scrutinized for eligibility. Eligible candidates are called for
a written examination with call letters being sent a month in
advance of the date of the examination. Examinations are
generally held in Allahabad; if no of candidates is very large
exam may be held at Lucknow or other locations as necessary.

If number of
candidates is large, the candidates who qualify in the
preliminary exam are called for the main written exam, and the
merit list is prepared based entirely upon the result of the
main exam. In most categories of jobs, there is no interview
after the written examination. For a very few specific
categories there is a viva after the written exam, while for
certain other categories there is a skill test. For categories
related to operational safety, there will be a psychological
test.
