Additionally, separate remuneration will be provided for any extra duties performed.

What is the Selection Process?

Regarding the selection process, candidates will first be required to undergo a Physical Test, which will carry a maximum weightage of 100 marks. Before this, a document verification process will be conducted. Should the volume of applications received be exceptionally high, the company reserves the right to conduct a preliminary screening test.

The merit list will be prepared based on the scores obtained in the physical test. If two candidates secure equal marks, the older candidate will be given priority.
