OCT Additional Selection Test Selection Process & Exam Details
The stages, in the order they usually take place:
- Written Examination
- Document Verification
- Medical Examination
Your Next Steps After the Admit Card
You usually get the admit card a few days before the exam, once the applications have been checked. It tells you where to go, at what time and in which shift, so open it the day the link goes live and read every line.
The selection for Additional Selection Test goes through Written Examination, Document Verification and Medical Examination. Each round filters candidates, so a good score in the first one is only the beginning.
Preparation Plan From the Dates
- Selection runs through: Written Examination → Document Verification → Medical Examination. Prepare for the later stage while the first is still pending, because gaps between stages are usually short.
- Track negative marking rules in the notice and practise attempting only questions you are reasonably sure of.
- Read the exam pattern once fully so you know the sections, marks and duration before you begin.
