1. Do I have to pay any fee to apply for a job at SoftMaji?
No. SoftMaji InfoTech Private Limited does not charge any recruitment fee, job application fee, interview fee, joining fee, security deposit, or employment fee.
However, candidates are required to complete a mandatory skill assessment before applying for positions where a skill test is specified.
The assessment is conducted through our separate skill assessment platform, Certify by SoftMaji, and the standard assessment fee is currently ₹49.
This ₹49 is an assessment and certification fee, not a job application or recruitment fee.
2. Why is there a ₹49 assessment fee?
The assessment is designed to verify whether a candidate has the basic knowledge required for the position before their application is reviewed.
The assessment platform provides:
- Secure online assessment
- Skill-specific questions
- Automated evaluation
- Passing-score verification
- Digital certificate after passing
- Unique certificate ID
- Online certificate verification
- Permanent online certificate availability
The current standard assessment fee on Certify is ₹49 per assessment.
The fee helps cover the operational cost of running and maintaining the assessment and certificate system.
3. Is the ₹49 fee paid to SoftMaji for getting a job?
No.
The ₹49 payment is for the skill assessment/certification service provided through Certify.
Payment of the assessment fee does not:
- Guarantee an interview
- Guarantee shortlisting
- Guarantee employment
- Guarantee a salary
- Guarantee selection
Recruitment decisions are made separately based on the candidate’s assessment result, resume, skills, experience, interview performance, practical ability, and the requirements of the position.
4. Why is the skill assessment mandatory?
We receive applications from candidates with different levels of education, experience, and practical knowledge.
A skill assessment gives us an additional objective way to check whether a candidate has knowledge relevant to the position before moving forward with the recruitment process.
For example, a candidate applying for a React.js position may first need to complete a relevant React.js assessment.
The purpose is to reduce unnecessary screening and help ensure that candidates applying for technical positions have a basic understanding of the required subject.
5. Do I have to take the assessment before submitting my job application?
Yes, when the job listing requires a skill assessment.

7. Final Selection

6. What happens if I fail the assessment?
Failing the assessment does not mean that you are permanently rejected from SoftMaji.
It simply means that you did not achieve the required passing score for that particular assessment.
You may improve your knowledge and take another assessment where the applicable assessment rules allow it.
Certify currently lists an optional improvement examination separately from the standard assessment.
7. What score do I need to pass?
The passing score depends on the particular assessment.
Many assessments on Certify currently use a 75% passing score, although candidates should check the specific assessment before starting it.
8. Do I receive a certificate after passing?
Yes.
Candidates who successfully pass the assessment can receive a digital certificate through Certify.
The certificate contains a unique identification number that can be used for online verification.
9. Why do I need to share the certificate with SoftMaji?
The certificate provides evidence that you successfully completed the required skill assessment.
After passing, candidates should share:
- Skill assessment certificate
- Updated resume/CV
- Portfolio or project links, if available
- Other relevant information requested for the position
Our recruitment team can then review the application.
10. Does passing the skill test mean I will get the job?
No.
Passing the assessment is only one step in the recruitment process.
Final selection may depend on:
- Assessment result
- Resume
- Educational background
- Relevant experience
- Practical skills
- Portfolio/projects
- Technical interview
- Practical/coding assessment
- Communication

The careers website also states that passing the assessment does not guarantee selection.
11. Do freshers have to take the assessment?
If the particular job opening requires a skill assessment, yes.
Freshers are welcome to apply for suitable positions, but they must complete the required assessment before applying when the position specifies one.
The assessment is intended to evaluate knowledge and skills, not simply years of professional experience.
12. Do interns have to take the assessment?
If the internship position requires a skill assessment, the candidate must complete the specified assessment before applying.
The requirement depends on the individual position.
13. Is the assessment fee refundable if I fail?
The assessment fee is for the assessment service and is separate from the recruitment process.
Candidates should review the applicable Certify refund policy and assessment terms before making payment.

- Job application
- Resume submission
- Interview
- HR interview
- Technical interview
- Joining

15. What exactly does the ₹49 assessment payment cover?
The standard assessment fee covers the assessment service provided through Certify.
This includes the online assessment environment and, when the candidate passes, the digital certification process.
Certify currently describes the ₹49 fee as covering its secure testing system and permanent online hosting of the digital certificate.
Additional optional services, if selected by the candidate, may have separate charges.
16. Can I take the assessment without applying for a job?
Yes.
Certify is also available as a general skill assessment and certification platform. Candidates can use the platform to demonstrate their knowledge and obtain a verifiable certificate.
However, for SoftMaji recruitment, candidates should complete the assessment relevant to the position they want to apply for.
17. Why does SoftMaji use a separate certification platform?
The skill assessment and recruitment processes serve different purposes.
Certify provides the assessment, examination, evaluation, and certificate infrastructure.
SoftMaji Careers handles job openings, candidate applications, screening, interviews, and recruitment.
Keeping these processes separate allows the assessment result to be documented independently before the recruitment team reviews the candidate.
18. Can I use my certificate elsewhere?
Yes.
The certificate issued through Certify is designed to be shareable and verifiable.
Candidates may use it on their:
- Resume/CV
- LinkedIn profile
- Portfolio
- Job applications
The certificate includes a unique verification ID that can be checked through the certificate verification system.
19. Can I apply for more than one job?
Yes.
You may apply for multiple relevant positions if you meet their requirements.
However, a position may require a specific skill assessment. In that case, you should complete the assessment relevant to that position.
20. What should I keep ready before applying?
Candidates should generally keep the following ready:
- Updated Resume/CV
- Relevant skill-test certificate
- Educational details
- Work experience details
- Portfolio
- GitHub profile, where applicable
- Previous project links
- Current location
- Notice period/availability
