Selection process

Candidates are first shortlisted on age, educational qualification and experience. An interview follows. If there are many eligible applicants, SCILAL may call candidates for interview in a 1:20 ratio. The ranking basis is years of relevant post-qualification experience for the Senior Secretarial Officer post, and higher marks in the minimum required qualification for the other two posts.

Interview ties are broken by experience (Senior Secretarial Officer) or marks in the ICSI, ICMAI or ICAI qualification (the other posts). If a tie remains, the candidate with the earlier date of birth ranks higher. A waitlist panel will apply if a selected candidate does not join.
