Have a question related to LIC AAO ?
Hello,
Yes, a B.Tech in Civil Engineering passed candidate can apply for the LIC AAO (Assistant Administrative Officer) post, but only for the AAO (Generalist) category.
For AAO (Generalist), candidates from any stream or discipline are eligible as long as they have a Bachelor's degree from a recognized university. So yes, you are eligible.
But if you are looking for specialist posts like AAO (IT), AAO (Chartered Accountant), etc., then you need a specific qualification related to that field.
So, you can apply under the Generalist category.
Hope it helps !

LIC AAO EXAM NOTIFICATION is expected to be out in December 2025 tentatively.
In every lic exam, there is a gap of 3 yrs…if we consider last years pattern we can expect notification this year…
If the notification is released this month then you can expect exam in March-April month because there is always two months in between notification and pre exam date and also the mains exam will be conducted after two months of prelims exams which will happen in August.
If notification comes in right time then this schedule fits the exam otherwise you can use this pattern according to the month of notification.
Hope for the best :)

SBI PO Selection Procedure: Important Points
The candidates should keep in mind the following points related to the SBI PO selection process:
• Biometric Verification: To ensure an error-free and secure selection procedure for SBI PO 2020, the bank may digitally capture the thumb impression of the candidate. This is done to verify the genuineness of the candidates. Any inconsistency in the biometric verification will lead to rejection of the candidature and punitive legal actions. Candidates are thus advised not to apply any kind of external matter like ink, mehandi, chemical etc. on their hands.
• Number of Attempts: The maximum number of chances are fixed for each category. Candidates who have used up all the chances are not eligible to apply. Appearing in Preliminary Exam is not counted as an attempt but appearing in Mains Exam is counted.
