NOTE: EBC & EWS are different categories. EBC candidates are not entitled to any job reservation.

SC, ST, OBC (NCL) & EWS), will be filled only by candidates belonging to that community/category.
8.3 Hence, SC, ST & OBC-NCL candidates who fulfil the requisite Educational qualifications, can also apply against UR vacancies for which they will have to compete as general (un-reserved) candidates without any relaxation /
concession in age, qualification or marks, etc. In any case, candidates are advised to indicate their actual community in the application.
8.4 For availing reservation, EWS, SC, ST & OBC-NCL candidates should furnish the necessary certificates (in original) during DV. The certificates should be issued by competent authorities as per the formats given at Annexure-I (for SC & ST candidates), Annexure-II (for OBC-NCL candidates) and Annexure-III (for EWS candidates).
