Selection Process
Stage
Details
1. Shortlisting
Suitable candidates are shortlisted on the basis of eligibility and experience in the relevant field. Meeting the minimum criteria does not automatically entitle a candidate to be called — where applications are large in number, NMRC may shortlist on qualifications and experience higher than the minimum prescribed. Candidates must therefore furnish full details of all qualifications and experience with documentary evidence in the application form.
2. Written Test (if applicable)
A written test may be resorted to if the number of candidates is large. The selection process judges knowledge, skill, experience, aptitude and physical ability. Marks, duration and syllabus are not specified in the notification.
3. Document Verification
Conducted before the interview. Candidates must carry all original certificates and testimonials; failing this, the candidate will not be allowed to attend the interview.
4. Personal Interview
Shortlisted candidates are informed at the email address given in the application form and must appear on the scheduled date and time with all original documents. The entire selection process is conducted by NMRC in offline mode only. Outstation candidates must make their own travel and stay arrangements — no TA/DA or reimbursement of any kind is provided.
5. Medical Examination
Selected candidates undergo a medical examination as per Corporation policy and must meet the medical standards prescribed by NMRC (available on the NMRC website). The cost of the first medical examination is borne by NMRC; any re-examination sought by the candidate is at the candidate’s own expense.
