if an ex-serviceman applies for various vacancies before joining any civil employment, he/she can avail of the benefit of reservation as ex-servicemen for any subsequent employment. However, to avail of this benefit, an ex-serviceman as soon as he/she joins any civil employment should give self-declaration/undertaking to the concerned employer about the date-wise details of application for various vacancies for which he/she had applied for before joining the initial civil employment. Further, this benefit would be available only in respect of vacancies which are filled on direct recruitment and wherever reservation is applicable to the ex- servicemen.

Candidates will be shortlisted by applying suitable cut off

in the percentage of marks, in multiples of five. The number of candidates shortlisted may be slightly more or less due to the criteria of applying cut off in multiples of five.

(d) Where the Merit of the candidate is indicated in the Final Year Mark Statement in CGPA without indicating the corresponding percentage of marks, the Commission will follow the criteria indicated by the University/Institution in the Certificate, if any for arriving at the corresponding percentage. In all other cases, the Commission will apply the conversion formula of CGPA (as indicated in the Final Year Mark Statement) multiplied by (x) 9.5. The criteria followed by the Commission in shortlisting candidates will be final. No appeal or representation will be entertained against such Shortlisting criteria. f) The information furnished by the candidates in their applications will be verified by the Commission with reference to the original documents after the OMR/Computer Based Examination. During verification of documents, if it is found that any information furnished by the candidate in the application is wrong, his/her candidature will be rejected forthwith.

(f) Resolution of TIE CASES: In case two or more candidates secure same marks in the OMR/Computer Based Examination, the tie will be resolved by the following procedure: On the basis of date of birth with the older candidate being placed higher in merit. Alphabetical Order of first names of the candidates. IMPORTANT NOTE: OMR/Computer Based Examination for Selection Posts will be held only in selected cities/Centres and the Commission reserves the right to call candidates to any of the identified centres for the examination. The Commissions decision regarding allotment of Examination Centre shall be final and no request/appeal will be entertained for change of centre. RECOMMENDATION FOR APPOINTMENT: The Commission will have the full discretion to fix separate minimum qualifying marks in Computer based/ OMR Based Multiple Choice OMR/Computer Based Examination/Skill Test, wherever applicable, for each category of candidates [viz. SC/ST/OBC/PH(PWD)/ExS/General (UR)]. After the Examination and Skill Test, wherever applicable, the Commission will draw up the Merit List, on the basis of the marks obtained by the candidates in the OMR/Computer Based Examination. The Commission has prescribed minimum qualifying cut-off marks in the OMR/Computer Based Examination for different categories of candidates. Based on the position in the Merit List, candidates equal to the number of vacancies advertised will be recommended for appointment, subject to their obtaining the minimum qualifying cut-off marks prescribed by the Commission for different categories of candidates. SC, ST and OBC candidates, who are selected on their own merit without relaxed standards (i.e. relaxation in age limit and short listing criteria), will not be adjusted against the reserved share of vacancies. Such SC, ST and OBC candidates will be adjusted against the general/unreserved vacancies as per their position in the overall Merit List. The reserved vacancies, if any advertised, will be filled up separately from amongst the eligible SC, ST and OBC candidates who are lower in merit. A PH (PWD) candidate who meets the standards fixed for candidates of his/her respective category without availing relaxation in selection and in short listing criteria fixed for such categories, can be recommended against an unreserved vacancy, provided the post is identified suitable for persons with that particular category of disability. An Ex-Serviceman or PH (PWD) category candidate who qualifies on the basis of relaxed standards will be considered against vacancies reserved for them only. In so far as cases of Ex- Serviceman/PH candidates are concerned, age relaxation 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 the Government is satisfied, after such enquiry/verification of documents, as may be considered necessary, that the candidate is suitable in all respects for appointment to the service/post.

17. In pursuance of the Governments initiative of increasing access of the unemployed to job opportunities, the Regional Offices of the Commission will upload on their websites, the details of the non-selected candidates applied for different posts, who meet the minimum qualifying cut off marks prescribed for different categories of candidates, along with the marks secured by them in the qualifying Examination. The objective is that other private/public agencies, if they so desire, can use

the data for making recruitment to posts in their organisations. For this purpose, the candidates will have to exercise their option in the online application form. Data of candidates who opt out of the disclosure scheme would not be placed on the website. 18. NO PERSON a. who has entered into or contracted a marriage with a person having a spouse living; or b. who, having a spouse living, has entered into or contracted a marriage with any person, shall be eligible for appointment to the service, Provided that Central Government may, if satisfied that such marriage is permissible under the personal law applicable to such person and the other party to the marriage and there are other grounds for so doing, exempt any person from the operation of this rule. 19. GOOD MENTAL AND BODILY HEALTH OF CANDIDATE A candidate must be in good mental and bodily health and free from any physical defect likely to interfere with the efficient discharge of his/her duties as an Officer of the service. A candidate who, after such medical examination as may be prescribed by the competent authority, is found not to satisfy these requirements, will not be appointed. Only such candidates as are likely to be considered for appointment will be medically examined. Note : In the case of the disabled Ex-Defence Services personnel, a certificate of fitness granted by the Demobilisation Medical Board of the Defence Services will be considered adequate for the purpose of appointment. 20.
