Selection process
The selection process for LIC AAO and AE recruitment will be conducted in four stages: Preliminary Exam, Mains Exam, Interview, and Medical Examination.
It is important to note that the Prelims marks will not be considered in the final merit list, and the English language test is only qualifying in nature, meaning its scores will not be counted for ranking.
Additionally, there will be no negative marking in either the Prelims or the Mains examination, giving candidates an added advantage while attempting the papers.
Exam pattern
The LIC AAO/AE Prelims exam will be conducted for a duration of 1 hour, consisting of 100 questions that carry a total of 70 marks.
The paper will have three sections: Reasoning Ability (35 questions, 35 marks), Quantitative Aptitude (35 questions, 35 marks), and English Language (30 questions, 30 marks).
While the English section is qualifying only and its marks will not be counted for ranking, candidates must secure minimum qualifying marks: 9 for SC/ST/PwBD and 10 for others. For the other two sections, the qualifying marks are 16 for SC/ST/PwBD and 18 for others. Each section will have a dedicated time of 20 minutes.
