Competive examination / written test / shortlisting by the academic record / call up notices.

21 . Subject to the requisitions Competitive Examinations shall normally be held once in a year in respect of the following posts:-
(a)
Extra Assistant Commissioners / Deputy Superintendent of Police / Section Officers / Excise and Taxation Officers (EAC/DSP/SO/ ETOs).
(b) Civil Judge-cum-Judicial Magistrate.
(c) Naib Tehsildar
(d) Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police.
22. Minimum qualifying marks in each subject and aggregate shall be as laid down by the government.
23 . In direct recruitment cases if disproportionate number of applications are received as against the number of available vacancies, the Commission may hold a screening test so as to bring the candidates to a manageable level of interview. The candidates will be required to appear in the said test which may include screening test in the relevant field or general knowledge and / or psychological (general ability) test for shortlisting of the candidates. Where no such test is held, shortlisting can also be made on the basis of such academic and / or professional record of the candidates as the Commission may decide to take into consideration.
24. The Commission will decide the nature of the screening test keeping in view the qualification and experience prescribed for the post. Admission letter will contain the detail in respect of date, time, centre and nature of the test alongwith other necessary instructions. On receipt of result a merit list of all the candidates shall be drawn. The top ten candidates on the merit list shall be called for interview against a post reserved for merit while five candidates per post shall be called against zonal post. In the case of higher number of available vacancies both for merit and zones, the Commission may reduce the ratio of shortlisting and decide the same on case-to-case basis. Ordinarily, zonal shortlisting will be linked to the number of available vacancies in a particular zone.

Those candidates shall be called for disabled seats who are in possession of a certificate issued by the Board of Rehabilitation of disabled persons stating their disability.

25. All candidates appearing for competitive examination will be allowed three chances for each individual examination while four chances will be allowed in combination of different competitive examinations.
26. Where the candidate remains absent in the competitive examination his chance will remain intact. However, if he appears in any one subject it will be deemed to have availed the chance.
27. In direct recruitment cases other than the competitive examination, the candidates will have three chances of physical appearance for interview for posts having one and the same qualification and pay scale. In case he fails all the time he shall be ineligible. However, if he qualifies the interview but could not be recommended due to zonal adjustment etc, such a chance will not be counted towards chance limitations.
28. Call notices shall be issued under registered cover to all eligible candidates as far as possible fifteen days before the interview. However, where a Competitive Examination or screening test is to be held such notices may be issued through ordinary mail twenty-one days before the start of examination. The date of examination shall also be notified in the press.
