Interview marks determine final merit
SJVN will scrutinise applications before document verification and personal interviews. The company may use a qualifying screening test when applicant numbers require further shortlisting.
Final selection is based on interview marks. The qualifying interview mark is 50 percent for UR, EWS and ESM candidates, and 40 percent for the listed reserved categories.
