₹2,00,000 per month
The advertisement treats this as consolidated contractual remuneration rather than a regular Government pay-matrix post.

Shortlisted candidates are called for the further selection stage, including interview. The advertisement also refers to a written examination only if candidates are called for one; it does not publish a confirmed written-test schedule, marks pattern or syllabus for this recruitment.
Candidates should therefore prepare for interview-based technical and managerial assessment while continuing to check the official MbPA recruitment page for any additional test notice.
