How selection works

Selection is by a preliminary test and an interview. The General Studies paper is scheduled for 17 January 2027; the date of the subject paper will be announced later. In the Advt 60 notice the test has 100 General Studies questions and 200 subject questions, 300 marks in 180 minutes, and anyone below 15% is not called for interview. The prelim and the interview each carry half the weight in the final merit.
