The Mizoram Public Service Commission has formulated

Guidelines for (Conduct of Examination) 2003 in consonance
with the Examination System followed by Union Public Service
Commission and other State Public Service Commissions in the
country. As per these guidelines, Written Competitive
Examinations and Personal Interviews were conducted only for
recruitment of Organized Services having their own Competitive
Examination Regulations while Recruitment of all other Services
were done through Screening Test and Personal Interview. But
Screening Test Marks were counted only for eligibility for
Interview and Final Selection of the Candidates was determined
by Personal Interview Marks.
The Guidelines for (Conduct of Examination) 2003 was
revised and a new Guideline was issued on 23.1.2007 by
changing the Examination System from Screening to General
Competitive Examination and Technical Competitive Examination
System for Direct Recruitment of all Services other than those
Organized Services. Personal Interview carries 12.5% marks
of the Written Competitive Examinations as per the Supreme Court
direction.
Again, due to the emergence of New Concept in the
Examination System and procurement of Optical Mark Reader
(OMR) by the Commission, the Commission has revised the
Guidelines issued in 2007 and introduced Multiple Choice
Question System (Objective Type Question) for all Written
Competitive Examination w.e.f. 15.5.2009 and subsequently
introduced Combined Services General Competitive Examinations
and Combined Services Technical Competitive Examinations for

procedure laid down by the Central as well as
the State Government to the Commission for
fixing of interview date and appointment of
expert. And at the same time the bio-data of the
candidates as well as their academic grade will
 31

have to be prepared. If the Commission feels

the need for group discussion or resume writing
it will have to be done by the candidates.
The number of candidates that can be called for an interview will be
as follows:
No. of vacancy No. of candidates to be called for interview
1 post 5 candidates
2 posts 2+5=7
3 posts 3+6=9
4 posts 4 + 7 = 11
5 posts 5 + 8 = 13
6 posts 6 + 9 = 15
7 posts 7 + 10 = 17
8 posts 8 + 10 = 18
9 posts 9 + 10 = 19
10 posts 10 + 10 = 20

Interview call will be made purely on the merit

Recommendation shall be made in order of merit
for the number of vacancies available.
 32

In cases where the number of applicants for a

post or posts is less than the numbers of
candidates to be called for interview, recruitment
would be done by means of Personal Interview
only, and it will carry a maximum marks of 100.
In this kind of Direct Recruitment the
Commission will have the authority to appoint a
Technical Expert to assess the candidates on their
field of expertise. This will also hold good in case
of Competitive examinations like MCS, MPS
etc where the candidates have the option of
choosing the subject of their choice. The
Commision has the authority to invite a person
of high integrity with experienced retired or
otherwise to take part in the interview to asses
the candidates. However, if the number of
applicants for a post is more than the number of
candidates to be called for interview the
Commission will conduct a written examination
followed by personal interview.
The written marks obtained by the candidates
will be kept in confidential bag by the
Confidential Section until the Interview is over.
After the conclusion of interview the Comission
will publish a final merit list based on the
perfomance of the candidates in the written
examinations and personal interview and their
sutabillity for the post. In case of candidates
securing equal marks in the final merit list, their
merit position will be determined giving
weightage to the older candidate on the basis of
their date of birth. Out of the merit list prepared
 33

the Commission will recommend candidates

against the vacant posts in order of merit for
appointment. However, if the candidates selected
are more than the post can hold they will have
to be put on a reserved panel. This panel list
will hold only in case of the decline of
appointment, resignation or death of a candidate
for the post they are recommended. The validity
of the reserved panel will be 1 year. In any case
it should cease to be in force on the expiry of a
panel of 1 year & 6 months or when a fresh
panel is prepared, whichever is earlier.
Recommendation for a post from the reserved
panel will have to be accompanied by an
application and justification for appointment from
the concerned department.
The final result declared by the Commission will
be displayed on the notice board of the
Commission clearly showing the candidate’s
name, father’s name and their adresses. The same
will be given to electronic as well as print media
for the speedy spread of the result.
The answer books of the selected candidates
will be kept ready for verification if the
Commission considers it necessary.

his/her marksheet not less than fifiteen days from
the publication of the final result with a payment
of Rs.50/- accompanied by a formal application
and Admit Card to the Controller. In case of
