There is no written examination. Shortlisted Young Professionals will be called for an interaction or interview by a Selection Committee.

Selected candidates must clear a pre-engagement medical fitness test as per NMRC rules and undergo antecedent verification, and must join within 15 days of the offer of engagement failing which the offer stands withdrawn automatically.
