2. Driving Test (40 marks): Candidates 5 times the number of vacancies are called based on screening test merit. The test covers starting, driving, parking and after-driving segments (10 marks each). You need at least 20 out of 40 marks to qualify.

2. Interview/Viva Voce (20 marks): Candidates 5 times the number of vacancies are called based on written exam merit. You need at least 12 out of 20 marks to qualify.

Final selection for both posts is based on the total marks scored across all qualifying stages.
