Government Exams

India's most prestigious competitive examination, the UPSC Civil Services Examination selects candidates for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and 20+ allied Group A and Group B Central Services. The exam tests breadth of knowledge, analytical depth, and decision-making aptitude.

One of India's most popular graduate-level competitive exams, SSC CGL recruits for Group B and Group C posts across central government ministries and departments — including Tax Assistant, Auditor, Inspector of Income Tax, Inspector (Central Excise), and Statistical Investigator.

SSC CHSL recruits candidates for posts that require only a 12th-pass qualification: Lower Division Clerk (LDC), Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA), Postal Assistant (PA), Sorting Assistant (SA), and Data Entry Operator (DEO) across central government ministries and departments.

IBPS PO is the common recruitment exam for Probationary Officer (PO) and Management Trainee (MT) posts across 11 public-sector banks including Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Union Bank of India, and others. It is one of the most competitive banking exams with lakhs of applicants each year.

SBI PO is one of the most coveted banking recruitment exams in India. Unlike IBPS PO, SBI conducts its own independent exam to recruit Probationary Officers directly into the State Bank of India — the country's largest public-sector bank. SBI PO includes a unique Group Exercise (GE) stage not found in IBPS.

RRB NTPC recruits for a wide range of non-technical posts in Indian Railways at Levels 2–6 of the 7th CPC Pay Matrix, including Station Master, Goods Guard, Commercial Apprentice, Traffic Apprentice, Accounts Clerk, and Senior Clerk. It is one of the largest government recruitment drives by volume of applicants.

RRB Group D recruits for Level 1 posts in Indian Railways under the 7th CPC Pay Matrix — including Track Maintainer Grade IV, Helper/Assistant in Engineering/Signal & Telecom/Electrical/Mechanical departments, Porter, and Gateman. It is the largest single recruitment drive in Indian Railways by number of vacancies.

The CDS examination is conducted by UPSC to recruit officers into the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Indian Naval Academy (INA), Air Force Academy (AFA), and Officers Training Academy (OTA). It is the gateway to a commissioned officer career in the Indian Armed Forces for graduate candidates.

The NDA examination recruits class 12 pass candidates for entry into the National Defence Academy (Army, Navy, Air Force wings) and Indian Naval Academy (10+2 Cadet Entry Scheme). Successful candidates undergo 3-year joint service training at NDA, Khadakwasla, followed by service-specific academies. It is one of the youngest entry points into commissioned officer service.

CTET is the eligibility test for teachers in central government schools (Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, Tibetan schools, etc.). It is NOT a recruitment exam — passing CTET qualifies a candidate to apply for teaching posts; the actual appointment is done by individual schools and bodies. Paper I is for Classes I–V (Primary) and Paper II is for Classes VI–VIII (Elementary).
