UPSC Labour Enforcement Officer exam - Eligibility
The eligibility for the UPSC Labour Enforcement Officer (LEO) exam is divided into 2 parts – Essential Qualifications and Desirable Qualifications. Let us understand them one by one.
1. Essential Qualification
Essential Qualifications are nothing but your educational qualification. It has 2 mandatory requirements:
Requirement No 1: Degree in any discipline with Commerce or Economics or Sociology or Social Work as one of the subjects from a recognized University or Institute.
Requirement No 2: Diploma in Law or Labour Relations or Labour Welfare or Labour Laws or Industrial Relations or Sociology or Commerce or Social Work or Diploma in Welfare Business Administration or Personnel Management from a recognized University or Institute.
Note that both requirements are mandatory. Having either one of them is not sufficient.
Requirement No 1
Any Graduate degree whether B.Tech, BA, B.Com, BSc or B.Design is an eligible degree, but with one condition. Your degree must have any one of these 4 subjects, in any semester or any year – Commerce, Economics, Sociology, or Social Work. This could be just one subject in one semester. That will make you eligible. But it must be one of 4 subjects.
Requirement No 2
You also need 1-year Diploma. This has to be Post Graduate Diploma. The UPSC Labour Enforcement Officer notification also specifies the fields of this Diploma. It can be in Law, Labour Relations, Labour Welfare, Labour Laws, Industrial Relations, Sociology, Commerce, Social Work, Welfare Business Administration, or Personnel Management.
If you have Diploma in HRM in place of Personnel Management, it will work.
If you do not have Diploma, but you have Degree in any of these 10 subjects, you are eligible. But it must be Post-Graduate degree (PG).
If you have LLB or LLM, it will also meet the need for the diploma.
What if I am in the Final Year?
What about those, who are in their Final Year but with the requisite essential qualifications? You are NOT eligible. All qualifications must be completed by the last date of the application i.e. 29 Sep 2022. Thus, you must have finished your Graduation and PG/Diploma on or before 29th September 2022.
We understand that some of you are in the “grey area”. For example, you have qualifications not in ‘economics’ but ‘industrial economics’ or ”agricultural economics’. Are you eligible? For all such cases, you may contact our team at Human Peritus through Phone 971778110 or WhatsApp chat (blue button on bottom left, if you are using a mobile). We’ll assist you with whatever best we understand.
2. Desirable Qualification
Desirable Qualification is 1 Year of experience in Labour Law or Labour Welfare or Labour Relations or Personnel Management in an Industrial Organization or a Government Establishment.
Note that, this is only desirable qualification and not a mandatory one. If you do not have it, do not worry.

1. Although ‘Organizational Behaviour’ is not explicitly mentioned in the syllabus, but it is part of HRM. You have to include this.
2. Do not study 4 new labour codes. Stick to older labour laws only. But you should have high level overview of labour codes. For example, which Act has been subsumed into which labour code?
3. Do not bother about remembering section numbers of Acts.
4. Just focus on Acts, no need to remember ‘Rules’.
5. Make sure to remember chapters and parts of Acts.
6. Headlines of Schedules (with every act) are also MUST.

- Industrial Employment Standing Order Act 1946
- Inter state Migrant Workmen Act 1979
- Maternity Benefit Act 1961
- High level overview of New Labour Codes
8. The current affairs are quite static in nature. The difficulty level is not like Civil Services Prelims. It is easier than that. Focus on remembering fact and not analysis of events.

Conceptual Learning
Our Live Classes are not just 30,000 feet overview, but with detailed conceptual understanding spanning over 200 hours. Check out some of recorded classes to understand how we teach. (videos are given in the middle of this page).
Coverage of Syllabus
We ensure 100% coverage of Syllabus. With Human Peritus course, you need not touch any other book, not even previous years’ papers. Not even required current affairs. Nothing else. You can depend completely on us.
Smart Preparation
While on the one hand, we ensure 100% coverage and confidence of having more than 85-90% questions in the exam, on the other hand, we also ensure that you study only what is required for the exam. For instance, although you will study the Factories Act in only 14 pages in our booklet, still will have the confidence of facing any question in the exam, as if you have studied 74 pages of the published act.
Success Stories
Thousands of students have realized their dream with Human Peritus. Check out video experiences of hundreds of such students by Clicking Here.
Regular Updates
After every exam, we analyze, how many questions came from our course. Then we update our course accordingly (and this cycle continues with each exam). By doing it over the years, we have reached a stage, where consistently more than 85-90% of questions are from our course. In 2017 exam of UPSC, out of 120 questions, more than 100 questions were from the course of Human Peritus. Check out Nov 2017 Exam Analysis, where we have mapped every question to its source in Human Peritus Study Material.
Online Question Bank
One of the key enablers to get you success is our Online Question Bank. Each of these 7000 questions is with not only answer but with a detailed explanation. It is Super Important to go through detailed explanation of every question (objective is not to assess you but to make you learn concept). This is the reason, why we repeatedly keep emphasizing that only reading our printed booklets is not sufficient. You MUST go through these 7000 questions.
These 7000 questions are further divided into around 100-125 subtopics. This gives you the flexibility to focus on only those areas, where you feel the need.
Since the inception of Human Peritus in 2011, our preparation approach has been quite traditional. First, we do a lot of research in analyzing the “boundary” of the syllabus by looking at PYQ’s. Then within that boundary, we provide “maximum possible coverage” of the concepts. What we do not do, is to try to find out what is more important or less important within that boundary. We study everything like a dedicated student. We make things “concise” but we don’t “leave out” things.
Firstly
We believe that nobody can guess important questions in objective exams (yes, we can identify some of the most repeating ones; but is that sufficient for cracking UPSC exam?….NO). The only way to secure prestigious job of UPSC is to cover the full syllabus within the boundary >> Then practice a lot of questions from that topic >> and you are ready for that topic. So, if you are enrolling with Human Peritus with the hope that we know important questions, which will come in the exam, DO NOT JOIN US.
Secondly
Like all the good things in the world, preparation takes time. We do not have any magical formula to cover everything in 1 month. We make a plan >> we follow the plan >> we expect you to do what we advise you >> and you are ready for the exam. If you do not have the time and patience of at least 3-4 months, DO NOT JOIN US.
Thirdly
Our Faculty members will only “teach” in class. Very less time is spent on “Gyan” or “motivation” or “making you like videos”. We understand that you are grown-up Post-Graduate students and we treat you like that. Our only objective is to give you the confidence of 100% coverage of the syllabus and teachers spend time on that only. If you are expecting classes to be full of “stand-up comedy”, DO NOT JOIN US.
Finally
Our approach has worked well in previous RT exams of UPSC like ALC, LEO, ESIC DD, EPFO, Admin Officer etc. And we are pretty confident that this “4 Step preparation plan” will work in coming UPSC Labour Enforcement Officer exam as well.
We have designed this course for UPSC Labour Enforcement Officer after a detailed analysis of all Recruitment exams (RTs) of UPSC. For example, the syllabus has the keyword “General Mental Ability”. We identified all other exams of UPSC, which have this keyword in their syllabus. Then we looked at every question of that paper. Only then, we decided what should be the boundary of the syllabus of the “General Mental Ability”.
We strongly advise you to check out this topic wise analysis at this link
You should be looking for these 5 points, while evaluating any institute:
1. Teaching or Gyan
Check if you are getting just 30,000 feet overview or detailed conceptual learning. If you have attended a 2-hour class on “Motivation Theories”, do you have the confidence to tackle every possible question on this topic? Also, check how much time is spent on actual teaching and how much on “motivating you to like videos” or “promoting their courses”.
2. Mentorship
Are you joining a team, which can guide you throughout your preparation journey? Give a call and ask for a discussion with a faculty member. Ask that faculty some real questions, like:
- Is XYZ Act part of the syllabus?
- Do I have to study new labour codes?
- What has been the trend of cut-offs?
- Which topics can I ignore or focus on more?
- Which topics in the syllabus have relevance to current affairs?
Assess the quality of telephonic discussion. See if you are getting connected to a “sales guy” or an “academic mentor and guide”.
3. Interaction in Class
Check if students are able to ask doubts in the class by speaking/discussing or you have been given just a chat option. Attend a few demo classes to understand this.
4. Study Material
No exam can be cleared by just listening to what the teacher says. After every class, it is mandatory to read that topic from the books. Check whether you are getting study material covering all the keywords of the syllabus. Most of the time, you will be getting random PDF files or pdf of class notes. Check if you are getting this confidence that you don’t have to look at any other book.
5. Previous Results
Check previous results of the institute.
From a coverage point of view, the Study Material will give you 100% coverage, but the probability of selection is much higher (4 times) in video classes program, because of the following reasons:
(i) a Large number of topics require conceptual clarity, which will need a teacher to make it easier, like Labour Laws, OB Theories, Numerical Aptitude.
(iii) If it takes x hours to prepare without a teacher, then it will take only 0.4x hours with a teacher. Since time for UPSC LEO exam is limited, you need someone to make it quicker for you.
(iv) You get into discipline because now someone else is pushing you towards completion of the syllabus (this is the biggest contributor)
(v) While teaching, the teacher explains how questions are framed from a given topic.
Our analysis says that the Current Affairs for UPSC LEO exam is quite static and theoretical. There is no need to teach it, as there is nothing conceptual. We expect that you should be able to understand and memorize by reading our printed booklets. Since the current affairs are factual in nature, the teacher does not add any value by reading that out in a class. You can read it yourself. In fact if you can cover 10 issues by self reading in X time, the teacher will be able to cover just 2-3 issues in X time.
Please note that, there is no need to refer newspapers or any other source for current affairs. You can completely depend upon us. Our booklets are sufficient. However, it is advisable to keep reading at least 1 newspaper, as it helps you in interview as well.
Although, our team, carefully packs the content, before despatch, sometimes, we may also commit mistakes.
If you find that, any booklet is missing or there are two booklets with same topic, there is no need to worry. Please write an email to us. Immediately, we will send you another courier with missing booklets.
Please note that, there is no need to panic. Our relationship with you does not end with despatch of courier. Our team will continuously assist you till exam time by (a) updating new content on online platform (b) handling your queries on any syllabus topic (c) we also do few free preparation tips classes in last 2 months of exam.
We have assisted students for many recruitment exams of UPSC like UPSC ALC, EPFO, Admin officers and have good experience with UPSC Recruitment exams. After analyzing at least 17-18 recruitment exams of UPSC, we can see that, there has not been even a single exam which has been conducted in 3-4 months, from last date of application. The minimum time is 5 months and average time is 8-9 months. You might look at some examples:
UPSC ALC- Last date of application: Dec 2016, Date of exam: Nov 2017
UPSC LEO- Last date of application: Mar 2017, Date of exam: Nov 2017
Sr Admin Officer DRDO- Last date of application: Sep 2015, Date of exam: May 2016
Sr Admin Officer DRDO- Last date of application: Dec 2014, Date of exam: May 2015
Admin Officer BRO- Last date of application: Sep 2018, Date of exam: Aug 2019
Admin Officer GSI- Last date of application: Apr 2018, Date of exam: Sep 2019
UPSC APFC – Last date of application: June 2015, Date of exam: Jan 2016
Considering the availability of RT schedule of UPSC and previous history, our best guess is that this exam will not be held before Feb-March 2023. You should be getting preparation time of “at least” 5-6 months.
