Selection Process
There is no written test for this recruitment. Selection is purely merit-based: A merit list is prepared based on the percentage of marks (aggregate of all subjects across all years/semesters) obtained in the prescribed qualification, in descending order. Preference is given to candidates applying for apprenticeship training for the first time. In case of a tie in marks, the candidate senior in age (date of birth) is ranked higher; if the date of birth is also the same, higher percentage in Matriculation is considered. PwBD candidates who avail relaxation in qualifying marks are considered against reserved seats based on merit within their category. Shortlisted candidates are called for Document Verification, followed by pre-engagement medical fitness examination.
