19. Mode of Selection:

Candidates fulfilling the prescribed qualifications will be required to undergo a Written Examination. The Commission holds full discretion to fix minimum qualifying marks component-wise in Paper-I and II for different categories, i.e., UR, SC, ST, OBC, etc.

Candidates declared qualified on the basis of the Preliminary Examination would be required to appear for the Main Examination and those who qualify the Main examination will be called for skill test.

Final Select List would be prepared on All- India basis in order of merit as disclosed by the aggregate marks (marks of Written Examination and SKILL test (in respect of Grade D and Grade C Stenos) – (Typewriting Test for LDCs is a qualifying test only) finally awarded to each candidate as given under this scheme of recruitment and in that order so many candidates as are found by the Commission to have qualified in the Examination will be recommended for appointment upto the number of un-reserved vacancies.

 

Provided that SC, ST and OBC candidates, who are selected on their own merit without relaxed standards, alongwith candidates belonging to other communities, will not be adjusted against the reserved share of vacancies.

The reserved vacancies will be filled up separately from amongst the eligible SCs, STs and OBCs which will, thus, comprise of SC, ST and OBC candidates who are lower in merit than the last general candidate on merit list of unreserved category but otherwise found suitable for appointment even by relaxed standard.

Provided that the candidates belonging to the PH (OH, HH and VH ) category or Ex-Servicemen, to the extent the number of vacancies reserved for them, be recommended at the relaxed standards to make up for the deficiency in the reserved quota subject to fitness of such candidates for selection, irrespective of their ranks in the order of merit.

However, an Ex-Serviceman or Physically Handicapped category candidate who qualifies on the basis of relaxed standards viz. age limit, experience or qualifications, permitted number of chances in written examination, extended zone of consideration, etc. is to be counted against reserved vacancies and not against general vacancies.

In so far as cases of Ex-Servicemen are concerned, deduction of Military Service rendered from the age of Ex-Servicemen is permissible against the reserved or unreserved posts and such exemption cannot be termed as relaxed standards in regard to age.

Success in the examination confers no right of appointment unless 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.

Resolution of tie cases

(A) in case of stenographer grade ‘d’ and stenographer grade ‘c’ examination

If there are candidates having the same aggregate marks in the written examination plus Stenography Test then the tie is resolved by the Commission by referring to the total marks in the written examination, i.e., a candidate having more marks in the written examination gets preference over the candidates having the same aggregate marks.

If the tie still persists, then the marks in the paper where the first cutoff is given is referred to, i.e., a candidate having more marks in this paper is given preference.

This procedure is followed by Date of Birth, i.e., the candidate older in age gets preference. Lastly, if the tie still persists, the tie is finally resolved by referring to the alphabetical order of names, i.e., a candidate whose name begins with the alphabet which comes first in the alphabetical order gets preference.

(B) In case of LDCs Examination

If there are candidates having the same aggregate marks in the written examination ( Typing Test is of qualifying nature ) then the tie is resolved by the Commission by referring to the marks of the paper where the first cut-off is given, i.e., a candidate having more marks in this paper is given preference.

If the tie still persists then Date of Birth of the candidates is referred to, i.e., the candidate older in age gets preference. Lastly, if the tie still persists, the tie is finally resolved by referring to the alphabetical order of names, i.e., a candidate whose name begins with the alphabet which comes first in the alphabetical order gets preference.

Note: The candidates applying for the examination should ensure that they fulfill all the eligibility conditions for admission to the examination.

Their admission at all the stages of examination will be purely provisional, subject to their satisfying the prescribed eligibility conditions. If, on verification, at any time before or after the written examination and skill test, it is found that they do not fulfill any of the eligibility conditions, their candidature for the examination will be cancelled by the Commission.
