Selection Process
Selection for all posts is made on the basis of performance in a Computer Based Test (CBT) followed by a Skill Test or Interview.
1. Computer Based Test (CBT) — The CBT consists of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) with no negative marking.

Candidates scoring 60% or above (UR/EWS) and 54% or above (SC/ST/OBC/PwBD) in the CBT are eligible for shortlisting for the skill test or interview. 2. Skill Test (for teaching posts) — The skill test is qualifying in nature and is conducted on a "Go / No Go" basis. It is a chalk-and-board test in which candidates demonstrate their teaching ability on a subject-oriented topic. Only candidates awarded "Go" are empanelled, in the order of merit based on CBT marks. 3. Interview (for Principal and Vice-Principal) — The final selection is based on the aggregate of CBT and interview marks, with a 50:50 weightage. Candidates must score at least 60% (UR/EWS) and 54% (reserved categories) separately in both the CBT and the interview. 4. Medical Test — Candidates who receive the offer of appointment are medically examined. A waiting list equal to the number of vacancies is also prepared and remains valid for one year.
The CBT will tentatively be held in 44 cities across India, including Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, Patna, Bhopal, Pune, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram. The skill test and interview are held only at AEES, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai.
