State Government Jobs 2026 — All States PSC, Revenue & Panchayati Raj
State governments recruit through State Public Service Commissions (UPPSC, BPSC, MPPSC, RPSC, MPSC, KPSC, TNPSC, KerPSC, HPSC, OPSC, WBPSC) and Subordinate Services Selection Boards (SSSB, UPSSSC, RSMSSB, MPESB, HSSC, BSSC, OSSC, KEA). Posts range from Deputy Collector and Deputy SP down to the frontline village-level cadres that most portals miss — Talathi (Maharashtra), Gramsevak, Lekhpal (UP), Patwari (Rajasthan / MP / Haryana), Village Accountant (Karnataka), VAO (Tamil Nadu), Panchayat Sachiv (Bihar / UP), Village Level Worker (West Bengal), Kerala PSC LDC, and Zilla Parishad multi-cadre bhartis. These carry Level 2-6 pay in the 7th CPC and are the single largest source of Indian government hiring by post count each year.

Frequently Asked Questions about State Government Jobs
Is the state PCS exam easier than UPSC?
State PCS syllabi overlap heavily with UPSC for the General Studies portion, but each state adds a regional language and state-specific GK paper. Competition is high but the conversion ratio is usually better than UPSC.
Can I apply for any state's PCS exam?
Most state PCS exams require domicile of that state or proficiency in the state language. Check the specific notification — some posts are open to non-domicile candidates with relaxed conditions.
What is the salary of a state Deputy Collector?
Pay level 10 (₹56,100 basic) at the entry grade. Gross monthly: ₹80,000-95,000 depending on the state's allowance structure.
Are state government jobs eligible for central pay commission?
States usually adopt central pay commission recommendations with state-specific modifications — there is typically a 6 to 18 month implementation lag.
