The screening focuses on assessing the candidate's reasoning, quantitative aptitude and professional knowledge in their selected discipline in addition to English language. Only those who qualify in the screening stage and rank sufficiently high in merit are invited for the interview.
The selection process is carried out in main stages as explained below.
1. Scrutiny and Shortlisting of Applications: Applications are shortlisted on the basis of documents uploaded in support of eligibility criteria (qualification, experience, category, etc.) at the time of registration. Only candidates whose documents clearly establish eligibility are taken forward for the online test and/or interview.
2. Online Examination:
