BEST Bus Vahak Eligibility Criteria 2026

Before you start filling the form, make sure you meet all three eligibility requirements — education, age, and physical standards.

Educational Qualification

You need to have passed SSC (Class 10) with a minimum of 50% marks. In addition, BEST requires candidates to have passed Marathi as a subject with at least 50 out of 100 marks, either at the lower or higher level, in the same or a higher examination. You must also hold a valid Bus Conductor License (Badge) issued and renewed by the Regional Transport Authority (RTA), Maharashtra State — so if you don’t already have this license, it’s worth getting it sorted before the application closes.

Age Limit (as on 29 July 2026)

Physical Standards

BEST Bus Vahak Recruitment Exam Pattern 2026

Selection is based purely on a Computer Based Test (CBT) with objective, multiple-choice questions. Here’s how the marks are distributed across subjects.

You’ll need to score at least 3 marks in each subject, along with an overall average of 12 marks, to qualify. If the number of applicants is high, BEST will conduct the CBT across multiple shifts and apply the Mean Standard Deviation normalisation method, so candidates across different shifts are scored fairly regardless of how tricky their particular paper was.

BEST Bus Vahak Selection Process 2026

The selection process for this recruitment is refreshingly simple, with just two stages:

1. Computer Based Test (CBT)
2. Document Verification

Here’s something worth knowing before you apply: selected candidates will first be appointed as “Badli Bus Vahak” (Substitute Conductor). You’ll be considered for permanent appointment only after completing the substitute period, and that too depends on satisfactory work, conduct, attendance, and service record. The waiting list stays valid until all reserved vacancies are filled, or for a maximum of two years — whichever comes first.
