What is Sarkari Exam?

Quick answer: Sarkari Exam is the umbrella term for competitive examinations held by India's central and state governments, including UPSC, SSC, RRB, IBPS, defence forces and state PSCs, to recruit candidates for permanent government jobs (sarkari naukri).

These include recruitment drives by the UPSC, SSC, Railways (RRB), public sector banks (IBPS), defence forces, state public service commissions and thousands of other central and state departments. Every year, lakhs of aspirants across India fill the online form for these exams, chasing the job security, pension and social respect that a sarkari naukri is known for.

SarkariExam.Center tracks new sarkari job notifications, admit cards, answer keys and results from official sources as soon as they're published, and organizes them by exam category, recruiting department and state so you don't have to check dozens of separate government websites every day. Use the tabs below to browse the latest job notifications, upcoming exam dates, declared results and answer keys, or jump straight to your state's recruitment page from the state strip further down this page.

For a first-time aspirant, the sheer number of exams, syllabi and application windows can feel like a lot to track alone. That's really what this page is for: one place to check before you start filling any online form, so you're applying with the right information instead of a forwarded WhatsApp message.

Types of Sarkari Exams in India

Government recruitment in India is broadly organized into a few well-known streams, each with its own eligibility rules, exam pattern and selection process:

Category	Conducted by	Typical eligibility
Civil services (IAS/IPS/IFS)	UPSC	Graduate, 21 to 32 yrs
Staff selection (Group B & C)	SSC	10th/12th/Graduate
Railways	RRB	10th pass to Graduate
Banking	IBPS / SBI	Graduate
Defence	UPSC (NDA/CDS), Indian Army/Navy/Air Force	10+2 to Graduate
Teaching	CTET, KVS, NVS, state boards	B.Ed / D.El.Ed
State PSCs	28 state public service commissions	Varies by state

Most streams run a similar selection process: a written exam (sometimes prelims and mains), followed by a skill test, physical test or interview depending on the post, then a final merit list based on cut-off marks. Vacancies open to 10th pass and 12th pass candidates tend to draw the highest number of applicants, simply because eligibility is broader.
