Fifty candidates have been selected based on the Junior Assistant Main Examination. The recruitment process adhered to the prescribed rules, merit, and reservation provisions, reinforcing the Yogi Government's commitment to transparency and merit-based recruitment.\n\nInitially, 62 Junior Assistant posts were advertised, but the number was later reduced to 54 vacancies following a revised requisition from the department. The final selection comprised 50 candidates, with 34 from the Unreserved category, 3 from Scheduled Castes, 1 from Scheduled Tribes, 7 from Other Backward Classes, and 5 from the Economically Weaker Sections category.\n\nThe Commission ensured that candidates eligible under horizontal reservation were placed within their original categories, and the selection process followed the prescribed procedures for women, persons with disabilities, and other reservation categories. In some cases, where vacancies remained unfilled, posts were carried forward, and additional eligible candidates were selected according to the rules.\n\nCategory-wise cut-off marks were released along with the final result. The Unreserved category scored a cut-off of 65 marks, while Scheduled Castes needed 26.75 marks, Scheduled Tribes required 50 marks, OBC candidates needed 62.50 marks, and EWS candidates needed 63.75 marks.
