Should You Apply?
This recruitment drive represents a major opportunity specifically for diploma holders in Civil Engineering. Crucially, candidates possessing a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering are explicitly barred from applying, which significantly reduces competition from degree graduates. The selection relies on a 210-mark objective test divided into Part-A (90 marks) and Part-B (120 marks), highlighting the heavy weightage of technical core subjects alongside general ability. Aspirants should also note that examination fees (₹500 for Unreserved and ₹400 for reserved categories and all females) are fully refundable upon appearing in the exam, provided valid bank details are entered accurately during application submission.
