What is Loksewa Aayog?
Established by the constitution, the commission is an independent body. It announces vacancies, sets syllabi, conducts preliminary, written and interview exams, and publishes merit lists on psc.gov.np. It covers posts from Kharidar up to secretary level across ministries, constitutional bodies, banks and schools. For aspirants, clearing Loksewa means a permanent government job with social respect and steady growth.
Loksewa posts and cadres
Government recruitment through Loksewa spans many services. The most popular preparation tracks are:
Kharidar & Naasu
The most applied non-technical posts. Kharidar is the entry level; Nayab Subba (Naasu) is the next step up.
Section Officer
Senior officer rank (Sakha Adhikari) that leads offices and policy work across government.
Shikshak Sewa (TSC)
Teacher Service Commission recruits school teachers through written and interview exams.
Banking Exams
Nepal Rastra Bank, Rastriya Banijya Bank and Nepal Bank hire assistants and officers via Loksewa.
Security & Police
Nepal Police, Armed Police Force and Army selection are conducted under the commission.
GK & IQ Practice
General knowledge and intelligence tests form the first paper for almost every post.
Loksewa exam pattern and syllabus
Most Loksewa exams have three stages. The preliminary (first paper) is an objective MCQ test of general knowledge, IQ, Nepal’s constitution, current affairs and basic arithmetic. The written stage (second and third papers) tests deeper subject knowledge, essay writing and present-day issues. Toppers then face a personal interview. Syllabi are published per post on psc.gov.np, and Scolar lists books matched to each level.
Eligibility and age limits
The upper age limit is 35 years for men and 40 years for women and persons with disability in open categories. Permanent civil servants already in service face no upper age limit. Educational requirements range from SLC or SEE for some technical posts to a bachelor’s degree for officer levels. Every vacancy notice states the exact criteria, so read it before applying.

Is there negative marking in the Loksewa first paper objective test?
Yes. The commission deducts 20 percent of the assigned marks for every incorrect answer in the First Paper Objective (MCQ) examination, so accuracy matters more than guessing.

Most posts follow three stages: a preliminary (first paper) objective test on general knowledge and IQ, a written examination (second and third papers), and a final interview. The written papers test subject depth and present-day issues.
What is the difference between Kharidar, Naasu and Section Officer?
They are ranks in the civil service hierarchy. Kharidar is the entry non-technical post, Nayab Subba (Naasu) is the mid-level post, and Section Officer (Sakha Adhikari) is the senior officer level. Each has its own syllabus and pay scale.
Which Loksewa post should a fresh graduate start with?
Many start with Kharidar or Naasu to enter the service, then prepare for Section Officer later. Your choice depends on your degree, age and the seats open in the current vacancy notice.
How many attempts are allowed in Loksewa?
Attempt limits depend on the post and your category, and each vacancy notice specifies them. Read the official notice carefully before applying so you do not waste an attempt.

Salaries follow the government civil service pay scale and rise with rank and level, from Kharidar through Naasu to Section Officer and above. Exact figures are published in the pay regulations for each position.

Loksewa results are released as PDF notices after each stage (preliminary, written and interview) and the dates vary by post and vacancy. Scolar’s Loksewa result guide tracks the latest notice numbers so you can check your result quickly.
How do I check my Loksewa result by symbol number?
Open the result notice PDF on psc.gov.np or follow Scolar’s Loksewa result guide, search your symbol number in the published list, and see whether you are shortlisted for the next stage. Keep your admit card handy before checking.
