test) alone shall be called for skill test. Written test will be conducted in such a way that
theoretical and practical knowledge of the candidate is tested covering both breadth and
depth of the prescribed curriculum. The skill test will be purely on go-no-go basis and marks
obtained in the skill test will not be considered for selection. The skill test will be evaluated on
a 100 point scale with minimum 60% for qualification. The final selection will be done amongst
qualified candidates, purely based on the scores obtained in the written test. From amongst
candidates who qualify in the skill test with 60% marks, empanelment will be done in the order
of marks obtained in the written test. In case of a tie in the written scores, the academic
scores of the notified qualification will be the tie- breaker.

not automatically make candidates eligible for written test/skill test. Based on Bio-data initial
screening will be done to short list the candidates. Only short-listed candidates will be called
for Written Test. Candidates called for written test/skill test will have the option to answer the
