• Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, C&I and Mining: Pay Level 10, with the pay range from ₹56,100 to ₹1,77,500. All five streams share the same pay level.
• The minimum of the Level 10 range is ₹56,100, the starting point of the pay matrix for these posts.

These are regular salaried positions at Pay Level 10, so the NPS deduction is 10% of basic pay plus DA. This assumes the post is covered by the National Pension System, and the details provided do not confirm which pension scheme applies, so check the notification. Income tax applies as per the slab on your taxable income. HRA rates, other allowances and the exact deductions are not in the details provided, so see official notification.

• Wrong photo or signature file: Uploading files outside the size, dimension or format stated in the notification is one of the most frequent causes of rejection. Resize and check before uploading.
• Degree title mismatch: Entering a degree name that does not match your stream's accepted list, or that differs from the marksheet, leads to rejection at the eligibility stage.
• Incomplete education details: The 65% and 60% thresholds are measured across all years or semesters. Leaving out the aggregate or the semester-wise breakup can cause the form to be flagged.
• Miscalculated age: The base age limit is not stated in the details provided, so calculate against the notification figure, then add only the relaxation your category supports: SC/ST 5 years, OBC 3 years, PwD 10 years.
• Unsupported category claim: Claiming SC, ST, OBC or PwD status without a valid certificate in the prescribed format leads to disqualification at document verification.
• Missing documents at DV: Candidates who cannot produce original certificates and attested copies at document verification are removed from the process, regardless of their score.

Selected candidates go through document verification against the originals and attested copies submitted in the prescribed format. A medical examination may follow, though the specific standards are not in the details provided, so see official notification. Candidates who clear these stages are appointed as Executive Trainees and undergo a training period whose length and content are not stated in the details provided. See official notification for the training schedule, stipend or pay during training, and the probation conditions.
