The online application window, which opened on December 1st, closes at 11:59 PM tonight. Interested candidates can apply online by visiting the official website of the CGPSC - psc.cg.gov.in.

This year's PCS exam offers a chance to secure one of 246 positions within the state government. These include highly sought-after roles like Deputy Collector (7 posts), District Superintendent of Police (DSP) (21 posts), and Excise Sub-Inspector (ESI) (90 posts). Notably, the 2024 exam reintroduces the DSP position, which was absent in the previous year's recruitment drive.

The CGPSC PCS selection process consists of a preliminary exam, a main exam, and an interview. The preliminary exam is scheduled for February 9th, 2025, and will be held in two sessions - 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The main exam will be conducted over four days, from June 26th to 29th, 2025.

The admit card for the preliminary exam is expected to be released by the CGPSC in the last week of January 2025.

To be eligible for the CGPSC PCS exam, candidates must possess a graduation degree from a recognized university. The age limit for various posts ranges from 21 to 40 years. However, reservation category candidates from Chhattisgarh can apply up to the age of 45 years. It's important to note that the age limit for Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) is stricter, at 21 to 28 years.
