Measurement of Physical Standards, Physical Tests and Medical Tests will be conducted by the User Department concerned after final selection and nomination of candidates by the Staff Selection Commission. If a candidate fails in such tests, his candidature will not be subsequently considered for any other post/ department. Candidates are therefore required to carefully go through these requirements and give their considered preference of posts/ Departments
