What the selection usually looks like

• Public Service Commission exams for Under Secretary (gazetted second class) usually run in stages: a written examination (often a preliminary objective paper first, then the main papers), then an interview for those who pass.
• Technical posts add a paper on the subject of the service, group and sub-group named in the advertisement.

How to prepare

• Start with the general paper: Constitution, governance, current affairs and mental ability. Use our Constitution of Nepal notes, current affairs and free Lok Sewa quizzes.
• Under Secretary papers expect analytical answers on governance, public policy and development: revise Public Management notes, Periodic Plans of Nepal and Budget and LMBIS, and practise writing structured long answers.
• Download the syllabus of your exact service, group and level from the commission and plan your study by its marks distribution.

Application checklist

• Online application through the Commission’s official portal (create your profile early)
• Citizenship certificate, academic certificates and transcripts
• Equivalence certificate for foreign or special degrees
• Inclusion-group proof if you apply under a reserved quota (for example a disability ID card or the required recommendation letter)
• Recent photo and signature in the size the portal asks for; exam fee paid on time

How the selection works

Public Service Commission recruitment is competitive. Most posts have a written examination (an objective first paper and, for many posts, a subjective second paper), then an interview for those who pass. Under the Civil Service Act, 45% of seats are reserved for inclusive groups (women, Adibasi/Janajati, Madhesi, Dalit, persons with disabilities and backward areas) and the rest are open. After the normal deadline, there is usually a 7-day period to apply with a double fee.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Waiting for the double-fee period and then missing it
• Choosing the wrong service, group or level in the online form
• Applying under an inclusive quota without the required document
