Allahabad High Court runs a single recruitment examination for Review Officer, Assistant Review Officer, and Computer Assistant, covering 543 posts. All three stages happen on the same day rather than as separate exam sessions, so knowing the exact pattern for each stage matters more here than for a typical multi-day exam.
Exam pattern, stage by stage
| Stage | Type | Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 — Preliminary (General Studies) | 200 MCQ, OMR based | 200 | 3 hours |
| Stage 2 — Mains | Conventional, pen and paper | 150 | 2 hours |
| Stage 3 — Computer Knowledge Test | Typing test, computer based | 50 | 20 minutes |
There’s no negative marking and no minimum qualifying mark in Stage 1. Seven times the number of vacancies in each category move forward to Stage 2 and 3, which run in a single shift with a 20-minute gap between them.
