- Physical Efficiency Test (PET) & Physical Measurement Test (PMT): Evaluates physical standards, endurance, and stamina.
- Document Verification (DV): Cross-checks academic and reservation certificates.
- Medical Examination: Confirms the final fitness of the candidate before onboarding. [4, 8, 9, 10]
