cut-offs in Paper-I. As the vacancies for MTS are in two age groups i.e. (i) 18

make up for the deficiency in the reserved quota, irrespective of their rank in
the order of merit. In so far as cases of ex-serviceman are concerned,
deduction of the military service rendered from the age of ex-servicemen is
permissible against the reserved or unreserved posts and such exemption will
not be termed as relaxed standards in regard to age. Similarly for PwD
candidates, relaxation of 10 years in upper age limit will not be termed as
relaxed standards.
- A person with disability who is selected on his/ her own
merit can be appointed against an unreserved vacancy provided the post is
identified suitable for Persons with Disability of relevant category.
