Depending on the number of vacancies available, cut offs will be decided for Descriptive paper evaluation.

There will be penalty for wrong answers marked in the Objective Tests.

If a question is left blank, i.e. no answer is marked by the candidate, there will be no penalty for that question. The Company reserves the right to modify the structure of the examination which will be intimated through its website.
Phase – III:
Interview Candidates who have been shortlisted at the end of Phase-II will subsequently be called for an Interview to be conducted by the Company. Interview will be conducted at select centres. The weightage (ratio) of online Examination and Interview will be 75:25 respectively. The centre, address of the venue, time & date of Interview will be informed to the shortlisted candidates in the call letter. Candidates are required to download their interview call letters from company’s website. Please note that any request regarding change in date, centre etc. of interview will not be entertained. However, the company reserves the right to change the date/ venue/ time/ centre etc. of interview or hold supplementary process for particular date / session / venue / centre / set of candidates at its discretion, under unforeseen circumstances, if any.
Final selection
Final selection would be based on consolidated marks of main examination
(objective test) & Interview. The final merit list shall be prepared in descending
order of the consolidated marks secured by the candidates. Candidates who fall
within the number of vacancies in the merit list shall be considered for
appointment. The selected candidates may be appointed in more than one batch
as per the discretion of the Management. The seniority of the selected
candidates will be as per the merit / select list. A Waiting List of candidates not
exceeding 50% of the number of vacancies may also be prepared and may be
utilized in the event of non-acceptance of employment offer by the candidates
selected in the final merit list.
As per prevailing practice, in the event of two or more candidates having
obtained the same score, final merit is decided in the following order: a) Marks
secured in interview (candidate securing higher marks in interview shall be
placed before/ above the candidate securing lesser marks). If interview marks
are same, then b) date of birth (candidate senior in age is placed before/ above
the candidate junior in age).
Appointment of selected candidates is subject to their being found medically fit
as per the requirements of the Company. Such appointment will also be subject
to the service and conduct rules of the Company.
