What is the Selection Process for Zila Panchayat Raigarh Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Ranking by merit marks | Applications are ranked on marks for qualification percentage and experience |
| Computer practical test | Candidates in merit-marks order are called, subject to the 10-times rule below |
| Final selection list | Practical test marks are added to the merit marks |
If applications are more than 10 times the vacancies, 10 candidates per vacancy are called in merit order. A tie is broken by age, and the older candidate gets priority. The final list stays valid for 1 year and is kept as a waiting list. When a post falls vacant later, it is filled from this list in order of merit. The notice does not give a date for the practical test, so keep watching the Zila Panchayat notice board and the district website.
| Post | Marks (out of 100) | Experience Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Programmer | Qualification 70, computer practical 15, Dot Net/Java/MS SQL/Oracle knowledge 5 | Up to 2 years 5, above 2 years 10 |
| Programme Officer | Qualification 70, computer practical 15 | 1-2 years 5, up to 5 years 10, above 5 years 15 |
| Assistant Programmer | Qualification 45, computer practical 40 (minimum 60% needed) | 1-2 years 5, up to 5 years 10, above 5 years 15 |
| Accountant | Higher Secondary 20, qualification 50, computer practical 15 | 1-2 years 5, up to 5 years 10, above 5 years 15 |
Experience counts only if it was in a Government rural development scheme, on at least the same pay scale. The experience certificate must show the office name and address, order number and date, officer name, pay scale and scheme name, along with a bank statement. Without these, no experience marks are given. The 5 marks for Dot Net, Java, MS SQL or Oracle are given only with a valid document.
If your marksheet shows only a grade, you get the average percentage of that grade. Photocopy the back side of the marksheet too and self-attest it. Prepare this carefully, because your rank is built from your marks and papers. A strong percentage and a clean experience certificate decide your rank before any test begins.
