Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth, the 20.10.2026 cut-off date and your category relaxation to see instantly whether you fall inside the limit for your post (30 to 45 years).

2. Written test and/or interview
GIL decides after seeing how many applications come in. It may hold a written test, an interview or both.
3. Final marks
Your record (qualification, experience, written test) carries about 50 percent and the interview about 50 percent. You need at least 50 percent in each part.
