N.B. (i) A candidate is required to specify clearly in col. 17(I) of
the Application Form the Services for which he wishes to be considered in the
order of his preference. He is also advised to indicate as many preferences as
he wishes to opt so that having regard to his rank in the order of merit due
consideration can be given to his preferences when making appointments.
(ii) Candidates should note that they will be considered for appointment to
those services only for which they express their preferences and for no other
service(s). No request for addition/alteration in the preferences already
indicated by a candidate in his application will be entertained by the
Commission.
(iii) Before indicating their preferences for different courses, the
candidates should first decide their preference for the two Academies viz.
National Defence Academy and Indian Naval Academy 10+2 cadet Entry Scheme. If
a candidate opts for National Defence Academy as his first choice, he must first
indicate his preferences for different wings of National Defence Academy viz
Army, Navy and Air Force followed by his preferences for Indian Naval Academy
10+2 cadet Entry Scheme. Alternatively, if a candidate opts for Indian Naval
Academy 10+2 cadet Entry Scheme as his first choice, he must first indicate his
preference for Indian Naval Academy 10+2 cadet Entry Scheme as his first
choice, followed by his preference for different wings of National Defence
Academy. Thus candidates opting for Indian Naval Academy 10+2 cadet Entry
Scheme Course as well as other courses of National Defence Academy must give
Indian Naval Academy 10+2 cadet Entry Scheme as their first preference or the
last preference. Indian Naval Academy 10+2 cadet Entry Scheme cannot be given

is given as 2nd or 3rd preference by the candidate, it will be deemed to be the
last preference.

The
Delhi High court has dismissed a petition by six Union Public Service Commission
(UPSC) candidates, challenging the evaluation process of the prestigious civil
services examination. The candidates, who failed to clear main examination
thrice from 2007 to 2009, alleged gross irregularities in allocation of marks.
Nearly three lakh candidates take the examination each year.
Alleging
that the autonomous Public Service Commission was working under political
interference, a senior BJP leader today demanded a CBI inquiry into charges of "favouritism
and biased results" of Kashmir Administrative Service (KAS) main
examinations."PSC is working under political interference. We demand a CBI
inquiry into favouritism and biased results of KAS Main examinations," BJP
National Executive member and former BJP State President Nirmal Singh told
reporters here. He demanded that a white paper be published to list the working
of PSC since 1975 and that two separate Public Service Commissions be set up to
end discrimination against Jammu region in selection process.
Setting
the stage for civil service aspirants to be tested for their aptitude rather
than their memory, the government on Monday announced the outline of the new
Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) and changes in the General Studies paper
that would requires aspirants to be as well versed in environmental studies —
say climate change — as social development.
