than carrying out live capture, choosing examination centres in different SSC Regions, having a mismatched signature file size, and providing incomplete details of the category certificate for applicants in reserved categories. Before making the final submission, check all of these points. SSC CHSL 2026 Exam Pattern: Tier-I and Tier-II Tier-I Pattern (Computer-Based Examination) Section Subject Number of Questions Maximum Marks 1 General Intelligence 25 50 2 General Awareness 25 50 3 Quantitative Aptitude 25 50 4 English Language 25 50 Total — 100 200 Tier-I lasts for a total of 60 minutes (this is extended to 80 minutes in the case of candidates who are eligible for scribe assistance). There is a negative marking of 0.50 marks for each incorrect answer, and Tier-I functions as a qualifying stage by which candidates are shortlisted for Tier-II according to the cut-offs set by category. Tier-II Pattern: Two Sessions, One Day Tier-II takes place over two sessions on the same day, the first session being for the written portions and the second session for the Skill Test/Typing Test. Section Components Questions Marks Duration Section-I Mathematical Abilities + Reasoning & General Intelligence 60 180 1 hour Section-II English Language & Comprehension + General Awareness 60 180 1 hour Section-III Computer Knowledge Test 15 45 15 minutes Session-I Total — 135 405 2 hours 15 minutes Session-II Skill Test / Typing Test Qualifying — Post-specific duration Candidates must qualify all sections of Tier-II individually, not just the overall total — a strong score in one section cannot compensate for failing to meet the minimum in another. How the New Sectional Timing Changes Your Strategy Since both Tier-I and Tier-II now enforce section-wise time limits rather than one composite timer, you can no longer "borrow" extra time from a section you finish early to spend on a harder one. If General Awareness typically takes you longer than Quantitative Aptitude, for instance, you need to build that pacing into your practice now, since the exam interface will lock you out of a section the moment its allotted time expires. Skill Test / Typing Test (Session-II / Tier-III Equivalent) LDC/JSA: Typing Test at 35 words per minute (English) or 30 words per minute (Hindi) on computer. DEO/DEO Grade 'A': Data Entry Speed Test at 8,000 key depressions per hour on computer. This stage is purely qualifying — candidates must clear the prescribed speed but don't earn additional merit marks for exceeding it.

For a graduate or postgraduate considering this option in comparison with other opportunities in the PSU sector such as those with LIC AAO, NIACL AO, or GIC Re, the following information has been taken directly from the notification — regarding the split of the vacancies, eligibility, the two-stage examination pattern, and the actual pay scale. .uiic-table-wrap{overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;margin:16px 0;max-width:100%;} .uiic-table{width:100%;min-width:520px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;} .uiic-table th,.uiic-table td{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;} .uiic-table th{background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:480px){.uiic-table{font-size:13px;}.uiic-table th,.uiic-table td{padding:6px 8px;}} UIIC AO Scale-I Recruitment 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Recruiting Organisation United India Insurance Company Limited (UIIC), Head Office, Chennai Post Name Administrative Officer (Scale-I) Disciplines Generalists and Hindi Officers Total Vacancies 225 (Provisional) Notification Date 7 September 2026 Online Application Start Date 8 September 2026 Last Date to Apply Online 28 September 2026 Phase-I (Preliminary) Exam Date 22 October 2026 (Tentative) Phase-II (Main) Exam Date 30 November 2026 (Tentative) Age Limit 21 to 30 years (as on 30 June 2026) Official Website uiic.co.in The Key Differentiator: This Isn't Just a Generalist-Only Drive The reason why this recruitment deserves to be read carefully rather than just glanced at is that out of the 225 posts, 200 are open to any graduate—whether they have a B.A., B.Sc., B.Com., B.Tech., or indeed any other degree—as long as they achieve the required minimum of 60% (55% for candidates from SC/ST/PwBD communities). It is not necessary to have a specific background in finance, insurance, or commerce if you are applying for the Generalist stream. The 25 posts left are set aside for Hindi Officers and are intended for candidates who have the appropriate academic background in Hindi and English translation, generally meaning that they hold a postgraduate degree in Hindi with English studied at the degree level or the other way around — however, it is essential to check the exact qualification requirement for this particular stream in the official notification PDF before applying. The two streams adhere to the same examination and selection schedule: the Phase-I Preliminary on 22 October 2026, the Phase-II Main on 30 November 2026, and then an interview stage. Stream-wise Vacancy Breakdown Post Discipline Vacancies Minimum Educational Qualification Administrative Officer (Scale-I) Generalists 200 Graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, minimum 60% marks (55% for SC/ST/PwBD) Administrative Officer (Scale-I) Hindi Officers 25 Postgraduate degree in Hindi with English as a subject at graduation level (or equivalent combination as specified in the official notification) Total — 225 — It should be noted that the number of vacancies is provisional and may be altered according to UIIC's organizational needs when the final selection is made. The breakdown of vacancies by category (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PwBD) within each stream is given in the official notification PDF and should be checked directly according to your own category. Eligibility Criteria Educational Qualification (Generalists) Graduation from any discipline at a university that is recognized by the UGC. General, EWS, and OBC candidates need at least 60% total marks. SC/ST/PwBD candidates must obtain a minimum of 55% in the aggregate. Age Limit Minimum Age: 21 years Maximum Age: 30 years The age will be calculated as of 30 June 2026, obliging candidates to have been born no earlier than 30 June 1996 and no later than 30 June 2005 (both dates being inclusive). In accordance with the norms of the Government of India, age relaxation is available to reserved categories and the total age relaxation that can be granted to candidates who are eligible under more than one category should not exceed 45 years. Nationality Indian citizens are eligible, together with all the other categories of nationality, as expressly allowed under the official notification (for example, subjects of Nepal, Bhutan, certain categories of Tibetan refugees, and persons of Indian origin who have migrated from specified countries, in accordance with the standard eligibility rules of the Government of India for such recruitments). Phase-I & Phase-II Examination Pattern Phase-I: Preliminary Examination (22 October 2026) Section Number of Questions Maximum Marks Duration English Language 30 30 Composite time Reasoning Ability 35 35 Composite time Numerical Ability 35 35 Composite time Total 100 100 60 Minutes The Preliminary Examination serves only as a qualifying stage; although candidates have to meet both the sectional and the overall cut-offs in order to be shortlisted for Phase-II, their Prelims marks are not included in the final merit list. Phase-II: Main Examination (30 November 2026) Section Number of Questions Maximum Marks Duration Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude 40 40 Composite time (Objective) English Language 40 40 Composite time (Objective) General Awareness 40 40 Composite time (Objective) Quantitative Aptitude 40 40 Composite time (Objective) Insurance & Financial Market Awareness 30 30 Composite time (Objective) Descriptive Test (Essay/Letter/Précis) 2 25 Separate timed section Total (Objective + Descriptive) — 215 — In the objective sections of both the Prelims and the Mains, a deduction of 0.25 marks is made for each incorrect answer, which is why it is important to make calculated attempts rather than guess randomly at this stage. Interview Those who pass the Main Examination (with the combined cut-off of the objective and descriptive portions) are invited to take a Personal Interview, this interview being given additional weight in the preparation of the final merit list together with the marks obtained in the Main Examination. Salary & Allowances Breakdown Component Details Starting Basic Pay ₹82,485 per month Pay Scale ₹82,485 – 4,050 (14) – ₹1,39,185 – 4,390 (4) – ₹1,56,745 Estimated Gross Monthly Income (Metro Centres) About ₹1,10,000 Estimated Gross Monthly Income (Other Centres) Could be a bit less than the metro figure, depending on the relevant City Compensatory Allowance and HRA rate bracket — some sources have quoted ₹88,000 for non-metro appointments as well Additional Perks Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, City Compensatory Allowance, Leave Travel Subsidy, Medical Benefits, Group Personal Accident Insurance, Performance Linked Incentive, National Pension System, Leased Accommodation (as applicable) Probation Period 1 year, extendable as per organizational discretion Minimum Service Bond 5 years, including probation period As for the total gross amount, UIIC's own figures relating to salaries most frequently give an approximate monthly gross pay of ₹1,10,000 at Metropolitan Centres. Figures around ₹88,000 probably apply to non-metropolitan areas or to postings in lower-classified cities, where the HRA and City Compensatory Allowance bands are smaller. The amount you actually receive home after deductions will vary according to your posting location — see the detailed allowances table in the official notification for the exact figures by city.

Bihar DElEd 2nd Merit List 2026: Download at deledbihar.in
Last Update: 07 September 2026 The second merit list for Bihar's DElEd in 2026 has been announced: you can download your college seat allotment intimation letter and check the admission schedule at results.deledbihar.in. The Bihar School Examination Board published its Bihar DElEd 2nd Merit List 2026 on 5 September 2026, and should your name be on the list you will have a strict four-day period in which to take action. Applications based on this list will only be accepted from 5 to 8 September 2026 — if you fail to do so, the BSEB may permanently cancel your candidacy for this counselling cycle, no matter what your merit rank is. The guide shows you the steps for downloading your seat allotment letter, explains precisely how the slide-up option functions this year, and, most important of all, makes clear a rule which confuses more candidates than any other aspect of the process: you cannot use slide-up as a substitute for securing admission. .deled-table-wrap{overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;margin:16px 0;max-width:100%;} .deled-table{width:100%;min-width:520px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;} .deled-table th,.deled-table td{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;} .deled-table th{background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:480px){.deled-table{font-size:13px;}.deled-table th,.deled-table td{padding:6px 8px;}} Bihar DElEd 2nd Merit List 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Conducting Body Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB), Patna Exam Name D.El.Ed Joint Entrance Test 2026 Course 2-Year Diploma in Elementary Education (2026–28 Session) Total Seats 30,750 (Government: 9,100 across 60 colleges; Private: 21,650 across 246 colleges) 2nd Merit List Release Date 5 September 2026 Admission Period (2nd List) 5 September – 8 September 2026 Slide-Up Window (2nd Round) 5 September – 8 September 2026 Security Deposit Required ₹3,000 (one-time, at first admission) Official Websites results.deledbihar.in, bsebdeled.com, and secondary.biharboardonline.com Why This Diploma Matters Beyond the Merit List If you're applying for this place, you will already be aware of the endgame, namely that the D.El.Ed qualification is the diploma which makes it possible for you to take the BPSC Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE) for elementary-level teaching positions in Bihar. This second merit list is not merely about securing a college place—it is the first step onto that longer career pathway for teachers. Which is precisely the reason why it is so important to get the admission ranking right this week. The Rule That Will Cost You Your Seat If You Get It Wrong Before you carry out anything else, read this section twice. You are required to pay the ₹3,000 security deposit and to officially apply for admission to the college that has been allocated to you in this second Merit List by 8 September 2026 if you are to consider attempting the Slide-Up option. Slide-Up is not an alternative to admission; it is a request which can only be made after you have already obtained the place you currently have. The reason this causes problems for candidates is that a large number of them think that, since their aim is to get into a better college by means of slide-up, they can skip the formal admission process at the college to which they have currently been allotted and just wait around. This is quite the reverse of the correct approach and represents a serious error. Should you not finish your admission and make the payment within the 5 to 8 September period, BSEB will regard this as abandoning the opportunity. Your position in this round will then be permanently cancelled and you will also be excluded from consideration for the next round's allotment — your merit rank will not shield you from this result. The Correct Sequence Get your letter allocating your second Merit List quota. Go to the college that has been assigned to you and leave the security deposit of ₹3,000. Enroll fully and formally at that institute by 8 September 2026. At that point you should log back into the student portal and if you want one, make a Slide-Up request for a higher-preference university. If a seat with a higher priority becomes available to you in a subsequent list, then the seat you currently have becomes vacant and is redistributed, but your admission status remains secure during this time. The one-time payment of ₹3,000 will be transferred to your new college instead of being charged again if you are moved to a different one by slide-up. Has the Second Merit List for the Bihar DElEd Course in 2026 Been Released? Yes, the BSEB announced on 5 September 2026 the release of the second Merit List, the category-wise cut-off ranks, and the individual allotment letters, all of which could be viewed directly via the candidate's login on results.deledbihar.in and bsebdeled.com. Step-by-Step: How to Download Your Seat Allotment Intimation Letter Go to the official website — results.deledbihar.in or bsebdeled.com. Find the link on the homepage marked 'D.El.Ed Admission 2nd Merit List 2026' or 'Download Allotment Letter'. By clicking on the link, you will be taken to the page where you can log in or view the results. Input your Application Number / Application ID and Date of Birth exactly as they were recorded when you completed your Common Application Form (CAF). Load your result and allotment status by clicking on View or Submit. If you are given a seat, the letter informing you of your college seat allocation will show on screen — be sure to check the name of the college, its code, the category, and the reporting deadline. Download the PDF and get yourself at least two printed copies, keeping one for the college and one as a personal record. If your name isn't shown among the allotments, look to see if it appears under 'waiting' or 'not selected', as these statuses have different subsequent actions. You can get your results by going to secondary.biharboardonline.com, which uses the same login system as that used for the other BSEB counselling processes. Mandatory Documents Checklist for Admission Carry these originals plus one self-attested photocopy of each when reporting to your allotted institute — colleges will not process admission with incomplete documentation: 2nd Merit List Seat Allotment Intimation Letter (printed copy) Admit Card and Scorecard for the D.El.Ed Joint Entrance Test 2026 Intermediate (12th) or Graduation marksheet and certificate, as applicable to your qualifying criteria Matriculation certificate, for date of birth proof Caste/Category certificate (if applicable — SC/ST/BC/EBC/EWS) Domicile certificate (Bihar residence proof) Income certificate, if claiming EWS or fee concession Valid original photo ID (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, or equivalent) Recent passport-size photographs (as specified by the institute) Proof of ₹3,000 security deposit payment (receipt/transaction record) Any category-specific relaxation certificate used during CAF filling Bihar DElEd Counselling 2026: Full Round-by-Round Schedule Event Date Online CAF Application Period 10 August – 16/24 August 2026 (Extended) First Selection List Release 20 August 2026 Admission on First Selection List 20 – 24 August 2026 Slide-Up After First Admission 20 – 24 August 2026 Institute Seat Update (Round 1) 25 August 2026 New Choice Filling for Unselected Candidates Till 3 September 2026 Second Selection List Release 5 September 2026 Admission on Second Selection List 5 – 8 September 2026 Slide-Up After Second Admission 5 – 8 September 2026 Institute Final Seat Update (Round 2) After 8 September 2026 Regarding the numbering: different sources refer to the counselling rounds using slightly different numbers (such as the 2nd versus the 3rd list) because the timing of when the schedule was published varies, as the BSEB has extended the dates more than once during this cycle. This article adopts the numbering used by BSEB itself — treating the list issued on 5 September 2026, with admissions due by 8 September, as the 2nd Merit List — this is in line with the information available on the official websites deledbihar.in and bsebdeled.com. The dates that you see on your personal login should always be taken as final, even if they conflict with any third-party schedule, including this one. What Will Occur If You Are Not Included in This List? That doesn't mean you're finished just because your name isn't on the 2nd Merit List. Generally, the BSEB permits candidates who have not yet been selected to submit new or altered preferences for institutes for consideration in the following round, especially in view of seats that have become vacant due to slide-up movements and non-joiners. During this period, you should regularly check your login status on results.deledbihar.in rather than simply assuming that your chances have disappeared.

Rajasthan SET Admit Card 2026: Download at uok.ac.in
Last Update: 07 September 2026 Rajasthan SET Admit Card 2026 Released: Download UOK State Eligibility Test Hall Ticket, Check 13 September Exam Timings & Guidelines The University of Kota has released the Rajasthan SET Admit Card 2026 for candidates appearing in the State Eligibility Test on 13 September 2026 (Sunday). If you registered for this exam to secure your Assistant Professor eligibility certificate, this hall ticket is the one document you cannot afford to get wrong — it carries your exam center address, your reporting time, and the login details you'll need before gate closure. Here's what makes this exam different from a typical postgraduate eligibility test: it runs as a single, unbroken 3-hour session with zero break between Paper 1 and Paper 2, and there's no negative marking anywhere in the paper. Both of these facts should directly shape how you plan your exam day and how you approach the OMR sheet itself. Below is the complete breakdown — download steps, timing rules, exam centers, and the document checklist you need before 13 September. .rset-table-wrap{overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;margin:16px 0;max-width:100%;} .rset-table{width:100%;min-width:520px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;} .rset-table th,.rset-table td{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;} .rset-table th{background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:480px){.rset-table{font-size:13px;}.rset-table th,.rset-table td{padding:6px 8px;}} Rajasthan SET Admit Card 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Conducting Body University of Kota (UOK), Rajasthan Exam Name Rajasthan State Eligibility Test (SET) 2026 Purpose Eligibility for Assistant Professor / Lecturer posts in Rajasthan colleges and universities Number of Subjects 35+ subjects Exam Date 13 September 2026 (Sunday) Exam Timing 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM (Single Shift) Exam Duration 3 Hours (180 minutes), continuous, no break Admit Card Release On or around 5 September 2026 Application Closed On 10 August 2026 Exam Mode Offline (OMR-based, Pen & Paper) Official Website uok.ac.in Is the Rajasthan SET Admit Card 2026 Released? Yes — the University of Kota has made the hall ticket available on uok.ac.in in the days leading up to the 13 September exam, consistent with its usual practice of releasing admit cards roughly a week before the test date. If you don't see your card yet, don't panic; keep refreshing the official portal directly rather than relying on third-party mirror links, since only uok.ac.in and the linked SSO Rajasthan portal issue the authentic hall ticket. The Differentiator That Actually Changes Your Exam Strategy Most exam-alert articles treat "no negative marking" and "single continuous session" as throwaway facts. They shouldn't be. Here's why both matter more than they first appear: No break between Paper 1 and Paper 2 means you walk into the hall at 11:00 AM and don't get up again until 2:00 PM. Paper 1 (50 questions, teaching and research aptitude) and Paper 2 (100 questions, subject-specific) are administered as one continuous OMR exercise. Plan your hydration and washroom visit before 10:30 AM — once you're seated and the exam begins, there's no scheduled pause to step out. No negative marking changes how you should handle uncertain questions entirely. Each correct answer earns 2 marks, and a wrong answer costs you nothing. This means guessing is mathematically safer than leaving a question blank — with 150 questions worth 300 total marks and zero penalty for errors, every single question deserves an attempt, even a pure guess in your final few minutes. Strict 10:30 AM gate closure is the other detail candidates underestimate. Since the exam starts at 11:00 AM, University of Kota's gate closure rule typically locks entry 30 minutes before the shift begins. Arriving even five minutes past the cutoff, due to traffic or a wrong center address, can mean losing your seat entirely — plan to reach your center by 10:00 AM at the latest. Rajasthan SET 2026: 150-Question Examination Structure Paper Subject Focus Number of Questions Marks per Question Total Marks Duration Paper 1 Teaching & Research Aptitude, Reasoning, Comprehension (Common for All) 50 2 100 Part of the 3-hour combined session Paper 2 Candidate's Chosen Subject (Subject-Specific) 100 2 200 Part of the 3-hour combined session Total — 150 — 300 3 Hours (11:00 AM – 2:00 PM), No Break Key Exam Rules All questions are objective-type Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). Question papers are bilingual — available in both Hindi and English. There is no negative marking for incorrect answers. Unanswered questions receive zero marks, with no penalty either way. Both Paper 1 and Paper 2 are compulsory for every candidate, regardless of subject. How to Download the Rajasthan SET Admit Card 2026 Visit the official website — uok.ac.in. On the homepage, locate the notice under "Important Links" titled "State Eligibility Test (SET) Admit Card 2026." Click the link — you'll be redirected to the admit card download page. Enter your Application Number and Date of Birth / Password, as generated during your original registration. Submit the details and your e-admit card will load on screen. Verify every detail carefully — your name, photograph, application number, subject, exam center address, and reporting time. Download the PDF and print at least two clear copies before exam day. Candidates can alternatively access their admit card through the Rajasthan SSO (Single Sign-On) portal, using the same login credentials linked to their SET application. Rajasthan SET 2026: Exam Centers Across Rajasthan's Divisions The University of Kota conducts the SET examination across notified centers spread throughout Rajasthan's administrative divisions, allowing candidates from across the state to appear without excessive travel. Division Representative District Centers (Illustrative) Jaipur Division Jaipur, Dausa, Alwar, Sikar Jodhpur Division Jodhpur, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Pali Kota Division Kota, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar Bikaner Division Bikaner, Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Churu Ajmer Division Ajmer, Bhilwara, Nagaur, Tonk Udaipur Division Udaipur, Chittorgarh, Rajsamand, Dungarpur Bharatpur Division Bharatpur, Dholpur, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur Pali Division Pali, Sirohi and surrounding areas Your exact center is finalized only on your individual admit card. The University allocates centers based on your application preferences and seat availability at the time of registration — this table is meant to show the general spread across divisions, not to indicate which center you specifically have been assigned. Always confirm your allotted center name, address, and city from your own downloaded hall ticket. Mandatory Document Checklist for Exam Day Carry these without exception — University of Kota exam centers strictly deny entry for missing documentation, even minutes before the gate closes: Printed copy of the Rajasthan SET Admit Card 2026 (clear, color printout preferred) One valid original photo ID — Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, Driving Licence, or Passport The same photo ID type/number used during online application, to avoid last-minute mismatch issues Two passport-size photographs, matching the one uploaded during registration A simple transparent/see-through pouch for carrying admit card and ID, since exam centers typically don't allow bags inside the hall Blue or black ballpoint pen for OMR sheet marking (centers may or may not provide one — don't rely on this) Not allowed inside the exam hall: mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, bags, books, or any electronic device. Leave these with someone outside or in your vehicle, since most centers don't offer a secure storage facility.

The High Court of Madhya Pradesh in Jabalpur is now accepting online applications for 1,174 Assistant Grade-III positions in the District and Sessions Court offices throughout the state. This recruitment initiative, which is advertised as No. 614/Exam/2026 and was issued on 14 August 2026, is one of the largest judicial clerical recruitment campaigns in Madhya Pradesh this year, the application period ending on 15 September 2026. This guide contains precisely the information that you need if you are a graduate with a CPCT scorecard or a computer diploma: it covers the eligibility rules, the CPCT/DCA exemption which most candidates get wrong, the two-stage structure of the exam, and the full MPOnline application procedure. Before proceeding any further, it should be stated that the notification in question applies exclusively to the Assistant Grade-III positions. It is incorrect to refer to this recruitment as involving stenographer vacancies; for the purpose of this particular advertisement, the MP High Court's stenographer recruitment is a separate notification with its own eligibility criteria and typing-speed requirements and is not included in these 1,174 posts. .mphc-table-wrap{overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;margin:16px 0;max-width:100%;} .mphc-table{width:100%;min-width:520px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;} .mphc-table th,.mphc-table td{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;} .mphc-table th{background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:480px){.mphc-table{font-size:13px;}.mphc-table th,.mphc-table td{padding:6px 8px;}} MP High Court Assistant Grade 3 Recruitment 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Recruiting Body High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur Recruiting For District & Sessions Court establishments across Madhya Pradesh Advertisement Number 614/Exam/2026 Notification Date 14 August 2026 Post Name Assistant Grade-III (सहायक ग्रेड-III) Total Vacancies 1,174 Governing Rules MP District Court Establishment (Recruitment & Conditions of Service) Rules, 2016 Mode of Application Online only, through mponline.gov.in Application Start Date 17 August 2026, 12:00 PM Last Date to Apply 15 September 2026, 5:00 PM Pay Level Level-4 (7th CPC) Pay Matrix Range ₹19,500 – ₹62,000 Official Websites mphc.gov.in and mponline.gov.in The Real Differentiator: CPCT and DCA Aren't Both Always Required It is the one eligibility rule in this recruitment that is most commonly misinterpreted, and if you misjudge it you might end up applying for a post for which you are not actually qualified — or even worse, conclude that you are not eligible when in fact you are. The basic requirement is a degree in any subject from a recognized university, together with a valid CPCT (Computer Proficiency Certification Test) scorecard obtained from MAP-IT or another agency recognized by the MP government, or alternatively a one-year Diploma in Computer Applications (DCA) from an institution that is recognized by the UGC/DOEACC/NIELIT/Government Polytechnic/Government ITI (COPA). The point that most candidates overlook is that if you have a BE, MCA, BCA, B.Sc-IT, M.Sc-IT, or M.Tech degree, you are exempt from the one-year separate computer diploma requirement since your degree meets the computer qualification criterion. This exemption has been provided specifically for people who already possess a formal degree related to computer science, so they are not obliged to obtain an extra DCA certificate merely to fulfill a procedural requirement. However, a CPCT scorecard is still generally necessary, even with this exemption — make sure to read the exact clause in the official notification before concluding that you are fully exempt from all computer-related requirements. Post-wise Vacancy & Category Breakdown Post Total Vacancies Pay Level Minimum Qualification Assistant Grade-III 1,174 Level-4 (₹19,500 – ₹62,000) Graduation + CPCT Scorecard or 1-Year DCA Regarding the breakdown of reservations by category: the official notification provides, for each district cadre, the detailed reservation figures by category (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS) and by group (Women/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen). As the figures are specific to each cadre and are given in detail for a number of districts, candidates should download the full official notification PDF from mphc.gov.in in order to see the exact number of vacancies that applies to their category and the district they have preferred. Eligibility Criteria Educational & Technical Qualification Graduation from any discipline by means of a degree awarded by a recognized university. A valid CPCT scorecard from MAP-IT (the Madhya Pradesh Agency for Promotion of Information Technology) or any other agency recognised by the Madhya Pradesh government. Or a one-year Diploma in Computer Applications (DCA) from an institution recognised by the Government of Madhya Pradesh. Candidates who possess a BE, MCA, BCA, B.Sc-IT, M.Sc-IT, or M.Tech degree are exempted from the requirement of the separate DCA diploma. Age Limit Minimum Age: 18 years Maximum Age: 40 years, applicable to both Madhya Pradesh domicile and other-state candidates Reserved category and women candidates from Madhya Pradesh get age relaxation as per state government norms Reservation and age-relaxation benefits apply only to original residents of Madhya Pradesh; candidates from other states must apply strictly under the Unreserved category Other Eligibility Conditions One must be an Indian citizen. People who have more than one spouse still alive are not eligible. According to the MP Civil Service (General Conditions of Service) Rules of 1961, people who have more than two children — in the case where one of the children was born on or after 26 January 2001 — are not eligible. CPCT & DCA Exemption Guidelines at a Glance Candidate's Background Is CPCT Scorecard Required? Is a Separate DCA Diploma Required? Graduate with no computer-specific degree Yes Yes, unless CPCT scorecard already held Graduate with BCA, B.Sc-IT, or M.Sc-IT Generally yes Exempted BE or B.Tech in Computer Science or IT Generally yes Exempted MCA / M.Tech graduate Generally yes Exempted The fact that the exemption only relates to the requirement regarding the computer diploma and does not automatically extend to the CPCT scorecard condition in all cases means that candidates coming from exempted backgrounds should still check the exact wording in the official notification PDF, as eligibility clauses of this kind are strictly interpreted when documents are verified. Two-Stage Examination Scheme The process for selecting candidates for the Assistant Grade-III position consists of two stages, and it is more important than most people realize to understand which of these stages actually determines your rank. Stage 1: Online Preliminary Examination (100 Marks) Section Number of Questions Maximum Marks Medium General Knowledge & Science (including MP GK) 20 20 Bilingual (Hindi & English) Mathematics & Logical Reasoning 20 20 Bilingual (Hindi & English) General Hindi 20 20 Hindi Medium Only English Knowledge 20 20 English Medium Only Computer Knowledge 20 20 English Medium Only Total 100 100 120 Minutes The Preliminary Examination serves solely as a qualifying or screening stage and the marks you obtain in it are not carried forward to the final merit list; the minimum qualifying marks are usually given as 45% for UR/OBC candidates and 40% for SC/ST candidates, and candidates are shortlisted for Stage 2 according to their merit and in accordance with the prescribed shortlisting ratio. Stage 2: Hindi Typing Skill Test (50 Marks) — This Is What Actually Decides Your Rank This stage is one that most candidates fail to appreciate. The Preliminary Exam being purely a qualifying exercise, your final merit ranking is almost entirely based on your performance in this Hindi Typing Skill Test. Parameter Details Test Type Practical Hindi typing test Software/Layout Remington Gail keyboard layout Passage Length Approximately 350 words Time Allotted 10 minutes Total Marks 50 Minimum Qualifying Marks Approximately 50% Nature Qualifying and merit-deciding — this score forms your final rank Now, if you've mostly devoted your preparation time to General Knowledge and Reasoning for the Preliminary stage, it's time to make adjustments. The Preliminary Exam not being taken into account in your final selection means that your real advantage lies in speed and accuracy when doing the Remington Gail Hindi typing — here, consistent and disciplined daily practice brings far greater benefits than further revision of General Knowledge. Stage 3: Document Verification The candidates who have been shortlisted have their original certificates checked, including those for graduation, the CPCT scorecard or DCA diploma, category certificates, and identity documents. Application Fee Category Exam Fee Portal & Service Charges Total Payable Candidates from outside Madhya Pradesh / MP General/EWS ₹200 ₹743.40 ₹943.40 MP OBC / SC / ST / EWS Candidates (MP Domicile) ₹0 ₹743.40 ₹743.40 All PwBD (Divyang) Candidates ₹0 ₹743.40 ₹743.40 The fees have to be paid online using a Credit Card, a Debit Card, Net Banking, or one of the other methods available on the MPOnline portal.

Bank of Baroda SO Recruitment 2026: Apply 1,100 Posts
Last Updated: 07 September 2026 Bank of Baroda SO Recruitment 2026: Apply Online for 1,100 Wealth Executive & Credit Analyst Posts at bankofbaroda.in, Check Salary, Eligibility & Interview Pattern The Bank of Baroda has launched one of its biggest Specialist Officer recruitment drives this year, accepting applications for 1,100 regular positions — specifically, 1,000 Wealth Executives and 100 Credit Analysts (in the areas of Corporate & Institutional Credit). The notice was published on 4 September 2026 under advertisement number BOB/HRM/REC/ADVT/2026/17 and the closing date for applications is 24 September 2026. For an experienced professional in wealth management or a Chartered Accountant who has worked in the banking sector, this represents a real opportunity to secure a permanent officer position with one of India's largest public sector banks. The following is a full explanation—covering the vacancies, the pay scale, the eligibility criteria, and precisely how the selection process works. .bob-table-wrap{overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;margin:16px 0;max-width:100%;} .bob-table{width:100%;min-width:520px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;} .bob-table th,.bob-table td{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;word-break:break-word;} .bob-table th{background:#f5f5f5;font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:480px){.bob-table{font-size:13px;}.bob-table th,.bob-table td{padding:6px 8px;}} Bank of Baroda SO Recruitment 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Recruiting Organisation Bank of Baroda (BOB), Corporate Centre, Mumbai Advertisement Number BOB/HRM/REC/ADVT/2026/17 Posts Wealth Executive, Credit Analyst – C&IC Total Vacancies 1,100 Notification Release Date 4 September 2026 Application Start Date 4 September 2026 Last Date to Apply 24 September 2026, 11:59 PM Nature of Appointment Regular (Permanent) Age Reckoning Date 1 September 2026 Official Website bankofbaroda.in The Key Differentiator: Two Posts, Two Very Different Candidate Profiles This recruitment is not a standard exercise in appointing officers—it has been designed with two particular professional backgrounds in mind. There are 1,000 positions for Wealth Executives, aimed at people who are already engaged in the sale of wealth products, regardless of whether they work in banks, broking firms, or asset management companies. Separate-wise, there are 100 posts for Credit Analysts, which are set aside exclusively for Chartered Accountants who have at least one year's experience in corporate credit within the banking sector. It isn't intended for absolute beginners. Wealth Executive does require a minimum of two years' relevant sales experience together with a mandatory IC 38 or NISM certification, whereas Credit Analyst demands the CA qualification plus one year's banking experience. If you have come across this recruitment being described online as being open 'to freshers', be careful about it — the required experience and certification eliminate anyone who does not have previous experience in the industry. Regarding fees, women candidates, together with SC/ST and PwBD applicants, have to pay an application fee of ₹175 which is subsidised, as against ₹850 for General/EWS/OBC candidates. The process of selection places great emphasis on the shortlisting and the interview stage—only an online test is administered if the Bank receives an unmanageably large number of applications, and even in such a case the interview is still the factor that determines final merit. Post-wise Vacancy Breakdown Post Grade/Scale Total Vacancies UR OBC SC ST EWS PwBD Wealth Executive JMG/S-I 1,000 405 270 150 75 100 40 Credit Analyst – C&IC MMG/S-II 100 40 27 15 8 10 4 Total — 1,100 445 297 165 83 110 44 Eligibility Criteria Wealth Executive (JMG/S-I) Parameter Requirement Educational Qualification Graduation in any discipline from a recognized university Mandatory Certification Any one of: IC 38 (Insurance Institute of India), NISM Series V-A (Mutual Fund Distributors), NISM Series XXI-A (PMS Distributors), or NISM Series V-D (Mutual Fund Specialised Investment Fund Distributors) Preferred Qualification 2-year full-time PG Degree/Diploma in Management or MBA (Finance/Marketing/Banking) Experience Minimum 2 years in sales of wealth products, with public/private/foreign banks, broking firms, securities firms, or asset/wealth management companies Age Limit 22 to 32 years (as on 1 September 2026) Credit Analyst – C&IC (MMG/S-II) Parameter Requirement Educational Qualification Graduation in any discipline Mandatory Professional Qualification Chartered Accountant (CA) Experience Minimum 1 year of banking experience in a Scheduled Commercial Bank; experience in Corporate Credit preferred Age Limit 21 to 33 years (as on 1 September 2026) Age Relaxation (Upper Age Limit) Category Relaxation SC / ST 5 years OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) 3 years PwBD – General/EWS 10 years PwBD – OBC 13 years PwBD – SC/ST 15 years Ex-Servicemen – General/EWS 5 years Ex-Servicemen – OBC 8 years Ex-Servicemen – SC/ST 10 years CTC, Pay Scale & Allowances Post Grade Pay Scale Structure Starting Basic Pay Approximate Gross Monthly Salary Wealth Executive JMG/S-I 48,480–2,000/7–62,480–2,340/2–67,160–2,680/7–85,920 48,480 About ₹65,000 to ₹72,000 (at joining) Credit Analyst – C&IC MMG/S-II ₹64,820–2,340 per 1 year/₹67,160–2,680 per 10 years/₹93,960 ₹64,820 approximately ₹85,000 to ₹93,000 (at joining) Here's a clear explanation regarding the ₹85,000 figure: For a Wealth Executive, ₹85,920 is the highest point on the pay scale that is achieved only after a number of salary increments over a number of years, not the initial take-home pay. The gross salary you will receive when you join will be based on the starting basic pay of ₹48,480, together with the Dearness Allowance, the House Rent Allowance, and other benefits specific to the bank. In cases where you have come across the figure of '₹85,000 salary' in relation to this recruitment, it more precisely refers to the upper end of what a Credit Analyst earns from the very beginning, or what a Wealth Executive attains only after a number of years of gradual salary increases — not the starting salary package of a Wealth Executive. Therefore, it is advisable to refer to the detailed pay structure in the official notification before setting your salary expectations. The selected candidates also go through a probationary period of 12 months and are subject to a three-year service agreement (or they must pay an amount equal to three months' gross salary, with a cap, if they leave early). Step-by-Step BOB Portal Application Guide Go to the official Bank of Baroda website, at bankofbaroda.in, and click on the 'Careers' section. Find the notice called "Recruitment of Wealth Executive and Credit Analyst-C&IC on Regular Basis" in advertisement number BOB/HRM/REC/ADVT/2026/17. Before carrying on, please download and read the complete official notification in PDF format. Click on the "Apply Online" link and sign up using a valid email address and mobile number. Log in and complete the application form by entering your personal details, educational background, certification information, and experience. You need to upload the necessary documents, which should include a recent passport-sized photograph, a scanned signature, and evidence of your required certification (IC 38/NISM) or CA qualification, as applicable to the position you have chosen. It is important to enter your experience details carefully, since both postings have mandatory minimum experience requirements which will be verified later. You can pay the relevant application fee online using a Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking, or UPI. It is advisable to look over the entire form on the Preview page before you carry out the final submission since corrections are usually not allowed after submission has taken place. Fill in the application and save or print the confirmation page together with your registration number for future reference. Selection Process The applications are checked to ensure that they meet the eligibility, qualification, and experience requirements. Online Test (in the case it is held) – It is only carried out when the Bank receives a very large number of applications for a particular post. The proposed format includes English Language, Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude, General/Economic & Banking Awareness (20 marks for each of these, and these sections are qualifying in character), together with a Professional Knowledge section (60 marks) which by itself determines merit if this stage is initiated, there being a negative mark of 0.25 for each incorrect answer. Psychometric Test (if applicable). Group Discussion and/or Personal Interview — This is usually the most important stage and in many cases the only one that decides anything for most of the candidates in this recruitment cycle, and it may be carried out over several rounds. The verification of documents and the medical examination—these are carried out with regard to candidates who have been provisionally selected before they are finally appointed. In order to pass the interview round, candidates must obtain at least 60 per cent marks if they are in the General or EWS category and 55 per cent if they are in any of the other reserved categories. Those who fail to meet this threshold are not taken into account for final selection even if they have performed well in the previous stages.

HPSC PGT Computer Science Final Result 2026 Out
Last updated: September 2026 The final result for the HPSC PGT Computer Science exam 2026 has been announced: you can download the merit list of the selected candidates in PDF form and check the cut-off at hpsc.gov.in. The preparation took several months, involved a Subject Knowledge Test which lasted three hours, and also included an interview process that took place over a number of sessions in July — all of this has now led to the release of one PDF. The Haryana Public Service Commission has announced the HPSC PGT Computer Science Final Result 2026, indicating the candidates who have been recommended for permanent appointment as Post Graduate Teachers in the Rest of Haryana (ROH) and Mewat areas. If you applied for this post through Advertisement No. 23/2026, the result that is relevant to you is the one I am now giving you—not the previous list from the Subject Knowledge Test, which had only informed you that you would go to interview. This is your final selection status. The following points have so far been confirmed: how to find out your roll number, the way in which the 87.5:12.5 scoring was calculated, what document verification entails, and what takes place between this point and the time when you receive your joining letter. HPSC PGT Computer Science Final Result 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Conducting Body Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC), Panchkula Post Name Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) – Computer Science Advertisement Number 23/2026 Department Secondary Education Department, Haryana Total Advertised Vacancies 1,672 (ROH Cadre: 1,594 + Mewat Cadre: 78) Subject Knowledge Test Date 17 May 2026 SKT Result Declared 4 July 2026 Interview / Viva-Voce Conducted 24 July – 1 August 2026 Interview Marks Released 1 August 2026 Final Result (Result-I) Declared 12 August 2026 Final Result-II (Additional List) Declared 21 August 2026 Official Website hpsc.gov.in The Real Story Behind This Result: Merit, Not Just Marks The differences between this latest result and the earlier SKT list that you might have looked at back in July are as follows: the previous result had only stated that you had passed the written Subject Knowledge Test and had therefore progressed to the interview stage; it gave no information regarding your actual rank or your chances of being selected. This result is the one that matters since it combines both stages into a single weighted score and clearly tells you whether or not you have been recommended for appointment. The final merit is made up of 87.5% from the Subject Knowledge Test and 12.5% from the interview or viva voce. The Subject Knowledge Test was worth 150 marks and candidates had to score at least 35% to be eligible for an interview. Approximately twice as many candidates were shortlisted for interview as there were advertised posts—this meant that a large number of those who had passed the SKT were still having to compete fiercely for the small number of final positions. The way the marks are weighted has an effect on the way you should assess your own performance. It is impossible for a strong interview to make up for a weak score in the Subject Knowledge Test, as the written exam accounts for the majority of your total marks. If you are dissatisfied with your final rank even though you had a good interview, then this marking system is very likely the reason. The official notice also states that the HPSC has decided to leave 4 posts (3 general and 1 BC-A) vacant due to ongoing court cases, and has withheld the results of 456 candidates until it receives clarifications from the Government/Department. If your roll number is not found in either the Result-I or Result-II list, you should consider checking the withheld category before concluding that you have not been selected — HPSC usually issues a separate notice to clarify the cases that have been withheld. Selection Statistics — Cadre-wise Breakdown Cadre General SC BC-A BC-B EWS Total Advertised Rest of Haryana (ROH) 859 327 163 82 163 1,594 Mewat 43 15 08 04 08 78 Grand Total 1,672 Regarding the final selection figures: Although several online reports mention 622 candidates as having been finally recommended for appointment out of the 1,672 posts that were advertised, the HPSC's official result notices state that 456 candidates were excluded and 4 posts remain vacant because of ongoing litigation; however, the consolidated "total recommended" figure is not given in any of the PDFs published by the Commission that were available at the time of writing. Therefore, candidates should regard any specific number of selected candidates, such as 622, as provisional until it has been verified directly against the roll-number list in the official Result-I and Result-II PDFs on hpsc.gov.in. 87.5:12.5 Scoring Breakdown Component Total Marks Weightage in Final Merit Minimum Qualifying Requirement Subject Knowledge Test (SKT) 150 87.5% 35% required to be eligible for interview Interview / Viva-Voce In accordance with the notification 12.5% No separate published minimum; combined with SKT for final merit Final Selection — 100% Based on combined weighted score The Subject Knowledge Test lasted for 180 minutes, took place in English and examined the essential aspects of Computer Science at the post-graduate teaching level. Since it accounts for almost nine-tenths of your total score, those preparing for future HPSC PGT cycles in other subjects should take note of this feature – it is a feature that is found throughout HPSC's PGT recruitment system, not something specific to Computer Science. How to Check the HPSC PGT Computer Science Final Result 2026 Go to the official website at hpsc.gov.in. Go to the "What's New" or "Results" section from the homepage. Find the notice labelled "Final Result for the post of Post Graduate Teacher (Computer Science), Rest of Haryana Cadre & Mewat Cadre, Advt. No. 23/2026", which is dated 12 August 2026, and also the subsequent Result-II notice from 21 August 2026. Click on the PDF to open it — you don't need to log in or register since this is a public list of roll numbers. The recommended roll numbers are given in ascending order, separately for the ROH Cadre and the Mewat Cadre. To search for your roll number directly within the document use Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on a Mac). When your roll number is displayed, save the page and print it as proof for your own records. Document Verification Checklist The recommendation given in this result is for now and will have to be verified by the Secondary Education Department, Haryana with regard to your qualifications and category status. In accordance with the verification requirements stated in the official notice, make sure that you have the following items ready: ☐ Your original Post-Graduate degree certificate and photocopies of it (an M.Sc. in Computer Science, an MCA, or a B.E./B.Tech in CS/IT as applicable) ☐ HTET or STET qualifying certificate ☐ Proof of Hindi or Sanskrit as a subject studied at Matriculation or higher level ☐ Caste/category certificate, where applicable (SC/BC-A/BC-B/EWS) ☐ Valid original photo identity proof ☐ HPSC admit card and SKT/Interview call letters ☐ Recent passport-size photographs ☐ Any other document specifically listed in your individual call letter for document verification Regarding the verification site: Although some sources link this stage to Shiksha Sadan in Panchkula—since that is the known administrative office of the Haryana Education Department and has in the past been used as a venue for document verification in various previous HPSC teacher recruitment rounds—the exact venue, date, and reporting time for your individual document verification will be informed to you separately by the Secondary Education Department of Haryana; you should always verify this directly in your official call letter or in an official notice from the department itself, not by referring to any third-party article, including this one. What Happens After This Result The dossiers of the candidates who have been recommended are sent on to the Secondary Education Department in Haryana for further processing. To verify documents, the department checks the candidates' educational qualifications, category certificates, and eligibility conditions. When verification has been completed, the candidates then attend counselling and are allocated a station, the school postings in Haryana being assigned according to your merit rank and cadre. A medical examination is generally necessary before final joining, in accordance with the standard procedure for teaching appointments by the Haryana government. After all the verification and medical formalities have been completed, the appointment letters are sent. Keep a watch on both hpsc.gov.in and the official communication channels of the Secondary Education Department during this time since the allocation of posts and the joining instructions are issued by the department, not by the HPSC itself.

IOCL Recruitment 2026: Apply for Grade A Engineer Posts
Last updated: September 2026 For the IOCL Recruitment 2026: Apply online for the positions of Executive Engineer and for experienced professionals at iocl.com; check the Grade A salary, the eligibility requirements and the experience criteria. In September 2026 the Indian Oil Corporation Limited will be conducting two distinct recruitment exercises, and the simplest way to apply for the wrong position is to confuse the two – or to completely miss a deadline. One of these is an Executive recruitment drive aimed at freshers and includes more than 400 posts. The other is a small recruitment exercise at a senior level for experienced plant professionals who are to join IOCL's new Poly Butadiene Rubber facility. The guide clearly distinguishes between the two and gives the exact salary, eligibility, and experience requirements as stated in IOCL's own advertisements. If you are an engineering graduate who hopes to begin your executive career at a Maharatna PSU, or if you are an experienced production professional aiming for a senior plant leadership position, you will find the path suitable for your particular situation below. IOCL Recruitment 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Executive Recruitment (RECTT/2026/01) Experienced Professionals (RECTT/2026/02) Organisation Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Advertisement Date 14 August 2026 3 September 2026 Posts Graduate Engineer, Officer (Marketing), Law Officer, Assistant Quality Control Officer, Diploma Engineer Production Manager, Senior Production Manager, Senior Manager (PBR-Marketing) Total Vacancies 470 3 Grades Grade A, Grade A0, Grade E0 Grade C, Grade D Experience Needed Not required for Engineer/Diploma posts; 2 years for Law Officer and AQCO 10 to 14 years, post-qualification Application Window 14 August – 3 September 2026 3 September – 16/17 September 2026 Official Website iocl.com The Key Differentiator: Two Very Different Hiring Tracks Do not think that these two are the same recruitment process using different names. RECTT/2026/01 refers to IOCL's normal annual Executive intake—an permanent and pensionable career entry route for new engineering graduates and young professionals—and this is mostly filled via IOCL's own Computer-Based Test with no requirement for a GATE score. RECTT/2026/02, on the other hand, is a specific lateral hiring initiative for exactly three senior positions linked to IOCL's new PBR plant in Panipat—there is no CBT in this case; selection is based entirely on documented industry experience and an interview. For a new graduate or one who has less than two years' experience, RECTT/01 is the only option available. However, if you are a seasoned professional in chemical engineering or the polymer industry with ten years or more of experience in running plant operations, then RECTT/02 is worth considering — although it should be noted that it has only three places available nationwide, so you should view it as a long shot among your other applications, not as your main choice. Discipline-wise Qualification Breakdown — Executive Recruitment (RECTT/2026/01) Post Grade Vacancies Eligible Disciplines Minimum Marks Experience Required Graduate Engineer A 411 Chemical, Civil, Computer Science/IT, Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Instrumentation, Mechanical 65% (Gen/EWS/OBC-NCL), 55% (SC/ST/PwBD) Not required Officer (Marketing) A Included in 411 Full-time MBA/PGDBA with Marketing specialization 60% Not required Law Officer A Included in 411 Graduation + LLB, or 5-year Integrated LLB, recognized by Bar Council of India 60% (Gen/EWS/OBC-NCL), 55% (SC/ST/PwBD) Minimum 2 years post-qualification legal practice Assistant Quality Control Officer A0 9 M.Sc. in Chemistry As stated in the notification Minimum 2 years' experience in lab testing (petroleum, petrochemicals, polymers, fertilisers, or NABL-accredited lab) Diploma Engineer E0 50 3-year Engineering Diploma in relevant discipline As per notification Not required Regarding the date of the experience cut-off: in the case of posts which have a requirement for prior experience—such as Law Officer and Assistant Quality Control Officer—the required amount of experience is based on 30 June 2026. Experience gained through internships, teaching duties, and short-term training does not count towards this requirement. When assessing your own eligibility for any post that is based on experience, apply the same rule: only confirmed work experience carried out after qualification should be taken into account, not that obtained through apprenticeships or training periods. Executive Pay Scale & CTC Breakdown (RECTT/2026/01) Grade Initial Basic Pay (Monthly) Pay Scale Approximate Annual CTC Graduate Engineer / Officer-Marketing / Law Officer – Grade A ₹50,000 ₹50,000 to ₹1,60,000 ₹18.4 Lakh Assistant Quality Control Officer (Grade A0) ₹40,000 ₹40,000 – ₹1,40,000 ₹14.8 Lakh Diploma Engineer (Grade E0) ₹30,000 ₹30,000 to ₹1,20,000 ₹11.1 Lakh The amount represented by the CTC consists of the basic salary together with the Dearness Allowance, the House Rent Allowance, and other benefits typical of Maharatna-level executives such as medical benefits, the leave travel concession, the provident fund, and the performance-linked pay which apply to IOCL executives. This is a permanent appointment within the executive cadre and not a contractual, fixed-term, or apprentice one – the candidates who are selected join the regular IOCL workforce and are entitled to all the benefits of employment from the very first day. Experienced Professionals Recruitment Details (RECTT/2026/02) Post Grade Vacancies Pay Scale Approx. Annual CTC Minimum Experience Production Manager C 1 ₹80,000 – ₹2,20,000 ~₹30 Lakh 10 years post-qualification, including 5 years in PBR/synthetic rubber production Senior Production Manager D 1 ₹90,000 – ₹2,40,000 ~₹35 Lakh 14 years post-qualification, including 7 years in senior plant production roles Senior Manager (PBR-Marketing) D 1 ₹90,000 – ₹2,40,000 ~₹35 Lakh 14 years post-qualification in polymer/synthetic rubber marketing or business development The posts are for IOCL's forthcoming Poly Butadiene Rubber (PBR) plant and for the PBR Business Marketing Group based in Panipat; eligibility is restricted to Indian nationals and all three positions are Unreserved. For the roles of Production Manager and Senior Production Manager, a full-time B.E./B.Tech in Chemical Engineering is required together with a minimum of 60% marks, while the Senior Manager (PBR-Marketing) position requires either an engineering degree or a Science graduate degree along with a full-time MBA or PGDM, in each case obtaining at least 60% marks.

IOCL Recruitment 2026: Apply for Grade A Engineer Posts
Last updated: September 2026 For the IOCL Recruitment 2026: Apply online for the positions of Executive Engineer and for experienced professionals at iocl.com; check the Grade A salary, the eligibility requirements and the experience criteria. In September 2026 the Indian Oil Corporation Limited will be conducting two distinct recruitment exercises, and the simplest way to apply for the wrong position is to confuse the two – or to completely miss a deadline. One of these is an Executive recruitment drive aimed at freshers and includes more than 400 posts. The other is a small recruitment exercise at a senior level for experienced plant professionals who are to join IOCL's new Poly Butadiene Rubber facility. The guide clearly distinguishes between the two and gives the exact salary, eligibility, and experience requirements as stated in IOCL's own advertisements. If you are an engineering graduate who hopes to begin your executive career at a Maharatna PSU, or if you are an experienced production professional aiming for a senior plant leadership position, you will find the path suitable for your particular situation below. IOCL Recruitment 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Executive Recruitment (RECTT/2026/01) Experienced Professionals (RECTT/2026/02) Organisation Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Advertisement Date 14 August 2026 3 September 2026 Posts Graduate Engineer, Officer (Marketing), Law Officer, Assistant Quality Control Officer, Diploma Engineer Production Manager, Senior Production Manager, Senior Manager (PBR-Marketing) Total Vacancies 470 3 Grades Grade A, Grade A0, Grade E0 Grade C, Grade D Experience Needed Not required for Engineer/Diploma posts; 2 years for Law Officer and AQCO 10 to 14 years, post-qualification Application Window 14 August – 3 September 2026 3 September – 16/17 September 2026 Official Website iocl.com The Key Differentiator: Two Very Different Hiring Tracks Do not think that these two are the same recruitment process using different names. RECTT/2026/01 refers to IOCL's normal annual Executive intake—an permanent and pensionable career entry route for new engineering graduates and young professionals—and this is mostly filled via IOCL's own Computer-Based Test with no requirement for a GATE score. RECTT/2026/02, on the other hand, is a specific lateral hiring initiative for exactly three senior positions linked to IOCL's new PBR plant in Panipat—there is no CBT in this case; selection is based entirely on documented industry experience and an interview. For a new graduate or one who has less than two years' experience, RECTT/01 is the only option available. However, if you are a seasoned professional in chemical engineering or the polymer industry with ten years or more of experience in running plant operations, then RECTT/02 is worth considering — although it should be noted that it has only three places available nationwide, so you should view it as a long shot among your other applications, not as your main choice. Discipline-wise Qualification Breakdown — Executive Recruitment (RECTT/2026/01) Post Grade Vacancies Eligible Disciplines Minimum Marks Experience Required Graduate Engineer A 411 Chemical, Civil, Computer Science/IT, Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Instrumentation, Mechanical 65% (Gen/EWS/OBC-NCL), 55% (SC/ST/PwBD) Not required Officer (Marketing) A Included in 411 Full-time MBA/PGDBA with Marketing specialization 60% Not required Law Officer A Included in 411 Graduation + LLB, or 5-year Integrated LLB, recognized by Bar Council of India 60% (Gen/EWS/OBC-NCL), 55% (SC/ST/PwBD) Minimum 2 years post-qualification legal practice Assistant Quality Control Officer A0 9 M.Sc. in Chemistry As stated in the notification Minimum 2 years' experience in lab testing (petroleum, petrochemicals, polymers, fertilisers, or NABL-accredited lab) Diploma Engineer E0 50 3-year Engineering Diploma in relevant discipline As per notification Not required Regarding the date of the experience cut-off: in the case of posts which have a requirement for prior experience—such as Law Officer and Assistant Quality Control Officer—the required amount of experience is based on 30 June 2026. Experience gained through internships, teaching duties, and short-term training does not count towards this requirement. When assessing your own eligibility for any post that is based on experience, apply the same rule: only confirmed work experience carried out after qualification should be taken into account, not that obtained through apprenticeships or training periods. Executive Pay Scale & CTC Breakdown (RECTT/2026/01) Grade Initial Basic Pay (Monthly) Pay Scale Approximate Annual CTC Graduate Engineer / Officer-Marketing / Law Officer – Grade A ₹50,000 ₹50,000 to ₹1,60,000 ₹18.4 Lakh Assistant Quality Control Officer (Grade A0) ₹40,000 ₹40,000 – ₹1,40,000 ₹14.8 Lakh Diploma Engineer (Grade E0) ₹30,000 ₹30,000 to ₹1,20,000 ₹11.1 Lakh The amount represented by the CTC consists of the basic salary together with the Dearness Allowance, the House Rent Allowance, and other benefits typical of Maharatna-level executives such as medical benefits, the leave travel concession, the provident fund, and the performance-linked pay which apply to IOCL executives. This is a permanent appointment within the executive cadre and not a contractual, fixed-term, or apprentice one – the candidates who are selected join the regular IOCL workforce and are entitled to all the benefits of employment from the very first day. Experienced Professionals Recruitment Details (RECTT/2026/02) Post Grade Vacancies Pay Scale Approx.

For the roles of Production Manager and Senior Production Manager, a full-time B.E./B.Tech in Chemical Engineering is required together with a minimum of 60% marks, while the Senior Manager (PBR-Marketing) position requires either an engineering degree or a Science graduate degree along with a full-time MBA or PGDM, in each case obtaining at least 60% marks.

AIIMS NORCET 11 Admit Card 2026 Out: Download Hall Ticket
Last updated: 9 September 2026 The AIIMS NORCET 11 admit card for 2026 has been issued: download your Stage 1 Nursing Officer hall ticket and check the CBT exam times on 12 September at aiimsexams.ac.in For those who have signed up for NORCET 11, the following four days are more important than the four months of preparation that came before. The AIIMS NORCET 11 Admit Card 2026 was made available on 9 September 2026 and the Stage 1 CBT will take place on 12 September 2026 at various exam centres in India. The one hall ticket you receive includes information about your exam centre, your reporting shift, and most important of all the login details that you'll need before AIIMS closes the portal on the day of the exam. This year the exam is being conducted using a strict sectional timer, and that single decision affects the way in which you should tackle the paper as compared to the nursing exams you took previously. The following points have so far been confirmed — the steps for downloading the exam, the rules to observe on the day of the exam, the structure of the sectional timing, and the actual cost to you of getting a question wrong. AIIMS NORCET 11 Admit Card 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Conducting Body All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi Exam Name Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET) – 11 Advertisement Number 103/2026 Post Name Nursing Officer Total Vacancies 2,218 Exam City Intimation Slip 3 September 2026 Admit Card Release Date 9 September 2026 Stage 1 (Preliminary) Exam Date 12 September 2026 Stage 2 (Mains) Exam Date 30 September 2026 Exam Mode Online, Computer-Based Test (CBT) Official Website aiimsexams.ac.in The Rule Every Candidate Needs to Read Before 12 September The differences between this year's NORCET and a normal MCQ exam are as follows, and they might be overlooked if you quickly go through the admit card instructions. The Stage 1 paper, which lasts 90 minutes, is divided into five sections with 20 questions in each section and each section is given exactly 18 minutes. When the 18-minute time limit for a section ends, that section automatically submits itself and you cannot go back; it is not possible to finish a question that has not been answered in Section 2 while you are in Section 3. The questions that have been answered when the timer reaches zero are the ones that count, all the others are recorded as unattempted. Your approach to the exam has to be entirely different. In a standard 90-minute paper you would normally deal with your slower topics towards the end. In this case, however, if General Knowledge and Aptitude questions appear in an early section and you spend too long second-guessing a single question, you will lose all the other questions in that section forever, with no possibility of coming back to them later in the exam. If a one-third negative marking penalty is applied for each incorrect answer, guessing quickly becomes a costly option. In fact, three wrong guesses result in the loss of a full mark—a amount big enough to cause a noticeable change in your rank in an examination in which thousands of candidates are competing for a limited number of qualifying positions. How to Download AIIMS NORCET 11 Admit Card 2026 Visit the official AIIMS examinations website at aiimsexams.ac.in. On the homepage, check the section headed 'Important Announcements' for the notice stating: 'Admit Card for Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET-11)'. By clicking on the link, you will be directed to the NORCET-11 Admit Card Download page. Input your Candidate ID (or registration number) and password together with the captcha code which is shown. Click Login/Submit. The admit card will appear on the screen. Before downloading it, check all the details — your name, photograph, roll number, the exam date, the reporting time, and the centre address. Get the PDF and make sure you have at least two clear printed copies. Admit cards will not be posted; AIIMS will send only an SMS and email notification when the card is live – you will have to download the actual document from the portal yourself. If You Can't Log In On the same login page, select the 'Forgot Candidate ID/Password' option. Recovery of access will require the mobile number or email address associated with your registration. It's not a good idea to wait until the evening before the exam to deal with this — the helpline and the portal become very busy in the 24 hours leading up to a CBT of this scale. What's Printed on Your Admit Card ✔ Candidate's name and photograph ✔ Candidate ID / registration number and roll number ✔ Date of birth and category (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PwBD) ✔ Exam date, shift, and reporting time ⚠ Entry closing time — after this, you will not be let in, regardless of your scheduled exam time ✔ Exam center name, address, and code ✔ Exam-day conduct instructions Documents to Carry to the Exam Center ☐ A printed copy of the AIIMS NORCET 11 admit card (color printout preferred) ☐ One valid original photo ID — Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID, or Passport ☐ A recent passport-size photograph, matching the one uploaded during registration ☐ Any category or PwBD certificate mentioned as mandatory on your specific admit card You should arrive well in advance of the reporting time on your card since the entry closing time is strict, gate checks at CBT centres involving biometric and frisking procedures regularly turn away candidates who arrive as little as 10 to 15 minutes after the cutoff.

Delhi HC SPA PA Recruitment 2026: Apply for 150 Posts
Last updated: 6 September 2026 For the 2026 Senior Personal Assistant and Personal Assistant recruitment by the Delhi High Court: apply online at delhihighcourt.nic.in for 150 posts and find out about the Level-8 salary, the eligibility requirements and the shorthand requirements. The official announcement of the Delhi High Court's SPA PA Recruitment 2026 has just been made, and it is one of the most distinguished opportunities available this year for the clerical cadre within India's judicial system. The Delhi High Court has called for online applications for 150 Group 'B' positions — consisting of 117 Senior Personal Assistants (SPA) and 33 Personal Assistants (PA) — with the starting pay being among the highest offered to stenographers throughout the country. The post is well worth applying for if you are a graduate possessing good English shorthand and typing abilities. However, before you start filling in the application form, it is important that you clearly understand what kind of position suits your skill level, how the four-stage selection process actually functions, and where most candidates fail to get marks even though they aren't aware of it. This guide provides a full explanation of all the official details given in the notification issued by the Delhi High Court on 2 September 2026. Delhi High Court SPA PA Recruitment 2026 — Quick Overview Recruiting Body High Court of Delhi, New Delhi Exam Name Senior Personal Assistant and Personal Assistant Examination 2026 Post Category Group 'B' Total Vacancies 150 Notification Release Date 2 September 2026 Application Mode Online Only Application Start Date 15 September 2026, 11:00 AM Last Date to Apply 5 October 2026, 11:00 PM Correction Window 12 October 2026 (11:00 AM) to 14 October 2026 (11:00 PM) Age Limit 18 to 32 years (on 01.01.2026) Job Location New Delhi Official Website delhihighcourt.nic.in The Real Differentiator: Two Posts, Two Separate Applications This is the section that most candidates fail to notice until it's too late. SPA and PA are considered to be two separate recruitment processes even though they are issued under the same notification. In the case where you are eligible for both positions and wish to increase your chances of success, you have to file two individual online applications and pay two separate application fees—one cannot take the place of the other and there is no combined application form. This has a strategic implication. Although SPA requires a more demanding shorthand speed (110 wpm) it provides a higher Pay Level (8), whereas PA has a slightly less strict requirement in terms of shorthand (100 wpm) but offers only Pay Level 7. A candidate who is only confident at 100 wpm should not simply decide to skip applying just because SPA appears more prestigious—instead, if eligible they should apply for both, since doing so actually doubles your chance of being selected. Post-wise Vacancy Breakdown Post Vacancies Pay Level (7th CPC) Minimum Shorthand Speed Minimum Typing Speed Senior Personal Assistant (SPA) 117 Level 8 110 words per minute 40 words per minute Personal Assistant (PA) 33 Level 7 100 words per minute 40 words per minute Total 150 — — — Eligibility Criteria Educational Qualification A bachelor's degree from any field of study at a university that is recognized. The ability to write in English shorthand at the speed required for the relevant position (110 wpm for SPA and 100 wpm for PA). Typing in English at a speed of at least 40 words per minute on a computer. A good knowledge of computer applications. Age Limit Minimum age: 18 years Maximum age: 32 years The age is that as of 1 January 2026. The age relaxation is in accordance with the norms of the Government of India — for the exact number of years available by category, refer to the official notification. Delhi High Court SPA & PA Salary 2026 — Pay Level 8 vs Level 7 This is one of the main reasons why this recruitment attracts stenographers from all over the country. Post Pay Level Pay Scale Range (Approximate) Senior Personal Assistant (SPA) Level 8 ₹47,600 – ₹1,51,100 per month Personal Assistant (PA) Level 7 ₹44,900 – ₹1,42,400 per month In addition to their basic salary, certain candidates are given a Dearness Allowance (DA), a House Rent Allowance (HRA), and other allowances which are applicable to appointments in Delhi, as a result of which their actual in-hand salary is much higher than the basic amount alone. Four-Stage Selection Workflow The process used for selecting candidates for both SPA and PA is the same in that it has four stages, but different criteria are applied at each stage. Stage I — English Typing Test (Qualifying Only) It is a computer-administered typing test of 10 minutes' duration and a minimum speed of 40 words per minute, the rate being calculated using the 'characters with space' method. The maximum number of errors allowed is 3% of the total number of words typed. This section is entirely for qualifying purposes and the marks obtained in it are not included in your final merit, so you should regard it simply as a clearance hurdle and not as a chance to score points. Stage II — English Shorthand Test Candidates are only admitted to this stage if they have passed Stage I, and it is at this point that merit actually begins to count. SPA: The dictation was carried out at a speed of 110 words per minute for a 550-word passage lasting over five minutes, and then there was an additional 45 minutes for transcription. The total score was 120. PA: The dictation was carried out at a speed of 100 words per minute for a 500-word passage, taking five minutes, and then there was 45 minutes allocated to transcription. The total score was 110. A candidate has two tries at the shorthand dictation-transcription test and the higher of the two scores is taken as the result. Stage III — Main (Descriptive) Examination The paper should be written over a period of 120 minutes and be worth 100 marks; the minimum qualifying marks are 50 out of 100 for candidates in the General category and 45 out of 100 for those in the Reserved category, this including eligible candidates with permanent disabilities. Stage IV — Interview The last stage consists of 15 marks and looks at the candidate's overall suitability, their communication skills, and their general awareness with regard to the role of a judicial secretarial appointee. Shorthand Accuracy & Transcription Parameters It is actually accuracy — not speed — that leads to the majority of eliminations; the precise method of marking according to the official pattern is as follows: Parameter Senior Personal Assistant (SPA) Personal Assistant (PA) Shorthand Dictation Speed 110 words per minute 100 words per minute Passage Length 550 words 500 words Dictation Duration 5 minutes 5 minutes Transcription Time 45 minutes (no extra reading time) 45 minutes (no extra reading time) Total Marks 120 110 Maximum Permissible Mistakes 27.5 mistakes (5% of total words) 25 mistakes (5% of total words) Marking Deduction 4 marks per full mistake, 2 marks per half mistake 4 marks per full mistake, 2 marks per half mistake Disqualification Threshold Over 27.5 errors Over 25 errors Attempts Given 2 (better of the two considered) 2 (better of the two considered) This should be made clear: the 3% allowance for mistakes refers only to the Stage I Typing Test; the Shorthand Test at Stage II has its own, more strict 5% mistake tolerance, which is calculated based on the total number of words dictated. It is a typical error that candidates make when preparing themselves — you should practice each stage according to its individual benchmark. Application Fee Category Application Fee General / OBC-NCL / EWS ₹1,500 SC / ST / PwBD / Ex-Servicemen ₹1,300 The fees can only be paid online using a Debit Card, a Credit Card, Net Banking, or UPI. Remember that when you are applying for both SPA and PA, the fee is charged separately for each application. Step-by-Step Online Application Guide Go to the official website at delhihighcourt.nic.in.

Sign in and complete the application form by entering your personal, educational, and category information. Upload scans of your photograph, signature, and the necessary certificates in the format and size specified. Decide whether you are submitting an application for SPA, PA, or for both of them—just remember that applying for both means you have to make two separate submissions.

PFRDA Grade A Recruitment 2026 - 30 Posts, Apply Now
Last updated: 5 September 2026 PFRDA Grade A Recruitment 2026 — Overview The notification for the PFRDA Grade A Recruitment 2026 has now been issued, and for those in finance, law, IT, and among postgraduate professionals who are considering a career in regulation, this is one that is well worth keeping an eye on. The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority put out Advertisement No. 03/2026 on 3 September 2026, offering 30 Officer Grade A (Assistant Manager) positions, and the applications period is open at pfrda.org.in until 24 September 2026. In short, there are 30 positions in four different streams, with a revised pay scale beginning at a basic pay of ₹62,500, and the selection will take place through three stages—Phase I, Phase II, and the Interview. Organization Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), New Delhi Advertisement No. 03/2026, dated 3 September 2026 Post Name Officer Grade 'A' (Assistant Manager) Total Vacancies 30 Application Window 3 September – 24 September 2026 Age Limit Not exceeding 30 years as on 31 July 2026 (born on or after 1 August 1996) Selection Stages Phase I → Phase II → Interview Official Website pfrda.org.in PFRDA Grade A Vacancy Details (Stream-Wise) Stream Posts General 25 Research 2 Actuary 2 Official Language (Rajbhasha) 1 Total 30 The General stream includes the majority of the available places this cycle, making it the most competitive one but also the most accessible route for applicants seeking an MBA (Finance), or for those with a graduate or postgraduate qualification without a specific stream qualification. Streams such as Actuary and Rajbhasha have only a small number of spots — it's important to be aware of this before deciding to spend time preparing for a specialist stream that offers just one or two places. PFRDA Grade A Eligibility Criteria 2026 Educational qualification depends entirely on the stream applied for: In the General Stream, graduation is offered, although those who hold a professional qualification—such as CA, MBA Finance, or a similar postgraduate degree—usually have a advantage since the PFRDA arranges the Phase II specialisation papers in this way. For the various specialized fields such as Finance & Accounts, IT, and Legal, a relevant professional degree or certification (specifically, CA or CFA in the case of Finance, B.Tech or MCA for IT, and LLB for Legal) as stated in the criteria for each stream in the official notification is required. For the Research and Actuary streams: a relevant postgraduate qualification or actuarial certification as specified. It is also necessary for candidates to be computer literate and familiar with MS-Office (Word and Excel) – this is a definite requirement, not just a matter of formality, since it is verified at the document verification stage. Age limit: 30 years at the latest as of 31 July 2026. The usual government relaxations apply in the cases of the SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen categories. One point to note is that candidates who fall within the OBC 'Creamy Layer' are not eligible for OBC reservation and have to apply in the UR/General category. PFRDA Grade A Salary Structure 2026 — What Changed This Year The headline change is that this cycle the PFRDA has increased the basic pay for Grade A officers from ₹44,500 to ₹62,500 a month. This represents a significant rise and is the principal reason why this recruitment is attracting more attention than in earlier PFRDA cycles. The lowest monthly income figures on the scale range from ₹1.4 to ₹2.05 lakh, depending on the source and the various allowances (HRA, DA, and other perquisites differing according to the posting location). The exact amount you will receive in hand will depend on your city category and the deductions made; therefore, you should check the detailed breakdown in the official notification PDF rather than depend on a single figure that is circulating online. The fact that working at the PFRDA places you in the same prestigious category as officers at SEBI, the RBI, and the IFSCA — India's other main regulators in the financial and pension sectors — is one of the reasons why competition for these 30 positions is so intense throughout each cycle. PFRDA Grade A Phase 1-2 Exam Pattern 2026 Selection runs through three stages, and each one filters out a large chunk of applicants: Phase I (Preliminary): There are two papers, each containing 100 marks. This year there has been one notable change – the number of Reasoning questions in Prelims Paper 1 has gone up to 30, as compared to earlier years. When using old PFRDA previous year questions for practice, you should take into account this change before concluding that the paper format is the same. In Phase II (Mains) there are two papers each carrying 100 marks, the papers covering knowledge of the subject relevant to the stream as well as including English and general awareness components according to the stream applied for. In Phase III (the interview), candidates who meet both the Phase I and Phase II cut-offs are interviewed. For each incorrect answer in the relevant papers, negative marking is applied by deducting one-fourth of the marks that would have been awarded to that answer — a rule established by the PFRDA which targets candidates who make careless guesses in Phase I. The final assessment is based on a ratio of 85:15 between the Phase II CBT and the interview — so your written results have much more influence than the interview, although a bad interview can still have a significant negative effect on an otherwise good Phase II score. PFRDA Grade A Application Fee 2026 Candidates belonging to the General/OBC/EWS categories have to pay the standard application fee as announced for each stream (a separate fee applies for each stream if one is applying to more than one stream). The point worth noting is that all female candidates, together with those from the SC/ST/PwBD communities, are completely exempt from having to pay the application fee—a wider exemption than is generally available in most PSU or regulatory recruitment exercises, which usually limit exemption to SC/ST/PwBD candidates only. Once a fee has been paid, it cannot be refunded under any circumstances, and if you are applying to more than one stream you must make separate applications together with separate fee payments.

SSC Stenographer Final Result 2026 Declared - 1715 Posts
Last updated: 5 September 2026 SSC Stenographer Final Result 2026 Declared: Grade C & D Merit List, Cut Off & Department Allocation The final result for the SSC Stenographer exam in 2026 is now available, and for those who took the Grade C or Grade D Skill Test, this is the document which determines what happens next. The Staff Selection Commission announced the result on 18 June 2026, suspended it the following day, and then released an amended version. The fact that it was announced, paused and then revised is important—so if you're only reading one article on this result, you should read the section about the revision before any other part. In short, 1,715 candidates have been shortlisted in the first round of tentative allocation, with them being distributed between the Grade C and Grade D positions, and the next stage of the process is department-level sliding and document verification. Overview Table Field Details Conducting Body Staff Selection Commission (SSC), New Delhi Exam Name Stenographer Grade 'C' & 'D' Examination 2025 CBT Held On 6–8 August 2025 Result Type Final Result — First Round of Tentative Allocation (FRTA) Result Declared On 18 June 2026 (revised after Skill Test re-evaluation) Total Candidates Shortlisted 1,715 Grade C Shortlisted About 232 Grade D Shortlisted About 1,483 Official Website ssc.gov.in Why This Result Has Two Versions — Not a Typo The section that most articles omit refers to the fact that on 18 June the SSC announced the SSC Stenographer Final Result 2026, including the FRTA department allocations. On the following day, 19 June, the Commission suspended the process since candidates had objected to the way their Skill Test dictation and transcription had been assessed. This led to a re-examination, after which a revised result was issued based on the updated Sliding Mechanism. It's to be expected if you save a screenshot or PDF of the site on 18 June and it doesn't match the current version, since the amended one is the one that matters for department allocation and all the subsequent steps. Grade C & D Selection Breakdown Stage Grade C Grade D Qualified in CBT for Skill Test 8,624 22,456 Actually Appeared for Skill Test 4,907 12,564 Shortlisted in Final Result (FRTA) ~232 ~1,483 Grade D has about six times as many vacancies as Grade C this cycle—something to bear in mind if you are deciding which preference to rank higher when sliding. Understanding the Sliding Process Sliding is not a separate examination; rather, it is the method by which the SSC decides which department each eligible candidate will enter when more than one candidate is eligible for a particular post. From 19 to 22 June 2026, candidates who were eligible had the opportunity to log in and select their preferred venue, date, and time slot for the sliding exercise — this being a compulsory step if you wanted to have any influence over the outcome of your department allocation. If you miss that window, you'll be assigned by SSC according to its merit-and-vacancy criteria rather than your preferred order. Department Code Guide The SSC Stenographer posts are assigned to the various central ministries and departments, not to any one office. Previous cycles—along with this one—have included the following allocations: Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) Ministry of Defence Ministry of Home Affairs Various attached and subordinate offices under different central ministries The department code is listed next to your roll number in the result PDF; you should match it carefully since two candidates who have similar roll numbers may be assigned to completely different ministries and errors in reading the code are a common mistake which can be avoided. How to Download the SSC Stenographer Final Result 2026 PDF Visit ssc.gov.in. On the homepage, click on the 'Results' section. Open the "Stenographer" category. Choose the 'Stenographer Grade 'C' and 'D' Examination — Declaration of Final Result (Revised). Download the PDF. Press the Ctrl and F keys and search for your roll number. If you see your roll number, write your department code beside it. Keep the PDF file since you'll have to verify it again during the document verification process. SSC Steno Cut Off Marks 2026 The cut-off score for Stenographer Grade C and D is determined by combining the results from the CBT with qualification in the Skill Test, and this cut-off differs according to category and post preference. The SSC has not set a single fixed figure that applies to all candidates—the only sure way to find out where you stand is to check the cut-off figure for your specific category in the official result PDF. As a general trend observed in recent cycles, the cut-off for Grade C is considerably higher than that for Grade D, since there are fewer vacancies for Grade C. Pre-Appointment Verification Formalities Before your appointment is confirmed, keep these ready — department verification teams are strict about originals, not photocopies: ☐ Original 12th (Intermediate) passing certificate ☐ Shorthand/typing skill certificate issued at the time of the Skill Test ☐ Caste/category certificate, if claiming reservation ☐ Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, or equivalent) ☐ Recent passport-size photographs ☐ SSC Stenographer admit card (CBT and Skill Test both) ☐ Any experience or additional qualification certificates mentioned in your application The ministry that has been allocated to you—whether it be MEA, CBDT, CBIC, or the one to which you have been assigned—will get in touch with you directly about the next steps. Since the dossiers have already been sent to these departments, there's no need to wait for a general announcement from the SSC; instead, you should keep an eye out for messages from your particular ministry. Important Dates Event Date CBT Held 6–8 August 2025 Skill Test Conducted Late 2025 / Early 2026 (as per SSC regional schedule) First Result Declared 18 June 2026 Result Withheld Pending Review 19 June 2026 Sliding Process Window 19–22 June 2026 Revised Final Result Released Following review completion Important Links Resource Link Official Result PDF ssc.gov.in — Results section Free Mock tests Attempt Free SSC Steno & Central Exam Mock Tests Daily English & GK Questions Practice Daily English Grammar & Reasoning Quizzes Latest Results Browse Latest Govt Exam Results 2026 Closing The SSC Stenographer Final Result 2026 marks the near-final stage for 1,715 candidates heading into central government stenographer roles across Grade C and Grade D posts. The revision after 18 June caught many candidates off guard, so treat the current PDF — not the first one — as authoritative. Keep your documents ready, watch for direct contact from your allotted ministry, and confirm every date against ssc.gov.in before making travel or joining arrangements.

Bihar Police PST Admit Card 2026: Download @csbc.bih.nic.in
Last updated: 5 September 2026 Bihar Police Constable PST Admit Card 2026 Released: Download e-Admit Card, Check 12 September Physical Rally Details at csbc.bih.nic.in If you have passed the written examination taken on 24 June 2026 and your name is included in the results announcement issued on 18 August 2026, then this is the most important document you will have this month. Should you lose it, forget it or misread your reporting time, you could end up losing your government position due to an administrative error — not because of any lack of fitness. The following guide will show you how to obtain the document by direct download, what the physical measurement standards are, present the complete 100-mark scoring chart, and precisely what you should put in your document folder. Bihar Police Constable PST Admit Card 2026 — Quick Overview Particulars Details Recruiting Body Central Selection Board of Constable (CSBC), Patna Post Name Constable (General Duty, Close Cadre), Special Branch, Bihar Police Advertisement Number 01/2026, dated 29 January 2026 Total Vacancies 83 Posts Written Exam Date 24 June 2026 Written Result Declared 18 August 2026 CSBC Notice Issued 29 August 2026 PST/DV Admit Card Release 4–5 September 2026 PST cum Document Verification Date 12 September 2026 Duplicate Admit Card Window 10 September 2026 (10 AM – 5 PM) Official Websites csbc.bihar.gov.in, csbc.bih.nic.in The One Thing Every Candidate Must Understand First The point that most guidebooks omit or fail to mention is that your score in the written examination has no bearing on the final merit list. The written test in the recruitment for Bihar Police Constables is entirely qualifying in nature—all you had to do was secure at least 30% to get to this stage, and that's all. It is what happens from this point onward that determines your rank. The final merit is calculated by adding together the marks obtained in the 100% Physical Efficiency Test (PET), specifically 50 marks for running, 25 marks for shot put, and 25 marks for high jump, making a total of 100 marks; the candidate who runs fastest, throws farthest, and jumps highest wins the place—no matter what their score was on the OMR sheet. That is why viewing 12 September as "no more than a formality" represents the one major error candidates commit. Regardless of your written score, all the people taking the PST/PET round will have to start from zero again. How to Download Bihar Police Constable PST Admit Card 2026 Go to the official CSBC website at csbc.bihar.gov.in or csbc.bih.nic.in. Find the notice on the homepage which reads: "Download Admit Card for PST of Special Branch Constable (Close Cadre), Advt. No. 01/2026." If you click on the link, you will be taken to the login page. Please enter your Registration Number or Registered Mobile Number and your Date of Birth. Enter the CAPTCHA code and then click Submit. The PST/DV e-admit card will be displayed on the screen — make sure that your name, photograph, roll number, reporting time, and the venue address are all correct. Download the PDF and get at least two or three printed copies, making sure the print quality is good (and if possible, use colour for the photo). Can you find your Admit Card or is it not downloading? Candidates who encounter technical difficulties can obtain a duplicate hard copy directly from the board's office. In previous cycles, this service has usually been available at the CSBC office on Back Harding Road, near Secretariat, Patna – 800001, on a set date before the physical round; in this cycle it will be on 10 September 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. When you go, be sure to take your registration slip, a valid photo ID, and two passport photographs. 12 September Physical Rally: Venue and Reporting Details The CSBC notice of 29 August 2026 states that the PST together with Document Verification for this cycle of Special Branch Constables (Advt. 01/2026) will take place at the ground of the Bihar Veterinary College in Patna. This should be distinguished from the CSBC administrative office on Harding Road, since it is at the ground that the actual physical measurements and the running track are arranged. When you are looking into this subject on the internet, you might come across the term "Gardanibagh rally" as Gardanibagh is a well-known area and a police-lines zone in Patna that has in the past been the site of police physical rounds during previous recruitment rounds. For the 2026 Special Branch cycle, though, the official notice confirms that the venue will be the ground of the Bihar Veterinary College. Since the CSBC at times divides the candidates over several grounds according to their roll numbers, you should not depend on any third-party article — such as this one — to determine your final venue. You must always verify the exact address, gate number, and reporting time that are printed on your own e-admit card before you go. General Instructions for the Physical Rally Day Make a report at least two hours before your scheduled reporting time since the traffic near the college and hospital areas in Patna can be unpredictable on rally days. Go in wearing sports clothes and running shoes since you could be asked to carry out the run on the same day as the document checking. To protect your admit card from rain or sweat, carry it in a plastic folder. Electronic gadgets, smartwatches, and fitness bands are not permitted inside the measurement/running enclosure. Female candidates must take their required medical fitness or category certificates with them so that they can be checked quickly. Bihar Police Constable PST: Physical Standards (Height, Chest, Weight) The PST is of a qualifying type — if you meet the standard you do so and if not you don't, with no marks awarded for exceeding it. The criteria as notified by CSBC for Advt. 01/2026 are as follows: Category Height (Male) Height (Female) Chest (Male, Unexpanded–Expanded) Weight (Female) General / BC 165 cm 155 cm 81–86 cm 48 kg (minimum) EBC / SC / ST 160 cm 155 cm 79–84 cm 48 kg (minimum) Note that female candidates are not required to provide a separate chest measurement; instead, weight is the criterion used for qualification. When you go to the testing centre, take your original caste/category certificate with you, since your PST standard will be determined according to the category verified there and not merely on the one you stated in the form. Bihar Police Constable PET: 100-Mark Scoring Criteria Breakdown The section in question determines your rank; make sure to study it carefully since a difference of two seconds in your run or one foot in your shot put could move your position by hundreds of ranks. 1. Running (Maximum 50 Marks) — This event carries the most weight. Male Candidates (1.6 km Race) Marks Female Candidates (1 km Race) Marks Up to 5 minutes 50 Up to 4 minutes 50 5:00 – 5:20 minutes 40 4:00 – 4:20 minutes 40 5:20 – 5:40 minutes 30 4:20 – 4:40 minutes 30 5:40 – 6:00 minutes 20 4:40 – 5:00 minutes 20 More than 6 minutes Disqualified More than 5 minutes Disqualified 2. Shot Put / Gola Fek (Maximum 25 Marks) Male (16-pound shot) Marks Female (12-pound shot) Marks 16 – 17 feet 9 12 – 13 feet 9 17 – 18 feet 13 13 – 14 feet 13 18 – 19 feet 17 14 – 15 feet 17 19 – 20 feet 21 15 – 16 feet 21 More than 20 feet 25 More than 16 feet 25 Less than 16 feet Disqualified Less than 12 feet Disqualified 3. High Jump (Maximum 25 Marks) Male (Minimum 4 feet) Marks Female (Minimum 3 feet) Marks 4 feet 13 3 feet 13 4 feet 4 inches 17 3 feet 4 inches 17 4 feet 8 inches 21 3 feet 8 inches 21 5 feet or more 25 4 feet or more 25 Less than 4 feet Disqualified Less than 3 feet Disqualified Here's a strategy: because running on its own earns you half of the total marks, combining a average performance in the shot put and high jump with a fast run under five minutes will leave you ahead of a candidate who is only good in one of the field events. Mandatory Documents Checklist for 12 September Take the original documents together with one self-attested photocopy of each of the following; if even a single one is missing you will be turned away immediately – the CSBC verification staff will not accept the statement 'I'll send it later.' ☐ PST/DV e-Admit Card (printed copy) ☐ Original Matriculation (10th) Certificate — for date of birth proof ☐ Original 10+2 / Intermediate Marksheet and Certificate ☐ Caste/Category Certificate (SC/ST/EBC/BC), issued by competent authority ☐ Income & Asset Certificate, if claiming EWS reservation ☐ Domicile / Residence Certificate of Bihar ☐ Character Certificate from school/college or a Gazetted Officer ☐ 8–10 recent passport-size color photographs ☐ Valid original photo ID (Aadhaar Card / Voter ID / Driving Licence) ☐ NCC/Sports/Ex-servicemen dependent certificate, if applicable for weightage ☐ Medical fitness declaration (if specified in your admit card) ☐ Written exam admit card (2026), for cross-reference Bihar Police Constable Recruitment 2026: Complete Timeline Event Date Online Application Started 06 February 2026 Last Date to Apply Online 05 March 2026 Last Date for Fee Payment 05 March 2026 Written Exam Admit Card 17–18 June 2026 Written Examination 24 June 2026 Written Result Declared 18 August 2026 PST/DV Notice Issued 29 August 2026 PST/DV Admit Card Release 4–5 September 2026 Duplicate Admit Card Collection 10 September 2026 PST cum Document Verification 12 September 2026 Final Merit List (Expected) To be notified after PET completion Important Links Table Resource Link Download PST/DV Admit Card 2026 Direct CSBC Admit Card Login Link PST/DV Notice PDF (29 Aug 2026) Official Notice PDF Bihar Police Constable Syllabus and Test 2026 Attempt Free Bihar Police & State Exam Mock Tests Bihar Police PET Preparation Tips Practice Daily Physical Exam GK & Science Quizzes CSBC Exam Calendar 2026 Sarkari Mock Test Online Exam Calendar & Alerts Disclaimer: Dates, venue, and marking criteria are based on CSBC's official notices as available at the time of writing.

SSC IMD Scientific Assistant 2026: Apply 1,100+ Posts
Last Updated: 3 September 2026 SSC IMD Scientific Assistant Recruitment 2026: Apply Online at ssc.gov.in, Check Eligibility, Salary Level-6 & Exam Pattern A quick number check before we start. Some searches float a figure of "1,100+" for this recruitment. That's not quite right. The Staff Selection Commission released a combined notification on 2 September 2026 covering Junior Engineer posts and Scientific Assistant (IMD) posts together — 1,748 vacancies in total. Of that, the IMD Scientific Assistant share is 100+ posts, with the exact category-wise split to follow later. Worth knowing before you calculate your odds. The SSC launched the application process for the post of Scientific Assistant with the India Meteorological Department on 2 September 2026; this is included within the SSC JE 2026 notification and is not available as a separate form—a point which causes many candidates to make a mistake each time. The applications must be submitted by 11 PM on 22 September 2026. The salary scale is Level-6, translating into an initial basic pay of ₹35,400, which will increase to ₹1,12,400 later on. . If you're a graduate in physics and are wondering whether or not this job is worth pursuing, or if you're someone with just a diploma and unsure whether or not you're eligible, then this article looks at the actual eligibility calculations, the format of the exam, and a few things that previous applicants wish somebody had told them before. SSC IMD Scientific Assistant 2026: Quick Overview Particulars Details Recruiting Body Staff Selection Commission (SSC), on behalf of IMD Parent Notification SSC JE Examination 2026 (combined with Scientific Assistant IMD) Post Scientific Assistant, India Meteorological Department Vacancies (IMD-specific) 100+ (part of 1,748 total SSC JE 2026 vacancies) Application Window 2 September – 22 September 2026 (11:00 PM) Pay Level Level-6, ₹35,400 – ₹1,12,400 Selection Mode Two-paper Computer Based Test + Document Verification Official Websites ssc.gov.in / mausam.imd.gov.in Who Actually Qualifies — The Eligibility Chain Nobody Explains Properly Here's where most articles get lazy. They'll tell you "B.Sc with Physics" and stop there. But there's a chain of conditions, and missing one link disqualifies you even if the rest checks out. You need Class 12 completed with Physics and Mathematics as subjects. This isn't optional background — it's the foundation everything else sits on. On top of that 10+2, you need either a Bachelor's degree in Science with Physics (or Computer Science, IT, Computer Applications, Electronics, Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering) — OR a 3-year Diploma in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering. And here's the part candidates skim past: your degree or diploma needs at least 60% aggregate marks. Not qualifying-pass. Sixty percent, minimum. So a physics graduate with 58% aggregate, however strong their subject knowledge, doesn't clear the door. Check your marksheet's actual percentage before you spend weeks preparing. Age Limit The maximum period is 30 years, based on the cutoff date specified in the notification. In the case of SC/ST, a relaxation of 5 years is granted, a relaxation of 3 years is given to the OBC category, and additional relaxation is provided for the PwBD and Ex-Servicemen categories in accordance with government norms. How to Apply for SSC IMD Scientific Assistant 2026 Head to ssc.gov.in and look for the Junior Engineer Examination 2026 notification — Scientific Assistant IMD sits inside it, so don't search separately for a standalone SA form. Complete One-Time Registration (OTR) first, if you haven't already registered on the SSC portal before. Log in and open the application form specifically for Scientific Assistant (IMD), selecting it as your post preference. Fill in educational details carefully — your percentage matters here, so enter it exactly as it appears on your certificate. Choose your preferred technical paper for Part-II of the exam — more on this below, because this choice locks in early and shapes your entire prep strategy. Upload photograph, signature, and required documents in the specified format. Pay the application fee — ₹100 for General/OBC/EWS, with SC/ST/PwBD/female candidates exempted. Review everything twice, then submit. Save your registration number; you'll need it repeatedly. The Exam Pattern — And Why Your Part-II Choice Matters Early Two papers, both computer-based, both objective. Simple enough on paper. The catch is that Part-II isn't fixed for everyone — you pick your technical discipline during the application itself, and that choice sticks with you through the whole process. Paper Subject Questions Marks Duration Paper-I General Intelligence & Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, English Language, General Awareness 100 100 2 Hours Paper-II Technical Paper — choice of Physics, Computer Science & IT, or Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering 100 100 2 Hours Negative marking applies at 0.25 per wrong answer in both papers. Nothing unusual there — standard SSC scoring. Picking Your Part-II Subject: A Real Decision, Not a Formality Candidates with a pure Physics degree usually default to the Physics paper, and that's the sensible call. But if your degree was in Computer Science or IT, don't force yourself into the Physics paper just because the post is "meteorology-adjacent." Pick the discipline you actually studied — the technical paper rewards depth, not general science curiosity. Electronics & Telecommunication graduates get their own dedicated paper too, so there's no need to stretch a CS background to fit it. Salary and Job Profile — What You're Actually Signing Up For Component Details Pay Level Level-6 (7th CPC) Pay Scale ₹35,400 – ₹1,12,400 Post Classification Group 'B', Non-Gazetted Core Work Weather observation, meteorological data collection and analysis, supporting forecasting operations It's not a desk job in the way most Group B postings are. You're working with live instrumentation, real-time data streams, and — depending on posting — sometimes remote or high-altitude observatories. Worth factoring in if you're weighing this against a purely administrative role elsewhere. Selection Process: From Application to Appointment Computer Based Examination — Paper-I and Paper-II, both objective, conducted together. Document Verification — original certificates checked against your application, including that 60% aggregate marksheet. Final Merit & Allotment — based on normalized marks and category-wise vacancy availability.

UPSC Mains Admit Card 2026 Out: Download IAS Hall Ticket
UPSC Mains Admit Card 2026: Download Civil Services Main Hall Ticket at upsconline.nic.in Editorial Accuracy Note: This article has been fact-checked against the official UPSC 2026 examination calendar. The Civil Services (Main) Examination 2026 was conducted from 21 to 30 August 2026 (not September), and the e-Admit Card was released on 14 August 2026. This article covers verified official dates rather than unverified estimates circulating elsewhere. The UPSC Mains Admit Card 2026 was released by the Union Public Service Commission on 14 August 2026 at upsconline.nic.in, for candidates who cleared the Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2026 and submitted their Detailed Application Form (DAF-I). The Civil Services (Main) Examination 2026 was held across five exam days spanning two weekends — 21 to 23 August and again on 29 to 30 August 2026 — for 933 vacancies across the IAS, IPS, IFS, and other central civil services, under Advertisement No. 05/2026. This guide walks you through the exact download process, the full paper-wise schedule, the strict gate-closure rules UPSC enforces, and the ID-verification requirement that has disqualified careless candidates in past cycles. UPSC Mains Admit Card 2026: Quick Overview Particulars Details Exam Name Civil Services (Main) Examination 2026 Conducting Body Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Advertisement No. 05/2026 Total Vacancies 933 (IAS, IPS, IFS & Central Services) Admit Card Release Date 14 August 2026 Mains Exam Dates 21, 22, 23, 29, 30 August 2026 Total Papers 9 (Essay, GS I-IV, Indian Language, English, Optional I & II) Official Websites upsconline.nic.in / upsc.gov.in Why This Admit Card Deserves Extra Attention: Unlike Prelims, the UPSC Mains admit card is checked against a second, independent photo-ID verification layer. UPSC's own instructions state candidates must carry the exact original Government Photo ID whose number is printed on the e-Admit Card — not any valid ID, but the specific one you entered during registration. A mismatch here has led to entry denial even for candidates holding a valid card. Cross-check this the moment you download your hall ticket, not on exam morning. How to Download the UPSC Mains Admit Card 2026 Visit the official portal — upsconline.nic.in — or the e-Admit Card link on upsc.gov.in. Click on the notification for "Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2026 — e-Admit Card." Read the on-screen instructions carefully and tick the acknowledgment checkbox. Enter your Registration ID or Roll Number, along with your Date of Birth and the security code shown. Submit the form — your e-Admit Card will display on screen with your photograph, roll number, and exam centre details. Download the PDF and take a clear printout — UPSC does not accept mobile-screen display as a valid substitute at the gate. Verify every field immediately: name spelling, photograph, exam centre, and especially the ID document number printed on the card. UPSC Mains 2026: Full 5-Day Exam Schedule Date Forenoon Session (9:00 AM – 12:00 Noon) Afternoon Session (2:30 PM – 5:30 PM) 21 August 2026 (Friday) Paper-I: Essay No Paper 22 August 2026 (Saturday) Paper-II: General Studies-I Paper-III: General Studies-II 23 August 2026 (Sunday) Paper-IV: General Studies-III Paper-V: General Studies-IV 29 August 2026 (Saturday) Paper-A: Indian Language Paper-B: English 30 August 2026 (Sunday) Paper-VI: Optional Subject Paper 1 Paper-VII: Optional Subject Paper 2 Why the Schedule Splits Across Two Weekends UPSC deliberately spaces the nine papers over two separate weekends rather than nine consecutive days. This gives candidates a recovery week between the qualifying papers (Essay + GS I-IV) and the optional-subject papers — a structural detail several competitor articles simply list as a table without explaining why it matters for your preparation pacing. Gate Closure & Entry Rules — What UPSC Enforces Strictly Strict 30-Minute Gate Closure: Entry to the examination venue closes 30 minutes before the session begins — 08:30 AM sharp for the forenoon session (9:00 AM start) and 02:00 PM sharp for the afternoon session (2:30 PM start). UPSC's written instructions make no exception for traffic delays, security queues, or biometric verification time — arriving even a few minutes past gate closure means no entry, full stop. Photo ID Rule: Why "Any Valid ID" Is Not Enough Most candidates assume any government ID works. It doesn't, not here. The ID you carry must show the exact same ID number printed on your admit card — the one you entered while filling your application. If your Aadhaar was updated, or you're carrying a different ID than the one registered, correct this discrepancy well before the exam through UPSC's grievance channel, not at the gate. Items Prohibited Inside the Exam Hall Mobile phones, smartwatches, and any electronic communication device Programmable calculators or electronic gadgets of any kind Loose sheets, books, or unauthorised reference material Bags or pouches beyond what the centre explicitly permits Does the UPSC Admit Card 2026 Get Released Before Every Session? No — one e-Admit Card covers all five exam days. UPSC issues a single admit card for the entire Mains examination window; candidates use the same printout across 21, 22, 23, 29, and 30 August. There's no separate download required for each paper. Is the UPSC Mains Admit Card Out? Yes, it was released on 14 August 2026, roughly a week before the first paper. UPSC typically issues Mains admit cards about two to three weeks ahead of the exam start date, giving candidates enough runway to flag centre or detail errors. How to Check the Mains Admit Card 2026 Without Errors The most common download failure isn't a server issue — it's a mismatched Date of Birth format. Enter it exactly as DD-MM-YYYY, matching your original application, and the "record not found" error usually disappears. If it persists, your DAF-I submission status is worth checking before assuming a technical fault. What Is the Date of the UPSC Mains Exam 2026? 21, 22, 23, 29, and 30 August 2026 — five papers spread across two consecutive weekends, covering Essay, four General Studies papers, Indian Language, English, and two Optional Subject papers.

SBI PO Prelims Result 2026 Out: Download Scorecard & Merit
Last Updated: 3 September 2026 SBI PO Prelims Result 2026 Declared: Download Phase-1 Scorecard & Category Cut-Off Marks, Check 12 September Mains Exam Schedule at sbi.co.in/web/careers The result for the SBI PO Prelims in 2026 was announced on 28 August 2026, and the detailed scorecards together with the cut-off marks for each category were made available on 1 September 2026 at sbi.co.in/web/careers. The examination, which took place on 1 and 2 August 2026 pursuant to Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2026-27/09, was aimed at filling 1,500 positions as Probationary Officers, and 15,802 candidates have now been shortlisted for the Phase-II Mains, which is scheduled to take place on 12 September 2026. Now that there is just more than a week left between the announcement of the results and the Mains exam, the majority of the candidates who have qualified are having to rush about on two counts — they are checking to see if their marks have been confirmed and at the same time beginning to work on the Descriptive Test. The present guide addresses both these aspects: it gives the precise procedure for downloading the scorecard, provides the cut-off marks for each category, and includes a note on Mains preparation that most competitor articles have not yet got right. SBI PO Prelims Result 2026: Key Highlights Particulars Details Recruiting Body State Bank of India (SBI) Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2026-27/09 Post Probationary Officer (PO) Total Vacancies 1,500 Prelims Exam Dates 1 & 2 August 2026 Result Declaration Date 28 August 2026 Scorecard & Cut-Off Release 1 September 2026 Candidates Shortlisted for Mains 15,802 Mains Exam Date 12 September 2026 Official Website sbi.co.in/web/careers Read This Before You Panic Over Your Marks — The Differentiator Almost every year some of the candidates who are qualified doubt their results since they have misinterpreted the way SBI calculates them. Two points should be made at once: There is no section-wise cut-off in the SBI PO Prelims — not in the Reasoning section, not in the Quantitative Aptitude section, and not in English. The SBI assesses candidates entirely on their total score out of 100. So, even if your English section is weak you will not be disqualified as long as your total score is above the cut-off. The identical rule holds true in the Mains as well: there are no minimum scores for individual sections, merely an overall qualifying mark, which is determined by the SBI in accordance with the calling ratio for Phase III. The Prelims scores are only qualifying in nature and are neither carried forward nor added to your final merit; after you clear the Prelims, your ranking slate is reset at the Mains stage. Important point: Don't rework your English or Reasoning score on its own. As long as your overall score has gone above the category cut-off, that's that — no further action is needed. Use that energy instead to prepare for the Mains. SBI PO Prelims Cut-Off Marks 2026 (Category-Wise) Category Cut-Off Marks (Out of 100) Unreserved / General (UR) 66.25 Other Backward Classes (OBC) 66.00 Economically Weaker Section (EWS) 64.75 Scheduled Caste (SC) 58.75 Scheduled Tribe (ST) 52.75 PwBD — Locomotor Disability (LD) 52.25 PwBD — Visually Impaired (VI) 45.50 PwBD — Hearing Impaired (HI) 29.00 PwBD — Deaf & Blind (D&B) 21.25 Trend check: The cut-off mark in the General category has risen steadily — starting at 59.50 in 2022 and reaching 66.25 this year — since competition is increasing and the number of applicants is growing in each cycle. Do not compare your score with last year's benchmark since the standard this year is meaningfully higher in all categories. How to Download the SBI PO Prelims Scorecard 2026 Visit the official careers portal at sbi.co.in/web/careers (it is also available via sbi.bank.in). Select "Recruitment of Probationary Officers — Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2026-27/09." Look for the link labelled "Marks Secured by Candidates in Preliminary Examination" or the Prelims Scorecard section and click on it. To log in, please enter your registration number/roll number and date of birth. The scorecard will show your marks for each section, your total score, your category, and the relevant cut-off. Save the PDF by downloading it — you should keep a record of it even if you didn't qualify, for your own purposes when tracking your performance. That's useful: whereas the qualifying result only indicates whether or not a candidate has passed, the scorecard displays the marks of every candidate — whether or not they have qualified — so that you can see your exact score even if you haven't met the cut-off. SBI PO Mains Exam 2026: What Changed in the Descriptive Test The point that most new SBI PO candidates find surprising is this, and it should be clearly pointed out: the weightage of the Descriptive Test has been reduced this time — it has been lowered from 50 marks to 30 marks (the duration remains 30 minutes), which means the total number of marks for the Mains exam has decreased from 250 to 230 (comprising 200 objective marks and 30 descriptive marks). Component Details Objective Test 200 Marks, 3 Hours Descriptive Test 30 Marks, 30 Minutes (typed on computer) Total Mains Marks 230 Descriptive Test Tasks Email Writing (compulsory), Report Writing (compulsory), Situation Analysis OR Précis Writing (choose one) Negative Marking 0.25 marks deducted for each incorrect objective answer Sectional Cut-Off None — overall qualifying score only As for your preparation, since the weight given to the descriptive portion has been reduced from 50 to 30, those candidates who had been planning to rely on good descriptive writing to make up for a lower objective score now have less scope to do so this year. The Objective Test now has a greater proportion of weight in your final Mains score than it did in earlier cycles — you should therefore focus first on ensuring accuracy in the objective section before refining your typed English answers. SBI PO Final Selection: How Marks Are Normalised Stage Raw Marks Normalised To Mains (Objective + Descriptive) 230 75 Phase III (Group Exercise + Interview) 50 25 Total (Final Merit) 280 100 SBI PO Mains 2026: Immediate Next Steps The main exam is on 12 September 2026; since there will be about two weeks between the release of the scorecard and the exam, consider this to be a sprint rather than a marathon. The Call Letter/Phase-II Admit Card will be made available separately on the same careers portal in the vicinity of the exam date — therefore, keep regularly checking sbi.co.in/web/careers as SBI does not send it by post or email attachment. Because the Descriptive Test is entered by typing rather than by handwriting, carrying out some basic practice in typing speed (for example, ten to fifteen minutes each day) actually makes a difference if you are not accustomed to composing formal English using a keyboard instead of a pen.
