The first contract lasts only three months. The Society may extend it based on your performance and integrity, and advanced training will be available.

Interview call letters and all other messages come only by email. Check your inbox and the official website often. Keep the originals of your certificates ready, because you may be asked to show them at the interview.
Two small mistakes can cost you the seat.

Second, applicants must write excellently in English and Malayalam and know MS Office or Open Office thoroughly. If you have a referee from a previous job, it helps to name the superior officer you worked under. Avoid phoning the head office with doubts. Email your questions instead, because the Society replies to queries by email.
