How the merit list is made

There is no written test in the notice. Candidates are shortlisted on the percentage of marks in their trade or discipline. Eligible local candidates living within 16 km of the Narora Atomic Power Station get first preference, within the reservation rules; if not enough local candidates are found, others are considered on merit. If two candidates have the same percentage, the one born earlier is placed higher, and if the date of birth is also the same, the one with the higher Class 10 percentage. Candidates who have CGPA or grades must bring their institute's conversion table.

Documents, medical fitness and police verification

At document verification you need your birth certificate or Class 10 certificate, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, the ITI, diploma or degree certificate with marksheets of all semesters, caste, EWS (2026-27) or disability certificate if it applies, Aadhaar, PAN, bank account details, 2 recent passport-size photos and, for local preference, proof of address within 16 km. Because the station is a highly protected area, a police verification certificate from the district police is required before engagement. Candidates must be medically fit, with a height of at least 137 cm, weight of at least 25.4 kg and chest expansion of not less than 3.8 cm.
