The important points related to the document verification are given below:

• The CBT 2 exam is conducted separately for each pay level. As such, the candidates are considered in more than one pay level as per their merit and option for posts in that respective pay level
• Candidates can only be empaneled against any one post, it is essential to publish the shortlisting for document verification in various pay levels one after the other in sequence, starting from the highest pay level of 6, so that unique candidates are shortlisted across pay levels
• Candidates who are called for document verification for the posts in Pay level-6 have to give an undertaking that if found medically fit for the posts of pay Level-6, they forfeit the right to be considered for any other pay levels. Candidates will thus be empanelled against one post only
• Candidates found medically unfit for the posts in Pay level-6 are considered for shortlisting to the next lower pay level posts as per their merit and medical fitness in that respective pay levels
• Candidates finally empanelled, after medical examination, for the post in Pay level-6 is excluded in the shortlisting process out to other lower pay level posts. Each candidate needs to attend document verification and medical examination only once in normal course
• Thereafter, the shortlisting of other lower pay levels (Pay level 5, 4, 3 & 2) is published in a phased manner
