Step 2: Computer-based test (CBT) with 70% cut-off score

Eligible applicants are scheduled for a Computer-Based Aptitude Test. The test is designed to assess cognitive and analytical skills, with a strict cut-off score set at 70%.

Candidates who pass the CBT are invited to proceed to the video submission stage. Those who fall short of the benchmark are notified via email of their unsuccessful attempt.

Step 3: Video submission for personal introduction

In the third stage, applicants must upload a 60-second video introducing themselves. This video serves as a personal pitch and is evaluated for clarity, confidence, and communication skills.

Successful submissions lead candidates to the psychometric testing phase, while unsuccessful ones receive a regret notification.

Step 4: Psychometric test and baseline data collection

All candidates who reach this stage are required to complete a psychometric test. This assessment is mandatory and is used to gather baseline data on personality traits and behavioural tendencies.
