• Written test and skill test: merit is based on the combined score of the written test and the skill test.

These include the Mark Sheets for all years / semesters of Diploma / Graduation, and the provisional certificate / Diploma Certificate. Without them, the candidature will be cancelled.
• Suitability: passing the examination gives no right to appointment unless Kalakshetra Foundation is satisfied, after any enquiry it considers necessary, that the candidate is suitable in all respects.
