For the post of Section Officer post

Paper I and Paper II worth 350 marks have already been conducted. Upon qualifying this stage, candidates will be required to appear for Paper III i.e. Descriptive Paper. Candidates must get enough marks in Paper I, Paper II, and Paper III together carrying 500 marks. The qualifying candidates will be called for the final stage i.e. Interview carrying 100 marks. The final merit, thus, will be based on marks obtained out of 600 marks for Section Officer.

For the post of Assistant Section Officer post

Candidates aiming for the post of Assistant Section Officer (Gen/F&A/S&P) will undergo a similar selection process. First, they must secure the minimum required marks out of 350 in the combined Paper I and Paper II. Those meeting this criterion move on to the next stage, which includes Paper III (Descriptive Paper) and a Computer Proficiency Test (CPT). CPT is qualifying in nature. Therefore, the final merit for ASO will be based on marks obtained out of 500 marks.
