DRIVING LICENSE
(Driving licence of two-wheeler with gear and four-wheeler is required)
Note: Driving licence can be obtained before the mains examination. Heavy motor vehicle (HMV) licence and Garage experience is not required.
PHYSICAL CRITERIA
Note: Candidates with eye-glasses are eligible but candidates with colour-blindness and physically challenged are not eligible.
SCHEME AND SYLLABUS OF EXAMINATION
Examination is held in two stages namely Preliminary and Mains. No interview round.
Note: Only the marks obtained in the mains examination are considered as preliminary examination is qualifying in nature and so does not have any bearing on final selection. No interview round since it is a class three (3) position
