The Green Marshal selection process consists of district-wise shortlisting followed by an interview or proficiency assessment conducted by the Directorate of Tourism.
- District-wise shortlisting based on SSLC percentage.

When candidates have the same SSLC percentage, preference will be given to local residents as a tie-breaker, subject to valid residence proof. If the tie remains unresolved, the older candidate based on date of birth will rank higher.
