Selection Process

Step 1 : Computer-Based Examination (CBT)

This is the primary screening stage. Depending on the post you applied for, you will sit for one of three exam levels: Matriculation, Higher Secondary, or Graduation.

• Format : 100 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for a total of 200 marks.

• Duration : 60 minutes.

• Sections : General Intelligence, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, and English Language (25 questions each).

• Negative Marking : $0.50$ marks are deducted for every wrong answer.

Step 2 : Scrutiny of Documents (Postal Submission)

Candidates who meet the cut-off in the CBT must send hard copies of their supporting documents (educational certificates, experience, category proof) to the respective Regional Office for verification.

This stage is not mandatory for all posts. It is only required if the specific job description mentions a technical requirement.

Examples : Typing Test, Data Entry Test, or Computer Proficiency Test.

Nature : Usually qualifying in nature (marks do not add to the final merit list)

Step 3 : Skill Test (Post-Specific)

• This stage is not mandatory for all posts. It is only required if the specific job description mentions a technical requirement.
• Examples : Typing Test, Data Entry Test, or Computer Proficiency Test.
• Nature : Usually qualifying in nature (marks do not add to the final merit list

Step 4: Document Verification (DV)

Shortlisted candidates are called for physical verification of their original documents at the Regional Offices. This is to ensure all eligibility claims made during the application are authentic.

Step 5 : Final Selection & Medical Examination

The final merit list is prepared based only on the marks scored in the Computer-Based Examination. Selected candidates then undergo a medical fitness check-up by the specific department that issued the vacancy before receiving their joining letter.p 3
