Post-cum-States/ UTs/ CCAs for which they have given their preference in
the online Application Form. If a candidate has opted for all the Post-cum-
States/ UTs/ CCAs, he will be considered for the vacancies of all the Post-
cum-States/ UTs/ CCAs. However, if a candidate has given limited

18.3 Minimum qualifying marks in Session-I and as well as in Session-II of

cut-offs in Session-II. As the vacancies for MTS are in two age groups i.e. (i)
18 to 25 years and (ii) 18 to 27 years, the Commission may fix separate age
group-wise, category-wise and State/ UT-wise cut-offs in CBE.
18.6 For the post of MTS, candidates will be shortlisted on the basis of their
performance in Session-II of CBE. Normalized scores of the candidates will
be used to determine merit in CBE. The merit list would be prepared solely
based on performance in Session-II.

(vacancies: candidates) for appearing in PET/ PST and on the basis of their
performance in Session-II of CBE. Normalized scores of the candidates will
be used to determine merit in CBE. The Commission may fix CCA-wise and
category wise cut offs in Session-II of CBE.
18.8 The candidates who fail to qualify PET/ PST will not be considered for the
post of Havaldar. However, as per their merit in the CBE, their candidature

on the basis of performance of the candidates in Session-II of CBE, the

the candidates in Session-II will be used to determine merit and the

States/ UTs/ CCAs for which they have given their preference in the online
Application Form. In the final result, there will be a single select list for all
the posts. Once a Post-cum-State/ UT/ CCA is allocated, no change will be
made by the Commission due to non-fulfillment of any post specific
requirements of physical/ medical/ educational standards.
18.12 As the vacancies for the post of MTS are in two age groups i.e. (i) 18 to 25
years and (ii) 18 to 27 years, therefore, in the final result, there will be
separate age group-wise, State/ UT-wise and category-wise cut-offs. For the

Page 29 of 87

candidates who are eligible for both the age-groups, vacancies will first be
filled in the age-group of 18-25 years.

these categories are not likely to be available in order to fill up the vacancies
reserved for these categories.
18.15 SC, ST, OBC, EWS, ESM, 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 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, ESM, EWS and PwBD candidates.

relaxed standards viz. age limit, experience or qualifications, permitted
number of chances, extended zone of consideration, etc., irrespective of his
merit position, is to be counted against reserved vacancies and not against
un-reserved vacancies. 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 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.
18.17 A person with disability who is selected on his own merit can be appointed
against an unreserved vacancy provided the post is identified suitable for
Persons with Disability of relevant category.
