While the 68 vacancies might seem limited compared to general state-level recruitment, the Ex-Cadre nature of this role often implies specific project-based or time-bound work environments within the High Court. A common mistake applicants make is failing to attach a valid computer certificate during submission; ensure your 6-month course document is issued by a recognized institution as per the notification. Focus your preparation on both the degree-level general knowledge and the mandatory computer literacy requirements, as the selection process typically tests practical system knowledge alongside theory.
