The initial advertisement was released in January 2024 for 113 posts. However, following the implementation of the SEBC (Socially and Educationally Backward Classes) reservation, the process was put on hold. Upon review and guidance from the Urban Development Department and the Divisional Commissioner’s office, it was determined that 171 positions were vacant in total. Of these, two were filled under the Lad-Page Committee guidelines, leaving 169 posts open for recruitment.

Out of 27,879 candidates who had applied to the earlier notification, many have now exceeded the upper age limit. Taking note of this, the state government, on PMC’s recommendation, has allowed age relaxation. These applicants will now be considered eligible and will also have an opportunity to revise their category preferences.
