Step 4 – Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates undergo verification of original certificates related to age, qualification, experience, and category.

Detailed information on the selection procedure, shortlisting criteria, syllabus, and weightage will be announced separately on the CSU website (www.sanskrit.nic.in).
