The Allahabad High Court Review Officer (RO) and Assistant Review Officer (ARO) examination is one of the most prestigious, fast-tracked, and highly competitive recruitment drives in Uttar Pradesh. Functioning directly under the Hon'ble High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, these officers form the elite administrative and legal-clerical backbone of the state's highest judicial institution. The job profile involves reviewing legal briefs, drafting court orders, maintaining judicial records, and assisting honorable judges. It offers a stellar salary (Level-8 for RO and Level-7 for ARO), a highly respected social status, and a virtually static posting in the beautiful cities of Prayagraj (Allahabad) or Lucknow, completely insulating officers from the political transfers common in state civil services.
The most attractive feature of the Allahabad High Court RO/ARO exam is its incredibly streamlined, single-day selection process conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). There is no Preliminary/Mains division and no personal interview. The entire recruitment relies on a single examination session divided into two parts. Part-I is a Computer Based Test (CBT) consisting of 200 objective questions to be solved in 180 minutes (3 hours). The syllabus is vast, heavily emphasizing General English (50 questions), General Knowledge, UP Special GK, and Computer Knowledge.
Crucially, following a mere 15-minute gap, candidates must sit for Part-II: the Computer Knowledge Test (Typing Test) in English. Candidates must type approximately 500 words in 20 minutes (requiring a minimum speed of 25 words per minute) directly on the computer. What makes this exam unique is that there is absolutely no negative marking in the Part-I objective test, and the marks from both Part-I (200 marks) and Part-II (50 marks) are combined to generate the final merit list out of 250 marks. For graduates with excellent English grammar and typing skills, this is the fastest route to a gazetted-equivalent state job.
