The allocation of seats is statewise and UT-wise, where Maharashtra gets maximum seats (138 seats), then comes Tamil Nadu (46 seats) and lastly Delhi (37 seats). Because the advantage of reservation is for all categories, such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwBD, applicants must look into their respective states’ seat matrix.
🎓 Discipline & Educational Qualification
- Qualification Required: Graduate degree in any discipline from a recognized university (or equivalent qualification recognized by the Central Government)
- Graduation Passing Window: Must have passed final year graduation between 01.01.2022 and 01.06.2026 (both dates inclusive)
- Candidates who passed before or after this window are not eligible
The above eligibility criteria allow students graduating from any discipline such as commerce, science, arts, or any other stream to take up the training, thereby eliminating the restriction associated with the subjects which is common with government examinations. This is an ideal avenue for freshers from any discipline.
📉 Minimum Qualifying Marks
There are no exact percentage qualifying marks stated in the notification regarding graduation.
But one thing needs to be clear that one needs to state his/her percentage in online application form precisely.
As there is no set cutoff mark, the selection procedure would purely depend on online written test performance and the meritorious ranking would only be taken into account by them. So, one needs not bother about percentage of graduation at all..
🎂 Age Limit (as on 01.06.2026)
- Minimum Age: 21 years
- Maximum Age: 30 years
- Date of Birth Range: Not earlier than 02.06.1996 and not later than 01.06.2005
Age Relaxation:
| Category | Relaxation |
|---|---|
| SC/ST | 5 years |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 3 years |
| PwBD | 10 years |
| Widow/Divorced/Separated Women | Up to 35 (Gen/EWS), 38 (OBC), 40 (SC/ST) |
Cumulative relaxation on the basis of age can be availed for only one more category, hence those belonging to the reserved category have more flexibility in terms of age limit.
💰 Application Fee
| Category | Fee (incl. 18% GST) |
|---|---|
| General/EWS/OBC (Male) | Rs. 800 + GST = Rs. 944 |
| General/EWS/OBC (Female) | Rs. 600 + GST = Rs. 708 |
| SC/ST/PwBD (Any Gender) | Rs. 200 + GST = Rs. 236 |
Payment Mode: Online only
The fee structure allows for an exception to be made for ladies and for reserved categories, which makes the fee structure affordable. Just keep in mind that the fees once submitted are not refundable.
⚙️ Selection Process
- Online Written Test (CBT) – Objective type, 100 marks, 60 minutes
- Regional Language Test – Mandatory unless 10th/12th certificate proves language proficiency
- Document Verification
Tie-breaker: if two candidates score equal marks, the older candidate ranks higher.
The process of selection is pretty simple compared to most banking/insurance tests where there is just one test paper and an interview, making it possible to prepare for within a few days.
