Selection Process
- Written Examination: Candidates will take papers covering General English and General Awareness and Aptitude. General English preparation should include grammar, vocabulary, sentence correction, comprehension, précis writing and correct usage. General Awareness and Aptitude may include current affairs, Indian history, geography, polity, economics, Meghalaya-related knowledge, arithmetic, reasoning and data interpretation. The commonly indicated structure is 100 marks for General English and 150 marks for General Awareness and Aptitude, with candidates advised to confirm the final duration and marking rules from the exam notice.
- Skill or Typing Test: Shortlisted candidates may be asked to demonstrate typing speed, accuracy and basic computer proficiency where prescribed for the LDA post. The commission will separately specify whether this stage is qualifying or carries marks.
- Document Verification: Candidates clearing the required stages will have to produce original educational certificates, age proof, category certificates, identity documents and other records. Final selection will depend on merit, eligibility and successful verification.
Candidates should also check whether negative marking applies before attempting the written examination. Preparing from previous question papers and taking timed mock tests can help improve speed across both language and aptitude sections.
