Only candidates clearing the category-wise cutoff at each stage move forward to the final selection list.

We don't have a verified interview or selection-round account for this exact post — and we won't fabricate one just to fill this section.

What's worth doing instead: go through the official notification for the precise stage-by-stage process (exam, skill/physical round, document check, interview if it applies to this post), and have your certificates, category documents, and photo ID sorted in advance. Most last-minute rejections at this stage come down to paperwork, not preparation.
