Vacancy Details and Category-wise Split
The 10 posts are split by department, and the advert gives no caste-wise category details:
- Campaign (Abhiyan): 6 posts
- Finance: 2 posts
- Other departments: 2 posts
Campaign and other departments suit people with general office experience. Finance needs accounts skills.
Check Your Skills
Everyone needs:
- GCC typing certificates: Marathi and English, at 30 words per minute each
- MS-CIT, along with Word, Excel and Advanced Excel
- A degree. For Finance, it should be a bachelor’s or master’s in accounting, or an MBA.
- 3 years or more of work. For general posts, this means work as an office assistant, clerk or typist. For Finance, it means general or tax accounting.
Finance also needs: Tally ERP 9.0 Prime, and practical GST, TDS, income tax, bank reconciliation and billing work.
What Will You Actually Do?
For general posts, it is everyday office work on a computer: note writing, letters and reports. It relates to recruitment of security guards, training, transfers, promotions and discipline. Finance staff handle bills, e-invoices, cash flow reports, Tally entries, GST and TDS payments, and audit queries.
Selection and Exam Pattern
Here is the order, as per the notice:
- Shortlist: they check your form, and call you by phone or email.
- Computer test at their office: Marathi and English typing on ISM software, plus letter writing, file noting and Word and Excel tasks.
- Interview.
- Merit list: made from your typing, interview and experience.
You will notice there is no written exam pattern beyond this computer test. So your preparation should be hands-on.
How to Practise
These tips are ours, not from MSSC:
- Practise Marathi typing on ISM, since that is the software they use. Your keyboard habits from another tool may not carry over.
- Write a few short official letters in both languages.
- Revise VLOOKUP, pivot tables and basic formulas in Excel.
How to Apply
- Open the application form and fill it in carefully.
- Then email your acknowledgment to empanelment.mssc@gmail.com.
Do not skip the second step. It is part of the process in the advert.
What to Keep Ready
If you are called, carry your bio-data, education and typing certificates, experience letter, MS-CIT and any Tally or Excel certificates, two photos, and a PAN or Aadhaar card.
