qualify in the skill test will be recommended for appointment by the
Commission on the basis of their performance in the Written
Examination selection of candidates will be made depending upon their
merit position and option for various posts, Groups, Departments and

Provided that SC, ST, OBC and PH candidates, who are selected for
posts and for States of their choice on their own merit without
relaxed standards, alongwith candidates belonging to other
communities, will not be adjusted against the reserved share of
vacancies. Such SC, ST, OBC and PH candidates will be accommodated
against the general/unreserved vacancies as per their position in the
overall Merit List. The reserved vacancies will be filled up
separately from amongst the eligible SCs, STs, OBCs, and PH candidates

irrespective of their rank in the order of merit. In so far as
cases of Ex-Serviceman are concerned, deduction of the military
service rendered from the age of Ex-Servicemen is permissible against

as relaxed standards in regard to age.

suitable in all respects of appointment to the service/post. The
Commission undertakes detailed post examination analysis of answer
sheets/scripts of the candidates at each stage of the Examination and,
