Audi said that a total of 1,477,042 applicants applied in 2025 but had to scale down to 746,762 when some applicants did not meet up with the requirements specified in the job publication.
“A total of 217,000 candidates successfully uploaded their certificates and were shortlisted for the Computer Based Assessment Test.
“Out of 113,105 candidates shortlisted, 53,116 sat for the CBT in November, 2025 across the country and 9,500 were shortlisted for further screening,” he said.
According to the CG, the recruitment exercised lingered until 2026 due to the emergence of the need for proper vetting of candidates.
“Recruitment is a process and it is not easy to vet over one million (1,000,000) people as vetting is very fundamental to the process and takes a longer time.
