LAHD-SSRB Selection Process
The selection process for the LAHD-SSRB posts is designed to identify the most suitable candidates:
This will be an Objective Type Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) examination. The examination will be conducted for Matric Level, 10+2 Level, and Graduate Level posts, with subjects including General Intelligence, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, and English Language. There will be a **negative marking of 0.25 marks** for each wrong answer. The medium of examination will be English.
| Part | Subject | No. of Questions/Marks | Total Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | General Intelligence | 25 | 1 hour & 30 Minutes (2 hours for candidates eligible for scribes) |
| B | General Awareness | 25 | |
| C | Quantitative Aptitude | 25 | |
| D | English Language | 25 |
For posts where prescribed in the essential qualification (e.g., Physical Efficiency Test for Deputy Forester, Wildlife Guard, Forest Guard; Typing Test for Junior Assistant, Steno Typist), a skill test will be conducted. These tests will be **qualifying in nature**, meaning marks obtained will not be added to the final merit list, but passing them is mandatory for selection.
Candidates will be provisionally shortlisted for document verification based on their score and merit in the OMR-based Written Examination. The shortlisting ratio will generally be 1:20 for up to 5 vacancies and 1:10 for more than 5 vacancies (subject to minimum 100 candidates), provided they secure minimum qualifying marks. The Board may call additional candidates at its discretion if vacancies are not filled. Scrutiny of documents will be carried out in consultation with the concerned Indenting Department(s).
The Board will conduct a counseling session for the allocation of vacancies/posts to selected candidates based on their merit, category, and preferences provided by the candidates. Candidates will be selected for only one post based on their final preference. The offer of appointment will be issued by the concerned Department after satisfying all eligibility criteria, including antecedents and character verification.
Important Guidelines for Applicants:
- Candidates must apply **online only** through the LAHD-SSRB's official online application portal. Applications received by any other means will be summarily rejected.
- You must apply for **each category of post separately** and pay the fee for each category of post if you wish to apply for multiple positions.
