Indiana State Personnel Department

Indiana civil service test guides

The Indiana State Personnel Department manages state employment, with positions listed on the Indiana Career Connect portal.

Indiana state employment is administered by the State Personnel Department (SPD). Most positions are posted on Indiana's official careers site; selection processes vary by agency and classification.

Indiana does not use a centralized written examination system for most state positions. Competitive selection typically involves structured application review and interviews. Some law enforcement positions retain written exams.
