State PSC — Civil Services
Clear your State Public Service Commission exam for Group I/II/III posts — DSP, SDM, commercial tax officer, and more.
1–3 yearsA fixed state government pay scale — and one that genuinely differs by state (each state has its own Pay Commission), so even an accurate figure for one state wouldn't apply to another. Check the specific state's currently notified pay scale for the specific post rather than a blended figure.
Why this path
State-level prestige. Work in your home state. Excellent job security and perks.
