2nd Stage CBT (Discipline-Specific)

• Duration: 120 minutes (160 minutes for scribe-eligible candidates); a virtual calculator is provided on screen.
• Negative marking: 1/3rd mark deducted for each wrong answer, in both stages of CBT.
• Minimum qualifying marks: UR & EWS 40%, OBC-NCL & SC 30%, ST 25% (relaxable by up to 2 marks for PwBD candidates in case of shortage against reserved vacancies).
• Document Verification is based on merit and options in the 2nd Stage CBT; the number of candidates called equals the number of vacancies.
• Medical Examination follows the post-specific medical standard; candidates found medically unfit are not offered any alternative appointment.
