Sequential Steps in the Selection Process: Receipt and Screening of Application Blank (A): The preliminary stage where applicants submit structured information (education, work experience, skills) to establish initial eligibility. Reference and Background Check (C): Prior employers, academic institutions, and character references are contacted to verify the authenticity of the candidate's claims and past performance. Physical / Medical Examination (B): Candidates who pass preliminary screening and tests undergo a medical check to ensure fitness for the job requirements. Issuance of Formal Job Offer (D): Once verified and medically cleared, the candidate receives an official job offer letter specifying salary, designation, and terms. Job Placement and Induction (E): After accepting the offer, the candidate joins the organization, is placed in a specific position, and undergoes orientation/induction. Thus, the correct sequential order is A → C → B → D → E.
