Age Limit

Reserved category candidates of states other than Himachal Pradesh are treated as General (UR) candidates, without reservation or fee concession. Age relaxation, if any, is as per the official notification and the rules of the Himachal Pradesh government.

Application Fee

According to the published information, the examination and processing fee must be paid online only, and no other mode of payment is accepted. The fee amounts for each category are given in the official notification (Advt. No. 14/2026), so candidates should check the notification for the exact fee applicable to them before submitting the form. The fee is non-refundable, and a correction window of four days after the closing date is available on payment of the prescribed fee.

Selection Process

Selection will be made through a written screening test followed by document verification. The written test may be a Computer Based Test (CBT) or an OMR-based test; the OMR format may be preferred where the number of candidates is limited. Candidates shortlisted in the screening test will be called for document verification, after which recommendations and a category-wise waiting panel (valid for one year from the date of recommendation) will follow. Allocation will be on merit-cum-option-cum-availability of posts, with departments and districts allotted in the order of preference given in writing at document verification.

Salary

All 15 posts carry a fixed honorarium of Rs 30,000 per month, payable for 10 months in an academic year. Candidates should note the terms of engagement clearly: this is a purely scheme-based, temporary engagement for a period of five years, not against any sanctioned posts, and it carries no right of regularisation against vacant sanctioned posts of the Education Department.

Exam Pattern

According to the published information, the minimum qualifying marks in the screening test are 45% for the general category and 40% for SC, ST, OBC and Wards of Freedom Fighters. The Aayog may relax the qualifying percentage by up to 5% (to 40% for General and 35% for SC, ST, OBC and WFF) if the number of qualifiers is fewer than the number of posts. Where the CBT is held in multiple shifts, scores will be normalised using the Z-Score method (mean and standard deviation method).
