Physical Standards
Not applicable in terms of physical fitness standards.

| Category | Remuneration (Rs.) |
|---|---|
| Junior Programmer | Rs. 24,100/- per month |
This is a Job Work Basis engagement, meaning placement occurs on receipt of confirmed requirement from an indenting organization, rather than as a direct regular government appointment.
Selection Process
The selection process for Junior Programmer (under the broader Computer Professionals panel updation process) consists of two stages:
- 1st Test — Domain Knowledge Test: A Computer Based Test (MCQs) covering various computer topics and domain-specific questions relevant to the post applied for. This test's validity is 1 year from the date of notifying the posts/advertisement.
- Training and 2nd Test — Practical/Project Test: Candidates who clear the 1st test and are found eligible after document scrutiny must undergo approximately 1 month (50 hours approx.) of training at IDDC, Ambala, and/or HMSDC, Gurugram, before appearing for the 2nd test, which is a Practical/Project Test (Model-View-Controller based for relevant categories).
Merit for panel updation is prepared giving equal weightage to the 1st Domain Knowledge Test and the 2nd Practical Test. A separate panel is made for each reserved category among candidates who clear the 2nd test, and deployment happens as per the reservation roster. Merely clearing the test and being empanelled does not guarantee placement — candidates are recommended only upon receipt of confirmed requirement from the indenting organization. A candidate empanelled for any post cannot reapply for the same for at least 6 months.
Exam Pattern & Syllabus
The 1st test (Domain Knowledge Test) is a Computer Based Test with Multiple Choice Questions covering various computer topics and domain-specific content related to the applied post. The 2nd test is a Practical/Project Test using MVC (Model-View-Controller) methodology for relevant categories such as Programmers, Junior Software Developers, and System Analysts. Detailed subject-wise syllabus, number of questions, and marking scheme are not mentioned in the notification.
