FAQ
Quick answers
Is every ZP paper the same?
No. District notices differ. Practise the common Marathi + GK + arithmetic core, then add that district’s syllabus.
Is Gram Sevak the same as Talathi?
No. Talathi is a revenue village-record post. Gram Sevak is a rural development / ZP track. Open the guide that matches your form.
Do I need a health certificate?
Only for health-worker and allied posts listed in that notice. Clerk / Gram Sevak usually follow education rules only.
Where do I apply?
