The Allahabad High Court has released detailed guidelines regarding the Private Secretary Grade-I Recruitment Examination 2026. The notification explains how the examination stages will be conducted, the number of candidates to be shortlisted, and the preparation of the final merit list.
Candidates applying for the 195 Private Secretary posts should carefully understand the examination rules and recruitment process before appearing for the exam.
Examination Will Be Conducted in Multiple Stages
The recruitment process for the post of Private Secretary Grade-I will be conducted in three separate stages, each held on different dates.
The stages include:
1️⃣ Stage-I Examination (Written Test)
2️⃣ Stage-II Examination (Shorthand Dictation Test)
3️⃣ Stage-III Examination (Interview)
Each stage plays a crucial role in determining the final merit list.
Stage-I Examination Structure
The first stage of the recruitment examination will consist of three parts:
- Part-A – General Studies
- Part-B – Computer Knowledge / Typing Test
- Part-C – Translation Test
These three parts will be conducted in a single shift, with a 15-minute gap between each part.
Typing Speed Evaluation Rule
The required typing speed in English will be calculated based on the number of correctly typed words during the test.
Only accurate words typed by the candidate will be considered while calculating the typing speed.
Exam Submission Process
During the examination:
- The “Submit” button will remain active throughout the entire test duration.
- Candidates can submit the test anytime before the end of the exam by clicking the submit button.
However, once the exam is submitted:
⚠ The candidate cannot leave the examination centre and must remain seated at the allotted desk until permitted.
If the candidate does not submit the exam manually, the test will automatically be submitted when the time expires.
Mandatory Participation in All Stages
Candidates must appear in all parts and stages of the recruitment examination.
If a candidate fails to appear in any stage of the exam, they will not be considered for further selection.
Shortlisting for Stage-II (Shorthand Test)
After Stage-I results are declared:
✔ Ten times the number of vacancies in each category will be shortlisted.
These candidates will be invited to appear for:
✍ Stage-II Examination – Shorthand Dictation Test
The shortlisting will be done based on merit in Stage-I examination marks.
Shortlisting for Stage-III (Interview)
After completion of Stage-II:
✔ Three times the number of vacancies in each category will be shortlisted for the interview.
