Selection Process
The CBT will contribute 80% of the total selection score, with the remaining 20% allocated for candidates with experience in state government hospitals or institutions, based on a service certificate issued by the competent authorities. This experience must be in the same category of post for which the candidate is applying. Points will be awarded based on the duration of service (e.g., 2.5 points for six months of service in tribal areas and 2 points for non-tribal areas).
In case two or more candidates score the same marks, preference will be given to the older candidate. If the age is also the same, the percentage of marks in the qualifying examination will be considered.
