Eligibility, Age Limit & Fees (read this before you apply)
You’ll apply post-wise, so eligibility is post-specific; the notification lays out degrees/diplomas/trade skills for each post (e.g., B.Sc(Hort.) for HEO, MLT for MLT G-II, etc.). Keep your qualifying certificates and category proofs ready.
Age is 18–45 years on 01/01/2025 with standard relaxations per HP rules. If you’re close to the cut-off, calculate carefully and attach the correct DOB proof. (The system locks your DOB from your profile.)
Fees are simple: ₹800 for everyone and ₹100 for a one-time correction window. Pay only via the online gateway and keep the e-receipt—DV teams ask for it.
Selection Process & Exam Pattern (Syllabus at a Glance)
The flow is standard but unforgiving:
- Written Exam screens most fields; weightage is decisive.
- Skill Test (where applicable) for printing/offset/trade posts—treat this like an elimination round.
- Document Verification—mismatch in name/marksheets is the #1 avoidable rejection; align docs beforehand.
- Medical Examination—bring spectacles/prescriptions if applicable.
Pay levels follow HP Revised Pay Rules; trainee appointees usually draw a percentage of entry pay initially—plan finances accordingly.
