• Upload Documents : Upload scanned copies of your recent color photograph, signature, Class 10/Matriculation mark sheet and pass certificate, ITI consolidated mark sheet/provisional certificate, National Trade Certificate (NCVT/SCVT), and applicable community/caste certificates (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/Disability/Ex-Servicemen).

Selection Process

• Basis of Selection : Selection is carried out strictly on the basis of a merit list prepared for each unit, derived solely from the percentage of marks obtained in Matriculation (Class X) with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks.

• Calculation of Marks : The percentage is calculated using the total marks of all subjects in the mark sheet (not a "best of five" approach). CGPA must be converted to equivalent percentages.

• No Tests or Interviews : There is no written test, practical test, or viva-voce for selection.

• Tie-Breaking Criteria : If two or more applicants secure identical marks, the older candidate is given preference. If dates of birth are also identical, priority is given to the candidate who passed the Matriculation examination earlier.

• Document Verification (DV) : Shortlisted candidates are called for DV at the East Coast Railway Headquarters in Bhubaneswar based on merit. Final selection is subject to original document verification and submission of a medical fitness certificate (Annexure 'F').
