The selection process is designed to test both your knowledge and your hands-on skill.
Written Exam (25 Marks): 30-minute objective test covering Driving Rules and General Knowledge.
Driving Test (75 Marks): A rigorous practical exam to evaluate your on-road skills.
Merit List: Based on the combined marks of both stages.
Expert Strategy: Do not ignore the 25-mark written test! Since the merit is cumulative, scoring high in the written section gives you a massive buffer. Focus on the Motor Vehicles Act (1988 & 2019 amendment) and Uttarakhand-specific current affairs. For the practical, practice "H" and "S" shape driving maneuvers, as these are common in government driving tests.
