Punjab and Haryana High Court Driver and Frash Selection Process

Driver Selection Process

Selection to the post of Driver is made on the basis of performance in a Practical Test-cum-Interview. The High Court may apply any suitable shortlisting criteria for provisionally allowing candidates to appear, informed via a public notice at the appropriate time. Selection does not confer any right to claim appointment; candidates proposed for appointment first undergo a trial period, with confirmed appointment only after its successful completion.

Frash Selection Process

Candidates for the post of Frash are selected on the basis of performance in an Interview of 50 marks (25 marks for Suitability to the Job, 25 marks for Etiquette/Manners). Candidates equivalent to 4 times (category-wise) the advertised vacancies, in order of merit in the interview, are then called for a qualifying Physical Endurance Test (PET): an 800-metre race, long jump, and high jump. Failing any one event disqualifies a candidate from the next event.

The final list of provisionally selected Frash candidates, as per the number of vacancies advertised across all categories, is prepared from those who qualify the PET, strictly on the basis of their merit in the interview.
