Selection Process
Candidates will be selected based on a merit list prepared by trade-wise, unit-wise, and community-wise. The merit list for each unit will be prepared based on the percentage of marks obtained in the 10th standard (with a minimum aggregate of 50%) combined with ITI marks in the relevant trade for the apprenticeship. The final selection panel will consider the average marks from both matriculation and ITI.
In cases where two candidates have the same score, preference will be given to the older candidate. If the dates of birth are also identical, the candidate who passed the matriculation exam earlier will be prioritized.
A final merit list will be created for each unit, trade, and community, equal to the number of available slots, arranged in descending order of the percentage of marks obtained as described above. Candidates on this list will be called for document verification at a rate of 1.5 times the number of advertised vacancies.
