Current — Category-I
Key points:
This drive spans two separate recruitment streams. Notification 429/2026 fills backlog and current vacancies for Typist Grade-III, Peon/Attender, Driver, and Process Server — a mix of pending reserved-category backlog posts and fresh current-year vacancies.
Notification 428/2026 is a more straightforward direct (Mool Vrundadhi) recruitment, almost entirely for Peon/Guard (Javana) posts, which together with its 7 Driver vacancies forms the bulk of this year’s openings.
For candidates with only an SSLC pass, the Peon/Guard (Javana) and Driver categories — together accounting for 96 of the 110 vacancies — represent the most accessible entry point, while Typist Grade-III and Peon/Attender additionally require Senior Grade typing/shorthand qualifications from the Public Education Department.
