• Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) (Approx. 60% weightage for the interview stage): Shortlisted candidates must participate in a GD and PI round. This stage is crucial for assessing a candidate's communication skills, attitude, problem-solving ability, leadership potential, general knowledge, career vision, and overall personality fit.
• Academic Performance: Consistent academic records from 10th, 12th, and the bachelor's degree level are also given significant consideration.
• Work Experience and Other Achievements: Candidates with relevant work experience, co-curricular/extracurricular achievements, social work, or additional educational qualifications receive extra weightage in the evaluation process.
