10. Mode of Selection

Selection (as stated on the source) — sequence for recruitment:

1. Scrutiny of online application & certificates — initial eligibility check.

2. Physical Verification of Documents (PVD) — shortlisting based on documentary evidence and sports credentials.

3. Physical Standard Test (PST) — height, chest (males) and weight criteria apply. (Height: Male 170 cm, Female 157 cm; chest for males unexpanded 80 cm with 5 cm expansion.)

4. Detailed Medical Examination (DME) — conducted per Ministry of Home Affairs medical standards.

5. Minimum qualifying marks: The source specifically mentions issuance of admit cards to candidates who secure minimum qualifying 12 marks (for all categories UR/SC/ST/OBC) during scrutiny — this appears to be internal scoring during scrutiny. Final merit will depend on the above stages as per notification.
