💡 Expert Tip

Your Conductor Licence and Badge must be valid on the date of online application — if either has expired even by a day, your form will be rejected outright. Similarly, your Computer Knowledge certificate must be obtained before the application closing date of 05/07/2026; post-date certificates are not accepted. Since all applicants are called for the OMR exam, focus heavily on Computer Basics (20 marks) and General Knowledge/History/Geography (20 marks) — these two sections alone account for 40% of the paper. Negative marking of 0.25 applies to wrong answers AND blank answers (unless you mark Option E to skip). Widows and sports persons at national/inter-university level get 5% bonus marks added to their OMR score — make sure to declare this in the application form itself.
