Why You Should Apply

This is one of the largest Administrative Officer recruitment drives in the public sector insurance space this year, offering 225 permanent posts with a strong starting gross salary of around Rs 1,10,000/month at metro centres, along with standard PSU benefits like NPS, gratuity, and medical coverage.

Preparation Tips

• Apply only for one discipline – Generalist or Hindi Officer – since applying for or appearing in both leads to cancellation of candidature.
• Double-check your degree percentage against the 60%/55% cutoff before applying, especially if your marks are close to the boundary (59.99% is treated as below 60%).
• Prepare for all three sections of the Tier I Preliminary Examination within the 1-hour, 100-mark format, since qualifying here is the gateway to Tier II.
• Keep your category, EWS, or PwBD certificates ready in the exact prescribed government format, since incorrect certification is a common cause for rejection at later stages.
