Village Administrative Officer — How to prepare

What to do beyond the Group 4 plan

Check the VAO age band against your own Twenty-one to 32 for general candidates; 21 to 42 for reserved communities, with no relaxation for a higher qualification. A candidate eligible for Junior Assistant may not be eligible for the VAO.
Read the district distribution in the addendum The VAO vacancies are listed district by district with category, Tamil-medium and destitute-widow sub-quotas. Your district’s number and your category’s share are the competition.
Rank the VAO first at counselling Posts are allotted by rank and preference. A candidate who ranks Junior Assistant above the VAO and is reached for Junior Assistant is not reached for the VAO.
Then prepare Group 4 Tamil as half the paper, general studies and aptitude as the other half, the blank rule as a reflex — set out on the Group 4 preparation page.
