What Happens After Document Verification - Next Steps
Candidates who clear the document verification stage will move on to the personal interview round. Here is what the overall selection pipeline looks like after DV.
- Step 1 - Application Scrutiny (DV): Candidates upload documents online. GPSC verifies eligibility against recruitment rules, advertisement requirements, age, qualifications, and experience.
- Step 2 - Personal Interview (Face-to-Face Interview): Candidates who pass document verification are called for a personal interview. The shortlist for interviews will be published on the GPSC notice board after scrutiny is complete.
