Government Exams 2024 — List of Upcoming Govt. Entrance Exams in India

Embibe Content World

Is the prolonged anticipation truly rewarding, or does it serve as an unwitting refuge for India’s countless driven but direction-seeking youth?

Comfort, perks, and the quest for an easy life — yes you guessed it right, that’s what a government job has to offer; the private sector, on the other hand, requires unyielding effort, innovation, and unrelenting commitment to staying at the top of your game.

Government jobs are the millions of youths chasing their dreams. Facing failure multiple times in a row, but again bouncing back.

But why do most young people go after government jobs despite knowing that they will have to experience prolonged anticipation of the reward — if there is any? Well, because it is worth the wait. Also, in the end, hard work pays off — well, in most cases.

But preparing for government exams is NOT like a walk in the park; getting selected for a government job may not be the same as joining a private company. 

Latest News:
The SSC exam calendar 2024-25 has been revised. Check out the upcoming SSC government exams in the table below. Keep an eye on this page for more updates.

Government Exams 2024

While government jobs may offer minimal work pressure and the promise of leisurely holidays in the government sector that is in stark contrast to the frenetic pace of the private sector, it is all imaginable only after going through stiff competition.

…and when we ask youths, they usually have the following answers for choosing a government job.

They want to make a career in the government sector because…

  • Their parents want them to take a government job.
  • They would prefer a government job to a private one.
  • It comes with better matches for the marriage.
  • They cannot find another direction after their studies.

Now, whatever the case may be for you, preparing for government exams can be a fruitful career opportunity for you. However, you must understand which authority conducts government exams, when they do so, the frequency of the same, and what exactly it takes to get the upper hand over the competition.

Upcoming Government Exams 2024

Staying on top of your game — as far as government exams matter — requires staying in the loop. To know which organisation conducts which exams, you must have a comprehensive list of all upcoming government exams organised.

But guess what — you do not even have to do that because, on this page, we have listed all upcoming government exams for you. 

The table below shows the government exams with the actual or tentative exam dates to give you an idea and help you prepare for upcoming government exams strategically.

Upcoming Banking Government Exams 2024-25

In India, it’s a common practice among several banks to release recruitment advertisements within specific time frames. Take SBI, for instance, which consistently announces PO notifications in the month of September every year, although it’s not officially documented as an unchanging tradition.

To help candidates with their government exam goals, we’ve compiled a list for almost all government exams.

The majority of these exams adhere to a two-stage selection process, consisting of the Preliminary (often referred to as Prelims) and Main (commonly known as Mains) phases. In some cases, an interview might be included as well. Expect primarily computer-based tests (CBTs) in lieu of traditional pen-and-paper assessments, as most bank exams follow this digital trend. 

Therefore, aspirants gearing up for these assessments should consider preparing with our complimentary banking exam mock test series on Embibe.

Let’s take a look at the banking government exam calendar:
