NOTE-I : Questions in Paper-I will be of 10th standard level, Paper-II of 10+2 level and Paper-III of
graduation level.
NOTE- II: The Commission will have full discretion to fix separate minimum qualifying marks
in each of the papers in Tier II and in the aggregate of all the papers separately for each
category of candidates (viz. SC/ST/OBC /PH/ExS/General (UR) Only those candidates who
qualify in all the papers as well as in the aggregate would be eligible to be considered for being
called for Interview and/or Skill Test.
There will be different set of Questions for Visually Handicapped (VH) candidates in
Paper-I-Quantitative Ability, which shall not have any component of Map/Graphs/Statistical
Data/ Diagrams/Figures/Geometrical problems/Pie-chart etc. However, components of other
papers will be the same as that for general candidates.
NOTE-III: Any representation to key of the examination will be scrutinized with the help of
experts, wherever necessary, and evaluation in that case will be done with modified answer
key. The decision of the Commission in this regard will be final and no further representation
will be entertained.
