Personal Assistant, Stenographer, Stenographer Grade-3, Stenographer Grade-2

Who Should Apply Age: 18–42 years (General). SC/ST candidates get +5 years relaxation (up to 47 years); OBC +3 years (up to 45 years); PwD +10 years (up to 52 years). Qualification: Intermediate (for PA, Stenographer , Stenographer Grade-2) or Graduate (for Stenographer Grade-3) from a recognised board/university; shorthand speed 80 wpm and typing speed 40 wpm (Hindi) or 35 wpm (English) required. Domicile: Open to all Indian citizens; no state-specific restriction mentioned. Gender: No restriction; all genders welcome. This recruitment attracts three distinct candidate pools. Personal Assistant applicants need Intermediate qualification with typing and shorthand skills, ideal for 12th-pass candidates seeking government employment in secretarial roles. Stenographer (Grade-2) candidates must hold Intermediate plus a minimum of 3 years' relevant experience in stenography, court reporting, or secretarial work. Stenographer Grade-3 candidates need a full degree but no experience mandate, making it suitable for fresh graduates with strong shorthand expertise. Age verification is critical: use the age calculator to confirm your exact upper age limit based on your category and date of birth. Even one day over the cutoff disqualifies your application permanently. SC/ST candidates with relaxation should note their effective upper age limit (47 years) when calculating eligibility.

In-hand after NPS (~10%) and tax: approximately ₹22,000–₹65,000/month depending on actual pay in the Level-5 grid. Stenographer Grade-2 (Level-4) : Basic pay ₹21,700–₹69,100 (approx.).
