 Important Update about LIC AAO Exam 2013

Friends, there is a Modification in the Recruitment Notification of LIC AAO 2013. Here is the new notification published by Life Insurance Corporation of India. 

The following modification to Paragraph 9 of the Recruitment Notification which deals with passing in each section of the Tests separately is hereby notified: 

“The marks obtained in Section 5-English Language shall not be counted for the purpose of ranking.”

 All other Terms and Conditions of the Notification published in the Employment News dated 09/03/2013 along with modification as notifie d earlier shall remain unaltered.

Here is the Old Notification  (Check the paragraph numbered 9)

Here is the Modified Notification

What is this Modification ?
Nothing. You have to qualify in all the papers. But your English score wont help you in selection. I mean, if the cutoff for English is  9 Marks (for example) it wont make any difference even if you get 12 or 28.

What should I do now?
Just concentrate on other areas more. Don't try to solve all questions in English. Just getting pass marks is enough for this section.


All the best.
