- The required engineering branch may vary between SDO and SDE posts and the department concerned.
- Applicants must satisfy any subject, registration, experience or language requirements prescribed in the original advertisement.
- Candidates appearing for the interview must carry proof of qualification, including degree certificates and semester-wise or consolidated mark sheets.
Age Limit

- Fee amounts vary by category and should be checked in the detailed recruitment advertisement.
- No separate interview fee should be paid unless PPSC issues a specific official notice.

Selection Process
- Written Competitive Examination: Eligible applicants are assessed through the recruitment examination conducted for the notified SDO and SDE posts.
- Interview: Candidates shortlisted on the basis of the applicable examination criteria are called for an interview at the date, time and venue listed in the schedule.
- Document Verification and Final Selection: Original certificates are examined before the final merit list or appointment recommendation is prepared, subject to eligibility and reservation rules.
Candidates should note that being called for an interview does not by itself guarantee selection. Final eligibility remains subject to verification of qualifications, category, age and other claims made in the application.
