EPFO Recruitment 2023 Notification Released for Stage-I Recruitment: Check Important Dates and Other Details
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced that Stage-I Recruitment Examinations would be held in the month of august 2023 for the positions of Social Security Assistant (SSA) and Stenographer. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will administer the exams in two shifts.
The SSA test will be held in the morning shift on the 18th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of August 2023, while the Stenographer exam will be held in the morning and afternoon shifts on August 1, 2023. City Intimation Slips for the SSA examination will be accessible beginning in the second week of August 2023, while City Intimation Slips for the Stenographer examination will be available beginning on July 22, 2023. The admit cards for both exams will be available 2-3 days before the tests.
The SSA exam will be a computer-based test (CBT) with 100 multiple-choice questions, each worth one mark. The examination will take 90 minutes to complete. The Stenographer exam will likewise be computer-based, but it will be divided into two parts: a typing test and a dictation test. The typing test will last 10 minutes and will assess the candidate’s typing speed in English. The dictation test will last 15 minutes and will assess the candidate’s ability to accurately transcribe English dictation.
The SSA examination requires a minimum of 60% for the General Category and 55% for the Reserved Categories. The minimum qualifying scores for the Stenographer examination are 50% for the General Category and 45% for the Special Category. The NTA will declare the Stage-I examination results in September 2023. Candidates who pass the Stage I exams will be invited to take the Stage II exam, which will be a descriptive test.
The EPFO 2023 Stage-I Recruitment Examinations for the positions of SSA and Stenographer are an excellent opportunity for those seeking a career in the government sector. The exams are extremely simple, and the compensation scale for these positions is very appealing. So, if you’re interested in these positions, I recommend that you start studying for the exams right now.
