While this post is being written the Joint Recruitment Cell’s notification link for the ‘examination for recruitment of Executive/legislative/committee/protocol officers and research/reference officers in Lok Sabha secretariat’ is not working. The parliament staff have uploaded a wrong download link and it does not work.
The protocol officers/research officers in the parliament is an important post and many apply for it. It is shameful that the parliament staff are so careless with it! Please note that if you can download it from the link then they may have corrected the error.

Hope they correct it soon. Keep reading the blog on how to prepare for the examination of Protocol Officers/assistants Research, reference officer in the Lok Sabha/Rajya Sabha which is more or less modelled on the UPSC Civil Services Exam pattern. The UPSC Blog will soon publish a post on that.
Update: The parliament staff corrected the link after a week of publishing the notification.
Do you have any idea when is the exam scheduled? the notification did not say anything about it.
Arun, it should happen later. Keep watching their website or phone them.
