fix minimum qualifying marks component-wise in Paper-I and II for
different categories of candidates, viz, UR, SC, ST, OBC, etc.

disclosed by the aggregate marks (marks of Written Examination and
Interview) 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 shall be recommended
for appointment upto the number of un-reserved vacancies.
Provided

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 candidates which will thus comprise 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. category or Ex-Servicemen, to
the extent the number of vacancies reserved for them, cannot be filled
up on the basis of General Standards, 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 candidates who
qualifies on the basis of relaxed standards, viz., age limit,
experience in 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 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.

II: Candidates who are finally selected to be appointed on the basis of
this Examination, as Statistical Investigator Grade IV of SSS, shall be
required to undertake field work to collect Socio-economic and other

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

eligibility conditions. If, on verification, at any time before or
after the Written examination and interview, it is found that they do
not fulfill any of the eligibility conditions, their candidature for
the examination will be cancelled by the Commission.
B: Resolution of tie cases
If,
there are candidates having the same aggregate marks in the written
examination plus Interview 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,
tie still persists, then the marks in the paper where the first cut-off
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.
