NOTE: Sometimes, the Staff Selection Commission also holds
similar type of examination for recruitment to the posts of Junior Hindi
Translators in the Subordinate Offices of Government of India located all over
the country. However there is some difference in scale of pay as well as other
eligibility conditions, particularly the educational qualifications though the
Scheme of Examination for this Examination is almost similar. Thus the
applicants should not get confused and must go through the Notice of
Examination issued by the Commission very carefully.
