Selection Process — How Candidates Will Be Chosen
The selection process for Safai Sewak and Mali is straightforward and is based on an interview. There is no written examination. Because a large number of applications are expected, the High Court may apply a suitable shortlisting criteria, which will be informed to candidates at the right time.
