Stage 1: Written / OMR Objective Exam
The Board conducts an objective-type multiple choice examination in OMR mode. The question paper is set in English only. There is negative marking of one-fourth (¼) mark for every wrong answer, so avoid blind guessing. The final merit list is prepared only from this written exam.

Candidates who qualify or are shortlisted from the written exam are called for document verification. You must produce all original certificates proving your qualification, category, domicile and date of birth. Failing to produce them cancels your candidature.
