Important Points to Remember

  • Mere issue of a call letter/admit card does not confirm eligibility — this is confirmed only after document verification at the GD & Interview stage, on production of original certificates
  • Category (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwBD) once entered in the application form cannot be changed later, and no benefit of another category will be admissible
  • Outstation candidates attending GD & Interview will be reimbursed Travelling Allowance (2nd AC Two-Tier Rail/Bus fare) on production of original tickets, using the prescribed TA claim form (Annexure-I)
  • SC/ST certificates must follow the prescribed Proforma-I format, and OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) certificates must follow Proforma-II, both included as annexures in the official notification
  • EWS candidates must submit an Income & Asset Certificate (Annexure-IV format) valid for 2026-2027
  • Any vacancy earmarked for EWS that cannot be filled due to non-availability of a suitable candidate will not be carried forward as backlog to the next recruitment year

  • Only Indian Nationals are eligible to apply; court jurisdiction for any dispute lies at Bilaspur

Preparation Tips for the Computer Based Test

  • Since CBT carries 70% weightage in the final merit, your written test performance matters far more than GD or Interview combined — prioritise your preparation accordingly
  • Brush up on your core discipline fundamentals at a graduate-engineering (or relevant professional) level, since the CBT is discipline-specific for each stream
  • The qualifying marks differ by category (40/45/50 out of what appears to be a 100-point scale) — know your own category’s cut-off and aim comfortably above it, since only qualifying isn’t enough to guarantee a GD & Interview call in a competitive discipline
  • Practice both Hindi and English MCQ formats, since the CBT is conducted bilingually
  • Keep your original documents — especially Matriculation certificate, degree certificates, and category proof — organized well in advance, since document verification is strict and happens before the GD & Interview stage
