What is the Selection Process for IIM Sirmaur Recruitment 2026?
The selection method is different for senior posts and for junior posts, so read this part carefully. Posts 1 to 5 are Group ‘A’, Hindi Officer is Group ‘B’ and Hindi Translator-cum-typist is Group ‘C’.
Group ‘A’ and Contract Positions
Selection is based on Personal Interview only. However, if the institute receives a large number of applications, it may shortlist candidates through a written test or any other criteria it finds suitable.
Group ‘B’ and ‘C’ Positions
Selection is based on Written Test + Skill Test + Personal Interview, for a total of 100 marks.
- Written Test (50 marks): 50 multiple-choice questions of 1 mark each in 90 minutes — General Knowledge & Current Affairs (10), General English (10), Quantitative Ability and Reasoning (15) and Profession-related questions (15).
- Skill Test (30 marks): 30 minutes covering computer proficiency in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, internet and email drafting, plus noting, drafting skills and making proposals.
- Personal Interview (20 marks): the final stage, where your experience and communication are judged.
- Merit List: candidates are selected in order of merit out of the total 100 marks.
Applications will first be checked by a Scrutiny Committee, and the institute may set higher shortlisting norms than the minimum qualification. If you are already working in a government body or PSU, you must produce a No Objection Certificate (NOC) at the test or interview stage. Brushing up your basics using a good exam syllabus and preparation guide will genuinely help in the written round.
