How Candidates Are Selected
Selection for both posts happens in three stages:
- Written exam with two papers: Language Proficiency (100 marks) and Aptitude (100 marks). You need at least 40 marks in each paper.
- Structured interview (100 marks, minimum 60). Only candidates who pass both written papers are called.
- Final selection is made on the total of your written exam and interview marks.
Because the written exam decides who reaches the interview, it is worth practising language and aptitude questions early. Our IQ methods and online quiz sections are a good place to start.
