1. Practical Driving / Skill Test

The core of the Driver selection is the practical driving assessment:

• Handling official vehicles (Staff Car / Light Motor Vehicle)

• Starting, stopping, and maneuvering safely

• Parking, reversing, and negotiating obstacles

• Observing traffic rules and road safety regulations

• Vehicle maintenance basics (checking fuel, oil, tire pressure, minor repairs)

• Driving under different road conditions (urban, rural, highways)

⚠️ Note: Passing the practical driving test is mandatory for final selection.

2. Written / Online Test (if applicable)

Some postal circles conduct a basic written or online test:

Typically objective-type questions (MCQs); qualifying or merit-based depending on circle notification.

3. English / Local Language (if applicable)

• Reading and understanding simple instructions

• Comprehension of notices or circulars related to postal work

• Ability to communicate effectively in the local language of the posting circle

4. Medical / Physical Fitness

• Hearing ability adequate for safe driving

  Important Notes

  • Practical driving skills are the most important for selection.

  • Written/online tests are secondary and may be absent in some circles.
