INDIA · EXAM GUIDES

Understand the exam before you prepare for it

Start with your recruitment cycle. These guides explain the paper, the selection stages and the next action, with links to official notices. Dates and rules can change.

A guide is not a recruitment notification. Check its named cycle and source-review date. Banking recruitment and teaching eligibility tests have different appointment rules from central civil-service examinations. Public sector insurers run their own officer recruitment: the UIIC AO 2026 vacancies and syllabus page covers United India Insurance’s 225 Administrative Officer (Scale I) posts. A state eligibility test is a qualification, not a recruitment: the TS TET (TG TET) syllabus and pass marks and AP TET syllabus and qualifying marks pages explain how each state counts the score for 20% of its DSC recruitment merit, and the GTET Goa syllabus page notes that a pass gives no right to a job. A state teacher recruitment test such as the TRBT STPGT syllabus for PG teachers fills posts on merit from its own written test. Court recruitment such as the Delhi High Court JJA syllabus and eligibility or the Supreme Court Junior Court Assistant syllabus adds a descriptive English paper and a typing test. State police recruitment can change the order of stages: the Uttarakhand Police constable syllabus and height page shows physical tests held before the written exam, while Telangana holds a preliminary written test before its physical tests and a final written exam after them (see the TS Police Constable height and qualifying marks and TS Police SI syllabus and height pages). How we use sources.
