merit/marks obtained.

candidates for appointment against unreserved vacancies and any surplus of candidates against reserved
vacancies arising out of the provisions of this rule, the Commission may make the recommendations in the
matter prescribed in Sub-rules (4) and (5).
(4) While recommending the candidates, the Commission shall, in the first instance, take into account
the total number of vacancies in all categories. This total number of recommended candidates shall be reduced

Classes and the Economically Weaker Sections who acquire the merit at or above the fixed general qualifying
standard without availing themselves of any concession or relaxation in the eligibility or selection criteria in
terms of the proviso to sub-rule (1). Alongwith this list of recommended candidate, the Commission shall also

reserved categories ranking in order of merit below the last recommended candidate under each category. The
number of candidates in each of these categories will be equal to the number of reserved category candidates

recommendation(s) in terms of sub-rule (5) is finally concluded by the Commission.
