Government jobs: start from the official site
Real government vacancies are announced by the recruiting body itself, in a notification you can read in full. This page shows where to find them and how to tell a real notice from a fake one. We do not publish dated vacancy lists, because a wrong date costs you an application. We send you to the source instead.
Official places to look
Type the address yourself or use the links below. Check the notice board of each site every week, and read the full notification before you apply.
- Staff Selection Commission (ssc.gov.in) Central government offices: exams such as Combined Graduate Level, steno and clerical posts.
- Union Public Service Commission (upsc.gov.in) Civil Services, defence entrance exams (NDA, CDS), CAPF and engineering services.
- IBPS (ibps.in) Common recruitment for public sector banks: probationary officer, clerk, specialist officer and regional rural banks.
- Railway Recruitment Boards (rrbcdg.gov.in) Employment notices (CEN) for loco pilot, technician, section controller, junior engineer and other railway posts.
- National Career Service (ncs.gov.in) The government's own job-matching portal, where employers and job seekers register.
- Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (rssb.rajasthan.gov.in) Posts in Rajasthan government departments below the state services level.
- Rajasthan Public Service Commission (rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in) Rajasthan state services and senior posts.
Your own state
Every state has a public service commission and often a separate staff selection board. Search for your state's name with “public service commission” or “subordinate services selection board”, and make sure the address you open is the official one. Most government bodies use addresses ending in .gov.in or .nic.in. A few recruiting bodies, such as IBPS, use their own address, so reach them by typing the name yourself and not from a forwarded link.
How to read a notification
- Find the post name, the number of posts, and the last date to apply. Note the last date for fee payment too, which may differ.
- Check the education, age limit and any age relaxation for your category, as written in the notification. Do not rely on a summary on another site.
- Read the selection steps: written exam, skills or physical test, interview, document check.
- Keep your documents ready before the form opens: photo, signature, certificates and ID in the size and format the notification asks for.
- Apply only on the portal named in the notification, and save the application number and the payment receipt.
How to spot a fake notice
- It asks you to pay money to a person, a UPI number or a bank account to “book” a post or to “fix” selection. No official recruitment works this way. Application fees, where they exist, are paid on the official portal.
- It comes only as a forwarded image or a message with no link to the official notification, or it links to a site with a different name, such as a look-alike address.
- It promises a guaranteed job, a government job without an exam, or a result before the exam.
- It asks for your bank details, OTP or card number to “register”.
- The dates, number of posts or name of the department do not match what the official site shows.
If something goes wrong
Do not pay again to “recover” money. Keep screenshots and receipts, call 1930, and report on the national cyber crime portal. Tell your bank at once if you shared card or account details.
- Report cyber crime (cybercrime.gov.in) National portal. The helpline is 1930.
While you prepare
- Practise interview and personality-test style questions with the free interview practice tool.
- Make a clean, one-page resume for private-sector openings in the meantime.
- Compare any private offer with what you know about pay using the offer tools. A real employer never asks for a fee.
