While the vacancy count of 84 may seem modest, this is a specialized Group B non-gazetted recruitment. Candidates often fail during the document verification stage due to discrepancies in their Master's degree subject combinations; ensure your degree strictly matches the 'Hindi/English' compulsory subject criteria mentioned in the notification before applying. The Paper-1 (CBE) in August/September is highly competitive, so focus on your language proficiency and translation skills early, as the transition from Tier-1 to descriptive papers requires significant practice.
