Six of the seven posts are Garo-reserved
The Stenographer, Library Assistant and all four Driver posts under Rect/52 are marked Garo. The Legal Assistant under Rect/54 is Unreserved.
Do not mix the two advertisements
Rect/52 and Rect/54 were issued on the same date but cover different posts and reservation structures.
Driver experience is counted after the required licence
The requirement is three years of driving experience after obtaining the prescribed licence.
Skill standards matter for Stenographer
Graduation alone is not sufficient; the prescribed stenography diploma and speeds are required.
