must submit requisite certificate from the competent authority, in the prescribed format when
such certificates are sought by concerned Indenting Organizations/Offices at the time of

The formats of the certificates are annexed with the Notice of this Examination. The certificate

up in the application form and are able to prove the same by furnishing the requisite certificate
issued by the competent authority when such certificates are sought by concerned User

Authority, failing which the candidature of the candidate will be cancelled. If the candidature
of a candidate is cancelled by the User Organization/Office/concerned Authority for non-
furnishing of the requisite certificate in support of the category filled up in the application
form, the candidate would be solely responsible for the same and the Commission will not
have any responsibility. Any grievance received in this regard in any form like Post, Fax,
Email, by hand, etc. shall not be entertained by the Commission and will be summarily
rejected.
“For example, a candidate X filled OBC in his application form. If X is unable to produce the

stage before the User Organization/Office or the concerned Authority, in such circumstances,
candidature of X will be cancelled and X will have no claim for consideration of his/her

amended from time to time) issued by Department of Empowerment of Persons with
Disabilities, should be clearly mentioned by the competent authority issuing the disability
certificate. If a candidate is rejected by the Indenting Department/ Organization for non-
furnishing of requisite certificate in support of PwBD sub-category filled in the application form,
the candidate will be solely responsible for the same and the Commission will not have any
responsibility. Any grievance on the issue received in any form like Post, Email, by hand, etc.
shall not be entertained by the Commission and it will be summarily rejected

5.4 Crucial date for claim of SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/ESM status or any other benefit, viz., fee
concession, reservation, age-relaxation, etc., where not specified otherwise, will be the closing

Commission within the stipulated time, will not be considered for any post in the First
Round of Tentative Allocation (FRTA)/ result. Such candidates shall not be provided with
another opportunity to exercise preference for posts and will be solely responsible for the

Standards for the posts in BRO is available at Annexure-XIII. Candidates should ensure

Page 21 of 85

will be shortlisted, category-wise, to appear in Paper-II (Descriptive Paper).

16.3 Based on the performance in Paper-I & Paper-II, candidates will be considered for
FRTA/final selection. For final merit, the weightage will be 50% of the scores in Paper-I and
100% of marks in Paper-II. There may be separate category wise cut-off in Paper-I & Paper-II.

16.4 FRTA/ Final selection and allocation of Ministry/ Department/Organization will be made

dated 03.03.2026 and 08.04.2026 published on the website of the Commission. The candidates
are advised to go through the same.

16.6 The Commission makes FRTA/final allocation of posts on the basis of merit-cum
preferences of Posts/Departments given by the candidates and once a post is allotted, no change
of post will be made by the Commission on the ground of non-fulfillment of any post specific
requirements of physical/medical/educational standards or any other requirement. In other words,
for example, if a candidate has given higher preference for a post and is selected for that post, in
that case, if he/she fails to meet the medical/physical/educational, etc. standards of that post,
his/her candidature will be rejected and he/she will not be considered for other preferences.

16.7 SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwBD candidates who are selected on their own merit without
relaxed standards, will not be adjusted against the reserved share of vacancies. Such candidates
will be accommodated against the general/unreserved vacancies in the post as per their position
in the overall merit or vacancies earmarked for their category, whichever is advantageous to
them. The reserved vacancies will be filled up separately from amongst the eligible SC, ST,
OBC, EWS and PwBD candidates.

16.8 SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwBD candidate who qualifies on the basis of relaxed standards;
viz., age limit, experience or qualifications, permitted number of chances, extended zone of
consideration, etc., irrespective of his/her merit position, is to be counted against reserved
vacancies and not against un-reserved vacancies. Insofar as cases of Ex-Serviceman are
concerned, deduction of the military service rendered from the age of ex-servicemen is
permissible against the reserved or unreserved posts and such exemption will not be termed as
relaxed standards in regard to age. Similarly for PwBD candidates, relaxation of 10 years in
upper age limit will not be termed as relaxed standards.

16.9 A person with benchmark disability (PwBD) who is selected on his/her own merit can be
appointed against an unreserved vacancy provided the post is identified suitable for persons with
benchmark disability (PwBD) of relevant category.

16.10 Success in the examination confers no right of appointment unless the Government is
satisfied after such enquiry as may be considered necessary that the candidate is suitable in all
respects for appointment to the service/post.

16.11 The candidates applying for the examination should ensure that they fulfill all the
