📋 Understanding the Selection & Verification Process
Unlike standard exams like RRB NTPC or RRB Group D which rely heavily on Computer Based Tests (CBT) and normalization formulas, Sports Quota recruitment relies on Field Trials and Achievement Assessment.
Is there Normalization?
No. Normalization is a mathematical process used in multi-shift CBT exams to adjust score variations. For Sports Quota:
- Merit is drawn based on marks awarded for Sports Achievements (Certificate analysis) and Field Trials (Physical performance).
- Candidates must secure a minimum qualifying mark in trials to be considered for the final panel.
What Next? (Document Verification)
The selected candidates listed above must be ready for the next stage. Ensure you have the following original documents ready:
- Date of Birth Proof: Matriculation (10th) Certificate.
- Educational Qualification: 10th/12th/ITI Marksheets as applicable for Level-1.
- Sports Certificates: Original certificates used to claim eligibility.
- Caste Certificate: SC/ST/OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) format as per Railway standards.
- Aadhaar Card: For identity verification.
