3. Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates must upload and verify caste, age, education, typing and reservation documents as applicable.
4. Final Recommendation: Final recommendation will depend on marks, reservation rules, document verification and the ranking procedure.

The written exam is the main scoring stage, so your final position will depend on your exam marks and the applicable reservation rules. The notification also mentions 25% negative marking for wrong answers, so guessing every question without care can reduce your score.
