- Relaxation in the upper age limit will apply to eligible SC, ST, OBC, persons with benchmark disabilities, ex-servicemen and other reserved categories under Himachal Pradesh government rules.

- Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates must produce original educational, category, age and other eligibility certificates.
- Final Merit and Appointment: Final selection will be based on examination performance, eligibility verification and the post-wise recruitment rules.
