- Tehsildar
- Assistant Registrar Co-Operative Societies

The selection process is rigorous and consists of three distinct phases. The Prelims exam serves as a screening test to filter candidates for the Mains. The Mains examination is a written test with detailed papers on subjects pertinent to the administrative roles. Finally, candidates who succeed in the Mains will face a Personal Interview round to assess their overall personality, communication skills, and suitability for a career in civil service. Only those who successfully navigate all three hurdles will secure final appointment.
PPSC has urged all candidates who have passed the Prelims to begin their preparation for the Mains exam without delay. The commission will soon publish the detailed schedule for the PCS Mains examination on its official website. Candidates must regularly check ppsc.gov.in for the latest updates and announcements regarding the exam dates and other important instructions.
