disqualifying appointment in future.
Merit is the only criteria that decides the selections.  Candidates trying to use unfair
means shall be disqualified from the selection.  No correspondence whatsoever will be
entertained from the candidates.  
8) The Commission would be analyzing the responses  of a candidate with other appeared
candidates to detect patterns of similarity.  If it is suspected that the responses have been
shared and the scores obtained are not genuine/ valid, the Commission reserves the right to
cancel his/ her candidature and to invalidate the Answer Sheet.
9) Wherever Written Examination is held only those  candidates who are totally blind and
candidate whose writing speed is affected by CEREBRAL PALSY, can use scribe at the
Written Examination.  In all such cases where a scribe is used, the following rules will apply.
(a)The scribe should be from an academic discipline other than that of the candidate and
the academic qualification of the scribe should be one grade lower than the stipulated
eligibility criteria.
(b)The candidate as well as the scribe will have to give a suitable undertaking confirming the
rules applicable.
10) If the candidate noticed any discrepancy printed on Hall ticket as to community, date of birth
