Based on the eligibility criteria short listed candidates are called for a written test consisting of three sections – Verbal Ability, Quantitative Ability and Engineering Ability. The written test is conducted in four cities (Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi). The mode of conducting the offline written examination is subject to the advisories and guidelines of the Central and State Government during the admission process for the 2022-23 Batch.

Candidates shortlisted after the written test are called for Personal Interview (PI) at the host institute.

The mode of the interview will be finalized depending on the circumstances and Government advisories.

Selection will be based on academic records, work experience, and performance in Aptitude Test and Personal Interview. The competent authority of the Tri-institute can change the admissions criteria at a later stage depending on feasibility of conducting written tests or personal interviews at a later stage. The decision of the competent authority will be treated as final.
