• Stage 2: Written Examination: Shortlisted candidates will be required to appear for a main written examination. This examination is typically objective type, consisting of multiple-choice questions (MCQs). The syllabus generally includes General Knowledge, General Hindi, Reasoning Ability, and specific subject knowledge pertaining to Sports and Physical Education relevant to the Directorate posts. Details regarding the exact exam pattern, number of questions, total marks, duration, and negative marking (if any) will be comprehensively provided in the official notification.
• Stage 3: Physical Standard Test (PST) / Physical Efficiency Test (PET) / Skill Test (as applicable): Given the nature of Sports Directorate posts, candidates may be subjected to a Physical Standard Test (PST) to check height, weight, chest measurements, or a Physical Efficiency Test (PET) to assess endurance and physical capabilities, or a specialized Skill Test. For instance, Lifesaver posts may require a swimming test, while Assistant Coaches might need to demonstrate coaching skills in their respective sports. These tests are qualifying in nature, and specific requirements will be outlined in the detailed advertisement.
• Stage 4: Document Verification (DV): Candidates who successfully qualify in the written examination and any physical/skill tests will be called for document verification. This stage is crucial for verifying the authenticity of all submitted documents. Candidates must bring all original educational certificates (Class 10th, 12th, Graduation, Diploma), experience certificates, age proof (birth certificate/Class 10th mark sheet), caste certificate (for reserved categories), domicile certificate, photo ID (Aadhar Card, PAN Card, Driving License), and any other relevant documents as specified in the notification.
