Selection Process
The PFRDA Grade A selection procedure is expected to consist of the following stages:

- Phase 2 Online Examination: Candidates shortlisted from Phase 1 appear for the main examination, which may include descriptive and stream-specific papers.
- Interview and Final Selection: Phase 2-qualified candidates are called for an interview. Final appointment remains subject to document verification, eligibility checks and medical requirements.
