ICG CGEPT Selection Process

1. Stage I: Computer Based Examination (CBE), with identity check and biometric recording
2. Stage II: Physical Fitness Test, Assessment and Adaptability Test, Document Verification and Recruitment Medical Examination at ICG recruitment centres
3. Stage III: Aadhaar-based identity check, document verification, pre-enrolment medical and submission of documents at INS Chilka
4. Stage IV: Verification of original documents with the boards, universities and state authorities

• Stage II is held jointly for both batches, lasts 1 to 2 days, and is only qualifying.
• Shortlisting for Stage II depends on Stage I marks and the handling capacity of recruitment centres. Date and centre for Stage II are allotted on a first come, first served basis.
• The final merit list is based only on Stage I marks, qualification in all parts of Stage II and the number of vacancies.
• Assessment test marks are not part of the merit and are used only to break a tie.
• Tie-breaking rule: the older candidate is placed higher, then the candidate with more marks in the Assessment Test.
• Merit lists are zone-wise and category-wise for Navik (GD) male, and All India category-wise for all other posts.

ICG CGEPT Exam Pattern 2026 (Stage I)

Exam mode	Computer Based Examination (online)
Number of questions	100 (Multiple Choice Questions)
Marks	1 mark per question (100 marks)

Syllabus	Detailed syllabus is available on the portal

Minimum passing marks in Stage I:

Category	Passing marks
