There is no online form here. You simply reach the venue on 27 October 2026 between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM with your original papers and take a written MCQ test. Since the notification gives no vacancy number or pay, it is smart to be realistic: this is a contract role, so ask about the terms in writing if you are selected. Read the eligibility, age limit and document rules below before you go, because a missing original certificate can end your chances on the spot. GovtJobsAlert.in brings you every detail from the notification.

Do not count your college years as experience. The notification clearly says post-qualification experience, which means work done after you completed the required degree or course. Keep your experience certificates ready to prove each year.
If you hold a commerce and finance qualification, check that your experience is in accounts and finance work, not general office work.
The upper age limit for both posts is 37 years as on 01 October 2026. The same cut-off date is used to count your qualification and post-qualification experience. SC, ST, OBC and PwD candidates get relaxation as per Government of India directives, but the notification does not give the number of years.

The notification does not state any salary or pay for these posts. Please do not rely on figures from unofficial sources. If you have doubts, write to the recruitment team at rbdrecruitment@lifecarehll.com before you travel.
The notification is silent on pay, so we cannot tell you a figure. Note that you must bring your latest salary certificate with break-up, so keep it ready if you are currently employed.
The selection for both posts has a Written Test made of Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs). There is no negative marking for wrong answers, so attempt every question you know. HLL says it may cancel, restrict or modify the selection process, and the Management’s decision is final.
| Stage / Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Written Test Type | MCQ |
| Duration | 30 minutes |
| Maximum Marks | 50 |
| Negative Marking | None |
| Minimum Qualifying Marks | 25% of total marks |
The notification names only this written test as the selection procedure, so treat it as the main hurdle and prepare for it seriously.
A 25% cut-off means you need at least 12.5 out of 50 to qualify. No syllabus given; revise accounts and finance basics, and see our preparation tips for exam-day planning.
You do not fill any form online. Follow these steps and reach early, since reporting closes at 12:00 noon.
| Step | Action |

A simple plan helps. Pack your file the night before, sort documents in the order of the list below, and leave early because Kolkata traffic on V.I.P. Road can be slow. Candidates who are not eligible on qualification or experience will not be allowed to sit the test.
Venue: National English School, V.I.P. Road, Baguiati, Kolkata – 700059.
Bring originals and self-attested copies of proofs of age, qualification, mark sheets, experience certificates, latest salary certificate with break-up, Aadhaar, PAN and recent passport-size photographs. SC/ST/OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates must carry the original community certificate issued by the concerned Revenue Authorities. Failure to produce original certificates will result in disqualification from the selection test. Also remember that canvassing in any form leads to disqualification.
