Because it is offline, ensure you attach the proof of fee (if required) with your application or envelope.

Selection Process

What will happen after you send your application? Here’s the usual process:

1. Proficiency / Trade Test
   You will be tested in the trade role you applied for (mechanic skills, etc). This check ensures you truly have practical knowledge.
2. Merit / Marks in Test
   Based on your trade test performance, a merit list is drawn.
3. Document Verification
   If you are shortlisted, you need to produce original certificates, identity proofs, etc.
4. Medical / Physical Fitness
   Since BRO works in remote, challenging terrain, they will check physical fitness, medical conditions.

If you clear all stages, you get appointed.
