Timelines on the board’s other exams
The useful question is not when a result is promised, because none is, but whether the board is moving at
all. It is, which is why the position on this one exam stands out. Every date below was read from the board’s
own notice list on 12.09.2026.
| Recruitment on the same board | Where it has reached |
|---|---|
| Warder and Matron, Advt 08/2026 | Exam 26.07.2026, final answer key 24.08.2026, no result |
| Assistant District Attorney, Advt 09/2026 | Exam 02.08.2026, a week after the Warder paper. Final answer key, written result and counselling notice are all out, with counselling held on 14 and 15.09.2026 |
| Line Superintendent, Advt 11/2026 | Exam 19.07.2026, final key and result published in August, counselling held 26.08.2026 and a further sitting notified for absent candidates |
| Stenotypist, Advt 14/2025 | Shorthand test 28.06 to 03.07.2026, result published in September, counselling on 14 and 15.09.2026 |
| What this means | On the board’s recent pattern the result follows the final answer key within weeks, and one exam held later than this one has already finished counselling. No date has been notified for Warder and Matron, so treat any circulating date as unofficial |
