💸 Application Fee

The application fee is non-refundable and online transaction charges are payable extra. Reservation and fee relaxation for SC/ST/BC candidates apply only to candidates holding a valid certificate and domiciled or permanent residents of Punjab, Haryana or U.T. Chandigarh. Candidates from other states are considered under the General Category. The Ex-Servicemen fee relaxation applies to the Ex-Servicemen themselves and not their dependents, except for the specified Frash fee exemption.

🎯 Selection Process

The selection process is different for the Driver and Frash posts. Meeting the eligibility conditions does not automatically guarantee a call for the next stage.

• Driver: Selection is based on performance in a Practical Test-cum-Interview. The High Court may apply suitable shortlisting criteria before allowing candidates to appear.
• Frash: Candidates are first assessed through an Interview of 50 marks, comprising 25 marks for Suitability to the Job and 25 marks for Etiquette/Manners.
• Frash PET: Candidates equivalent to four times the advertised vacancies, category-wise and in order of interview merit, are called for a qualifying Physical Endurance Test.
• The Frash PET consists of an 800-metre race, long jump and high jump. Failure in any one event disqualifies the candidate from proceeding to the next event.
• The final provisional selection list for Frash is prepared from candidates who qualify the PET, strictly according to their interview merit and the number of advertised vacancies.
• For either post, selection does not by itself confer a right to appointment. Candidates proposed for appointment are subject to the conditions specified in the respective notification.
