Current Application Window:
The application form for driver recruitment is currently open, and the deadline for filling and final submission along with the fee is 11:59 PM on September 18, 2026. According to the official portal, this is the deadline, so to avoid any technical issues, you should complete your application and make the payment before this deadline.
ELIGIBILITY CUT-OFF
Check Every Condition As On The Last Date
Your age, education, driving licence and work experience will be verified with 8th September 2026 as the reference date; also keep in mind that having an LMV (Light Motor Vehicle) licence and having driving experience are two completely different conditions, i.e. merely having a licence will not fulfil the experience requirement nor will experience alone without a licence be valid; you will have to fulfil both these conditions separately.
