Eligibility: relevant Engineering Degree + 2 years experience OR Engineering Diploma + 5 years; only relevant full-time service counts and a standalone stint under 6 months does not. Stage-I: 50 objective marks, 60 minutes, ¼ penalty per wrong answer. Stage-II JoPT: 50 marks, 60 minutes. Final merit is combined 100; there is no Junior Superintendent-type qualifying-only JoPT for this post.

Practical: 50 marks / 60 minutes

JoPT covers estimating, measurement of quantities and costing; surveying; material testing (cement, concrete, brick and aggregates); and contracts. Actual practical scores count fully toward merit. Review measurement books, rate analysis, BOQ calculations and safe inspection practices; these are preparation examples not extra eligibility requirements.
