UR and EWS candidates must score at least 50% in the written test and interview; SC, ST, OBC (NCL) and PwBD candidates must score at least 45% where the post is reserved for the relevant category. The final merit list uses the combined written-test and interview marks. If candidates tie, the older candidate receives preference.

Outstation candidates called for interview are eligible for travel allowance: economy-class airfare for CGM and GM candidates, and AC II-tier rail fare for AGM and lower-level candidates. Waitlisted rail tickets are not reimbursed.

Eligible candidates should check the detailed official notice, select a post matching their qualifications and experience, and submit the online form by 22 November 2026 at 5:00 PM. Remember that the printed application and supporting documents must also reach GSL by 2 December 2026.
