They can then select the state from which they submitted their application. The PDF file will contain the list of candidates who have been shortlisted based on their 10th class examination scores.

The merit list includes essential details such as the percentage of marks obtained by the candidates. This information helps applicants confirm their selection and identify the division under which they have been shortlisted. The recruitment process aims to fill a significant number of vacancies across the country, attracting a large pool of applicants. Following the release of the merit list, the verification process for documents will commence. Candidates whose names appear in the list must report to their respective divisional offices to submit original documents and two sets of photocopies.
