What is the HP Naib Tehsildar exam?
The Naib Tehsildar ('A' Class) Examination is conducted by the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (HPPSC) to recruit Naib Tehsildars — Class-II officers of the HP Revenue Department who run the state's land-revenue machinery at the tehsil and sub-tehsil level. In some cycles, the post of Tehsil Welfare Officer is recruited through the same examination.
Selection has three stages: an objective Prelims (screening test) of 120 marks whose score is not counted, a descriptive Mains of four papers (250 marks) in which you must pass every paper individually, and a viva-voce of 40 marks. Final merit comes from Mains + viva (290 marks). With General English, English Essay and Hindi accounting for 150 of the 250 Mains marks, NT is the most writing-heavy exam in the HPPSC family — which is exactly how we coach it: Himachal-first GK plus disciplined language practice from day one.

Naib Tehsildar Exam Pattern — Prelims, Mains & Viva
Three stages, three different skills. A GK screening filters, a four-paper written exam builds your merit, and a short viva completes it.
Stage 1 — Prelims / Screening Test (objective)
| Section | Area | Approx. marks |
|---|---|---|
| A | History, Geography & socio-economic development of Himachal Pradesh | 30 |
| B | Current events of national & international importance + everyday science | 50 |
| C | Modern History of India (1857 onwards), Indian culture, polity, economy, geography of India, teachings of Mahatma Gandhi | 40 |
| Total — one General Knowledge paper · 120 questions · 2 hours | 120 | |

Negative marking: 0.25 mark per wrong answer, and marking multiple options counts as wrong. Screening only — Prelims marks are not counted in the final merit. Around 20× the number of advertised posts qualify for Mains.
Stage 2 — Mains (descriptive, 4 papers) & Stage 3 — Viva-Voce
| Paper | Subject | Max marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper I | General Knowledge & Current Affairs | 100 | 2 hours |
| Paper II | General English | 50 | 1½ hours |
| Paper III | English Essay | 50 | 1½ hours |
| Paper IV | Hindi | 50 | 1½ hours |
| Mains total | 250 | — | |
| Stage 3 | Viva-Voce / Personality Test | 40 | — |
| Final merit (Mains + Viva) | 290 | — | |
You must pass all four Mains papers individually — failing any one paper disqualifies you regardless of your total. Around 3× the number of posts are called to the viva. Exact marks, durations and qualifying percentages should always be verified against the latest HPPSC notification; we update this page after every official change.

Why Raman Academy is the best Naib Tehsildar coaching institute in Shimla
NT punishes one-dimensional preparation: a GK screening, a four-paper Mains where 150 of 250 marks are language and essay writing, and a viva at the end. We coach all three stages as one system.
Himachal-first content
The 30-mark HP section decides Prelims cut-offs, and HP dominates the descriptive GK paper too. We teach it with the depth only a Shimla-based, Himachal-only academy can — by people who live where the exam is set.
Writing-first strategy
General English, English Essay and Hindi are 150 of your 250 Mains marks — and you must pass each paper. Essay structure, précis, translation and व्याकरण are drilled weekly from the start, not after Prelims.
Board-style mock vivas
The 40-mark viva can reorder the merit list. Our mock panels replicate the HPPSC board — background, revenue administration and current affairs — so the real board feels familiar.
PYQ-based teaching
Every topic is taught with previous-year-question context, so your preparation stays anchored to what HPPSC actually asks — with a free solved PYQ library on our site.
Daily current affairs — free
The 50-mark current events section is the biggest chunk of Prelims. Our daily curated current affairs plus monthly Himachal compilations cover it end to end, free on our site.
Experienced faculty, reachable
Faculty with years of HPPSC teaching experience — present in the classroom, on Zoom and on WhatsApp when you're stuck.

What is the exam pattern of HP Naib Tehsildar?
Three stages. Prelims: one objective General Knowledge paper — 120 questions, 120 marks, 2 hours, 0.25 negative marking — used only for screening, with roughly 20× the posts qualifying for Mains. Mains: four descriptive papers — GK & Current Affairs (100), General English (50), English Essay (50) and Hindi (50) — totalling 250 marks, and you must pass every paper. Viva-voce: 40 marks. Final merit = Mains + viva (290). Verify exact details in the latest HPPSC notification.
Is there an interview in the Naib Tehsildar exam?
Yes — unlike the HP Allied Services exam, Naib Tehsildar has a viva-voce/personality test of 40 marks after Mains, and those marks count in the final merit. Around 3× the number of posts are called to the viva, so it regularly reorders the merit list. Our board-style mock vivas prepare you for it specifically.
What is the eligibility and age limit for Naib Tehsildar?
A Bachelor's degree in any stream from a recognised university, and age between 18 and 45 years on the cut-off date in recent notifications, with category-based relaxations as per HP Government norms. Knowledge of the customs, manners and dialects of Himachal Pradesh is treated as desirable. There is no limit on attempts within the age window.
What does a Naib Tehsildar do, and what is the salary?
A Naib Tehsildar is a Class-II officer of the HP Revenue Department handling land records, mutations, demarcations, revenue collection, calamity relief and election duties at tehsil/sub-tehsil level. Pay follows the HP Government pay matrix level notified for the post, plus DA and allowances — recent cycles recruited on a regular basis. The promotion ladder runs Naib Tehsildar → Tehsildar → senior revenue posts.
What is the difference between Naib Tehsildar and Tehsildar?
Tehsildar heads the tehsil's revenue administration; Naib Tehsildar is the officer rank directly below, often holding independent charge of a sub-tehsil. Direct recruitment through HPPSC happens at the Naib Tehsildar level, and Tehsildar posts are largely filled by promotion from NT — so clearing NT puts you on the Tehsildar track.
Can I prepare for Naib Tehsildar along with HPAS or HP Allied?
Yes — and you should. The GK universe (HP + India + current affairs) overlaps almost entirely, and the writing skills transfer directly. The differences are structural: HPAS adds an optional subject and a 1050-mark merit; Allied has no interview; NT has a 40-mark viva and a dedicated English Essay paper. Our batches are designed so parallel preparation costs almost nothing extra.
Where can I get Naib Tehsildar previous year question papers?
Our free previous-year-papers library at ramanacademy.in has solved papers of HP competitive exams, and our store offers printed solved PYQ compilations with trend analysis for serious aspirants.
Can students from Mandi, Kangra or other districts join without coming to Shimla?
Yes. The Live Online and Recorded courses are built exactly for this — students from Mandi, Kangra, Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Solan, Una, Kullu, Chamba, Sirmaur, Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti attend the same classes as Shimla students, with books and printed tests couriered home and doubt support on Zoom and WhatsApp.
From the 120-mark screening to the viva board — one structured preparation.
Raman Academy, Sanjauli (Shimla) brings everything a Naib Tehsildar aspirant needs — Himachal-first GK, weekly essay, English and Hindi writing with feedback, full test series and board-style mock vivas — into one system. Talk to our counsellor and find the right starting point.
