GADVASU Non-Teaching Selection Process 2026
The selection process isn’t identical for every post — it depends on which category you’re applying under.
For Junior Engineer (Civil & Electrical), Veterinary Inspector, and Agriculture Sub-Inspector:
- Punjabi Language Test (Matric Level) — Qualifying only; minimum 50% marks needed; 50 marks; 60 minutes; no negative marking.
- Main Examination — Part A covers General Knowledge, Punjab History & Culture, Logical Reasoning, Punjabi, English and ICT (30 marks); Part B covers your Core Subject (70 marks). You need at least 40% in each part separately. There’s a 0.25-mark penalty for every wrong answer, and you get 100 minutes.
- Merit Preparation — 80% weightage to your Main Exam score, 20% to relevant experience.
- Document Verification.
For Driver:
- Punjabi Language Test (same as above)
- Main Examination (same Part A/Part B pattern)
- Driving Proficiency Test — Qualifying; minimum 50% marks; includes practical driving plus a parking and reversing test
- Merit Preparation (80% Main Exam + 20% Experience)
- Document Verification
For Chowkidar and Animal Attendant:
- Punjabi Language Test (same as above)
- Main Examination — A single 80-mark combined paper (General Knowledge, Punjab History & Culture, Logical Reasoning, Punjabi, English, ICT); minimum 40% required; 0.25-mark negative marking; 80 minutes.

- Merit Preparation (80% Main Exam + 20% Experience)

💡 Pro Tip: In case candidates end up tied on merit, GADVASU ranks the older candidate higher first, then the one with higher Main Exam marks, and finally the one with a higher Matriculation percentage.
Experience Weightage — How the Extra 20 Marks Work
Relevant, government-certified work experience can boost your merit score by up to 20 marks — but only if it’s in a directly related field (for example, Chowkidar experience counts if you’ve worked in Security/Police/Paramilitary/Armed Forces) and only if it was with a State/Central Government body, Board, Corporation, or University.
| Experience Duration | Marks Awarded (Max. 20) |
|---|---|
| 10 years or more | 20 |
| 9 years to less than 10 years | 18 |
| 8 years to less than 9 years | 16 |
| 7 years to less than 8 years | 14 |
| 6 years to less than 7 years | 12 |
| 5 years to less than 6 years | 10 |
| 4 years to less than 5 years | 8 |
