Overview

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.

Exam Pattern

HP 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)

SectionAreaApprox. marks
AHistory, Geography & socio-economic development of Himachal Pradesh30
BCurrent events of national & international importance + everyday science50
CModern History of India (1857 onwards), Indian culture, polity, economy, geography of India, teachings of Mahatma Gandhi40
Total — one General Knowledge paper · 120 questions · 2 hours120

Objective (MCQ) paper with 0.25 negative marking per wrong answer (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

PaperSubjectMax marksDuration
Paper IGeneral Knowledge & Current Affairs1002 hours
Paper IIGeneral English501½ hours
Paper IIIEnglish Essay501½ hours
Paper IVHindi501½ hours
Mains total250
Stage 3Viva-Voce / Personality Test40
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.

Eligibility

HP Naib Tehsildar Eligibility Criteria & Age Limit

Nationality & domicile

The candidate must be a citizen of India. Domicile/bonafide conditions and category reservations apply as specified in each HPPSC notification — read the exact clause for the cycle you are applying in.

Education

A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from a recognised university, in any stream. Knowledge of customs, manners and dialects of Himachal Pradesh is treated as desirable for revenue-side posts.

Age limit

Between 18 and 45 years on the cut-off date in recent notifications, with age relaxation for SC, ST, OBC and other categories as per HP Government norms.

There is no cap on attempts — you can appear in every cycle within the age limit. The wide age window makes NT a strong option for working candidates and for HPAS/Allied aspirants adding a parallel target.

Syllabus

HP Naib Tehsildar Syllabus — stage-wise breakdown

One HPPSC syllabus, three stages. Expand each part below — and practice with our free previous year papers library.

Prelims Section A — Himachal Pradesh (≈30 marks)

History, Geography and socio-economic development of Himachal Pradesh — princely states and freedom struggle in the hills, formation and statehood of HP; rivers, ranges, climate, districts and tribal areas; agriculture, horticulture, hydro-power, tourism, budget and welfare schemes; art, culture, temples, fairs and festivals; HP current affairs.

Small in marks, decisive in cut-offs — and the natural strength of a Shimla-based, Himachal-first academy.

Prelims Section B — Current events & everyday science (≈50 marks)

The heaviest Prelims section: current events of national and international importance — polity, economy, schemes, reports, awards, sports, summits and organisations — plus matters of everyday observation and general science as expected of an educated person who has not made a special study of science. Our free daily current affairs covers this section end to end.

Prelims Section C — India: History, Polity, Economy & more (≈40 marks)

Modern history of India (from 1857 onwards), Indian culture, Indian polity and Constitution, Indian economy, geography of India, and the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi.

Mains Paper I — General Knowledge & Current Affairs (100 marks)

The rank-decider: a descriptive GK paper covering the Prelims universe in written form — Himachal Pradesh, India and current developments — answered in structured, point-rich responses. Our answer-writing programme and GK notes are built specifically around this paper.

Mains Papers II & III — General English + English Essay (50 + 50 marks)

General English: comprehension, précis, usage, vocabulary and questions testing reasoning power and the ability to distinguish the important from the less important. English Essay: a full 50-mark paper on essay writing alone — structure, balance, evidence and expression. Credit goes to concise, effective writing, which is a trainable skill we drill weekly.

Mains Paper IV — Hindi (50 marks)

Translation of an English passage into Hindi, explanation of Hindi passages in prose and poetry, and composition — idioms, corrections and usage (व्याकरण, मुहावरे, वाक्य-शुद्धि). Easy marks for those who practise; a silent disqualifier for those who don't, since you must pass every paper.

Stage 3 — Viva-Voce / Personality Test (40 marks)

A board interview assessing personality, alertness, integrity and suitability for a revenue officer's role — with questions on your background, Himachal's administration and land-revenue system, and current affairs. Our mock interview panels replicate the HPPSC board so nothing feels new on the day.

Career

Naib Tehsildar Post, Role & Salary

Naib Tehsildar is the backbone post of Himachal's revenue administration — the officer citizens actually meet for their land matters.

AspectDetails
Post & classNaib Tehsildar ('A' Class), Class-II — Department of Revenue, HP (recent cycles recruited on regular basis)
What you doLand records & mutations, revenue collection, demarcations and partition cases, jamabandi supervision, natural-calamity relief distribution, election and protocol duties at tehsil/sub-tehsil level
PayAs per the HP Government pay matrix level notified for Naib Tehsildar, plus DA and allowances — see the pay column of the current HPPSC notification
Promotion pathNaib Tehsildar → Tehsildar → District Revenue Officer / senior revenue positions — with Tehsildars eligible for induction into HPAS over a career
Clubbed postsSome cycles recruit Tehsil Welfare Officer (Social Justice & Empowerment Dept) through the same exam

For most aspirants, NT is the fastest route into Himachal's field administration with real authority from day one — and its syllabus overlaps so heavily with HPAS and HP Allied that preparing for them together costs almost nothing extra. That overlap is designed into our courses.

Why Raman Academy

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.

FAQ

Naib Tehsildar coaching — frequently asked questions

Which is the best Naib Tehsildar coaching in Shimla?

Raman Academy in Sanjauli, Shimla is rated 4.9★ on Google and runs a dedicated Naib Tehsildar batch covering all three stages — Prelims, the four-paper Mains and the viva. Being Shimla-based, our teaching treats Himachal-specific GK and descriptive writing as the core of the course. You can judge for yourself with a free demo class before paying anything.

What is the fee for Naib Tehsildar coaching at Raman Academy?

Our NT coaching fees are published openly: ₹25,000 for the Recorded Course, ₹35,000 for the Live Online (Zoom) Course, and ₹45,000 for the Offline Classroom Course in Shimla. All modes include books, test series, answer-writing practice and viva guidance, with one-time and EMI payment options. Discounts are often available — ask our counsellor on WhatsApp.

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.
