Candidates must provide valid proof of birth date during the application process, such as a birth certificate or a recognized educational certificate, to verify their eligibility.

The selection process for the NCRTC Technician recruitment is a two-staged procedure designed to vet candidates for both academic excellence and physical readiness. The stages are as follows:

1. Computer Based Test (CBT): This is the first and primary stage of selection. It assesses the candidate's knowledge in their respective trade, along with general aptitude, including reasoning, mathematics, and language proficiency.
2. Medical Examination: Candidates who successfully clear the CBT are shortlisted for a medical fitness test. This stage is crucial to ensure that candidates are physically fit and capable of performing the technical duties required for the position.
