Selection Process

Tier I - Preliminary Examination (qualifying, 100 marks / 60 min)

English Language (30q/30m, 20 min, English only), Reasoning (35/35, 20 min), Quantitative Aptitude (35/35, 20 min). Section-wise and overall cut-offs apply.

• 1/4 negative marking per wrong objective answer; no penalty for unanswered questions.
• Raw scores are converted to a Corrected Score (post-penalty), then equated across different exam sessions/forms to normalise difficulty differences.
• Interview: candidates qualifying the Main Examination called up to 3x vacancies per category/discipline; outstation candidates reimbursed Sleeper Class rail/bus fare by shortest route.
• Final merit (Generalists): Objective Test + Interview marks in ratio 75:25 (Preliminary/Descriptive excluded).
• Final merit (Hindi Officers): Main Examination (Objective + Descriptive) + Interview marks in ratio 75:25 (Preliminary excluded).
• Tie-break: candidate senior in age is placed above a candidate junior in age.

Exam Accommodations for PwBD Candidates

• Scribe (own arrangement, candidate's cost): available to Visually Impaired candidates and PwBD candidates (40%+ disability) with permanently affected writing speed. The scribe must be from a different academic stream, cannot be a candidate for the same exam or a current UIIC employee, and cannot scribe for more than one candidate. Requested at the time of application; a signed declaration (from both candidate and scribe) is required, and the scribe's own qualification must be one step below the candidate's.
• Compensatory time: 20 minutes per hour of examination for scribe users, locomotor-disability/cerebral-palsy candidates (40%+ impairment of the writing hand), Visually Impaired candidates (40%+, also eligible for a magnified-font test display), and Intellectual Disability candidates (40%+, with or without a scribe).
• Under-40% disability with genuine writing difficulty: can still get a scribe/compensatory time on production of a medical certificate from a competent Government healthcare authority, again with the scribe's qualification one step below the candidate's.
• Any scribe used outside these rules, or found independently answering/assisting, leads to immediate disqualification of both candidate and scribe (even retrospectively, after joining).
• Pre-Examination Training (online): offered to SC/ST/OBC (Non-Creamy)/PwBD candidates who opt in on the application form; schedule shared via registered email/mobile. Attending it does not itself confer any right to employment.

Certifying Authorities for Category Certificates

State-specific: Maharashtra SC/ST/OBC claimants need a Caste Validity Certificate at interview. Tamil Nadu Scheduled Tribe candidates need a certificate specifically from the Revenue Divisional Officer (not Tehsildar). OBC candidates must certify they are not in the "Creamy Layer" per the relevant DoPT format.

Other Important Points

• The Company can cancel or withdraw the recruitment process, in whole or for any post/centre, at any stage without giving a reason.
• The Company sets its own minimum eligibility/cut-off standards for shortlisting and final selection; its decision is final, with no correspondence entertained on this.
• Postings and transfers are entirely at the Company's discretion across its India-wide network; no location preference is binding.
• All official communication goes to the registered email/mobile - the Company is not responsible for a candidate's failure to check these.
• Applications, once submitted, cannot be withdrawn, and fees/service charges are never refunded.
• Ineligibility, false/incomplete information, or suppressed facts discovered at any stage - even after joining - cancels candidature or terminates service, with retrospective effect where applicable.
• Government/Quasi-Government/PSU employees need a No Objection Certificate at interview if shortlisted, and a discharge certificate at joining if selected.
• A candidate with an adverse character/antecedents report is ineligible; such a report surfacing even after selection leads to rejection.
• No request for change of contact number, address, email, or exam/interview centre is entertained after registration.
• Any dispute arising from this recruitment falls under the sole jurisdiction of the courts in Chennai.
• Being called for the exam, interview, or any later stage does not by itself imply selection or an offer of employment.
• A selected candidate's appointment is subject to verification of credentials, satisfactory reference checks, a medical examination, and antecedent verification.
