South Eastern Railway Apprentice Recruitment 2025: Selection process

The merit list in each trade will be generated as a percentage of the marks received in Matriculation, with a minimum of 50% (aggregate). For the purpose of calculating the percentage of matriculation, candidates' marks in all subjects will be considered, rather than the marks in any one subject or combination of courses.
