Selection Process & Exam Pattern
Selection is based on a merit list prepared for all candidates who apply against the notification, calculated as the simple average of the percentage of marks in Matriculation (minimum 50% aggregate) and the percentage of marks in ITI, in the trade in which apprenticeship is sought.
For Matriculation percentage, marks obtained by the candidate in all subjects are considered - not the marks of any single subject or group of subjects.
For ITI percentage, marks mentioned in the provisional/final certificate are considered.
In case two candidates have the same marks, the older candidate is preferred
if the date of birth is also the same, the candidate who passed the Matriculation exam earlier is considered first.
The final merit list is prepared division/unit-wise, trade-wise, and community-wise, equal to the number of slots, in descending order of the percentage of marks obtained.
Candidates finally enlisted are subject to verification of original testimonials and production of a medical certificate (as per the notification's Annexure-IV).
Candidates should note that no centralised merit list is formed - each unit's merit list is prepared separately based on candidates who applied for that specific unit.
| Medical Fitness | Selected candidates must produce a medical certificate in the prescribed format at the time of Document Verification, signed by a Government-authorised Gazetted Doctor not below the rank of Assistant Surgeon of a Central/State Hospital. Standards of fitness for Persons with Disability are also specified in the notification, covering Locomotor Disability/Cerebral Palsy (not less than 40% relevant disability), Hearing Impairment (loss of 60 decibels or more in the better ear, including Deaf, Dumb, or Deaf & Dumb candidates), and other benchmark disability categories as defined in the notification. |
